FDR had his "extremists" and he personally saw to it that they would be punished which led to perhaps the most shameful blot on U.S. history.

The vice president of the U.S. and "progressives" persist in spreading dangerous lies that their political opponents namely the Tea Party movement members are terrorists.

One purpose of all these warnings is to make the progressives seem concerned about America "when, in fact, the administration [is] pursuing totalitarian policies. Too few Americans today know of this travesty, a shameful blot on U.S. history."

That actually is a comment about something to which I compared what the Obama Administration and progressives are doing today with what FDR himself directed against political opponents 70 years ago.

I want to mention the comparison again (and again) because a cursory search for information about the Great Sedition Trial of 1944 will yield tons of acceptance -- from the Left -- that these anti-communist opponents of FDR were Nazi supporters. That is a lie just as the Obamunists lie about the Tea Party, et al.

As one of the prosecuted explained in the reference I provided on another thread FDR's DoJ included convicted Nazi supporters in the group of the accused for the sole intent to support the lie that all were Nazi supporters.

After years of persecution which began in the 1930s the efforts were finally denounced by all except the communists and their dupes.

Harry Truman as president fired the DoJ prosecutor and even the Washington Post editors -- whose employee helped FDR's DoJ entrap the victims -- denounced the years-long efforts and said that a mistake "was made in bringing 30 individuals of widely varying temperaments and backgrounds to trial at the same time and place for a series of alleged offenses classified as sedition."

Also the purpose of the president of the United States of America himself going after this group of "little people" was because it was merely a "warm up". The real targets were the likes of Republican Senator Robert Taft.

I hope Washington-insider Republicans take a look at all aspects of the Great Sedition Trial of 1944. It could prepare them.

Really? REALLY?! These idiots on "our side" have no clue about history back to Jimmy Carter, let alone what FDR did. While I applaud you're optimism, I just can't join with it...

Sorry, your comment was well written. My response will ill phrased. I respect what you said. I just have no respect for most Republican “leaders” who purport to be on our side, and my disgust bled out a bit...
