History 101
This is cute. You may have noticed the Donk's penchant for accusing others of various nefarious doings that they themselves are guilty of. If their president is a sexual reprobate, so too were other presidents. If they lose a close election, it must be because of voter fraud. Yup, Donks have a problem with originality, even in conspiracy theories. They claim that George Bush lied to us, and led us into a war for his own greedy purposes. In his book book, The New Dealers' War, Thomas Fleming reminds us of ... but, you're way ahead of me aren't you? So is Michael Tremoglie, who writes in Front Page:
"The similarities between today’s conspiracy theories and the conspiracy theories of World War II are nearly identical. In the 1940’s Roosevelt was accused of leading the U.S. into World War II because Jews influenced Roosevelt’s foreign policies. This is the direct antecedent of the Neocon, Zionist conspiracy theory of today. Then, FDR’s alleged Jewish Svengalis included Bernard Baruch, Henry Morgenthau, and Felix Frankfurter. Now, Bush’s supposed Jewish cabal consists of Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, and William Kristol. Then, Charles Lindbergh, Father Coughlin and Gerald L.K. Smith were among the chief advocates of the Jewish cabal theory; now, Pat Buchanan, Georgie Anne Geyer, and Ted Kennedy are its principle proponents."
