I’m as conservative as you can get, and I say that Father Coughlin was a disgraceful, lousy anti-semite. All throughout the years 1933 thru 1941 he was a despicable shill for Adolph Hitler with his evil Jew hating diatribes delivered via radio. He railed against the desperate Jewish refugees trying to find a place of refuge in a hostile, inhospitible world, and was vehement in urging Roosevelt and the powers that were in control back then to shut the doors of this country to them. He provided the mouthpiece in this country that Hitler needed to foment hatred and distrust of any Jewish person from Europe who desperately needed refuge from the hell that awaited them over there. Country after country, with the exception of just a miserable handfull shut their doors to Jewish immigrants, probably as a result of heeding the advice of poisonous haters like Coughlin and others like him. Anything good that Coughlin happened to believe in and promote was cancelled out by his disgraceful antisemitism during that period.
