>...In a report for the
>Associated Press (March 30, 2001), Linda A. Johnson informs us that "Lindbergh
>gave numerous speeches at the time denouncing President Franklin D. Roosevelt
>and Jews as 'warmongers.'" As concerns the Jews, this statement is a lie or,
>more
>likely, the product of a slovenly scribbler who could not be bothered to
>ascertain the
>easily accessible truth (see Berg 1998, 425-27). Lindbergh gave only a single,
>famous (or notorious) speech mentioning the Jews, in Des Moines, in October
>1941. There he identified them not as "warmongers" but as, along with the Roo-
>sevelt
>administration and the British government, one of the main forces pushing us
>into war with Germany...
