Does anyone else think this show is just another attempt to link our current President to one of the great ones?
"Hey, look, FDR never emphasized the fact that he was in a wheelchair! That's just like when the President neglected to tell us he went AWOL from the NG and snorted cocaine like a mofo!"
Er ... no, it's not. Everyone knew FDR was in a wheelchair. He just didn't play wheelchair basketball against Stalin and Churchill at every opportunity.
"Hey, maybe we think it's possible some guy once told us that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor! That's just like when Bush and the FAA completely ignored over 50 warnings that OBL was going to use domestic planes as missiles!"
NO.
"Hey, I once heard at a Seder that someone told my grandmother's coin dealer at shul that FDR knew about the rail tracks going into the camps, and he decided to use the war machine to confront the German Army instead. It's just like how Bush knowingly allowed Saddam's prisons to be turned into US-run torture chambers! Or how the worst human rights abuses in Cuba are in Gitmo!"
Look, they tried linking GWB to GW, in order to destroy the Constitution. They tried to link him to TJ, to destroy the Bill of Rights.
They tried to link him to Reagan, to wheel out huge Soviet-style government schemes and domestic spy networks.
They tried to link him to Lincoln, so they could campaign against the 14th Amendment's protections in voting and everyday life. Not to mention completely reverse the whole idea of state's rights and Union.
They tried to link him to LBJ, so they could excuse their ridiculous war bungles and attack the 14th Amendment more directly.
Now, they want the New Deal dead ... take down that ad.
