Yeah, a lot of libs loved Hitler. Henry Ford, Prescott Bush, Charles Lindbergh... All of them did business with Adolf. A lot of radical left types in that group.
Can you name the only American company to take out ads in German newspapers during the war saying it was firmly on the side of the Nazi's and was proud to be among their supporters? Hint: It was not owned by a Democrat. (To be fair the ads were placed by their German subsidiary. In that way the owner of the company could, and did, sell war materials to the US and to Germany.)
If what you say is correct then there would have been no need for the Fairness Doctrine and the US would have had television broadcasting in major cities by 1938. As it was the first public display of television in the US was at the New York Worlds Fair in 1939. There was a Patent dispute to settle in the US, but all that would have taken to clear up was money and the Germans had lots of it.
RCA (Radio Corporation of America) owned the US rights to television. RCA was run by David Sarnoff, a Russian Jew, who felt no compulsion to do business with the Nazis. This was another roadblock to the Nazis starting their television broadcasting in the US.
(By the way, the first television was really broadcast in England in 1929 but the resolution was only 30 lines so it was very hard to see. In 1935 everyone switched to the Marconi system which transmitted in 405 lines. This was the system the Germans used. They had no part in inventing any part of it. They just saw it as a great way to control the masses.)
And Nazi Fascism was a product of the left? Well, that's a new one. I guess I should pay more attention to right wing e-mails in the future.
Read up on a little movement called The German American Bund. Would you consider them a left wing movement? On second thought, perhaps you should skip reading about this group. I would hate to be the one to cause you to lose your faith since there are many parallels between the German American Bund and today's Republican Party. For one: They both hate Unions. There are other examples, but you can read about them if you wish.
Amazing historical fact.... The Bund was the first group in the US to refer to themselves as 'Real Americans'.
And don't confuse the Bund with the America First Committee which was dedicated to keeping America out of the war. They disbanded right after Dec. 7th, 1941 because America was then at war and many of their members joined the Armed Forces to defeat our enemies. Two members of this group were Gerald R. Ford and John F. Kennedy, so it was not one sided with it came to politics.
