In March 1937, the State Department apologized on behalf of the United States to Adolf Hitler for comments made about him by the Mayor of New York City, Fiorello LaGuardia.
“In this country the right of freedom of speech is guaranteed by the constitution to every citizen and is cherished as a part of the national heritage,” James C. Dunn of the State Department said. “This however does not lessen the regret of the government when utterances either by private citizens or by public officials speaking in an individual capacity give offense to a government with which we have official relations. I very earnestly deprecate the utterances which have thus given offense to the German government. They do not represent the attitude of this government toward the German government.”

Nice catch !!!
Much better prose than that pathetic old Hillary was able to come up with. Of course, it’s hard to blame all this on a video that no one watched when it came out in June, so she had to really stretch credulity.

I wonder how many other interesting little factoids that have been airbrushed from our history because they are less than flattering on the pigs who run things.
I used to think the official record had holes in it.
Now I think the official hole occasionally slips up and has a record in it.
Very interesting, and strangely encouraging. These are not the “worst times” in the history of the U.S., even though it may seem like it. History repeats, and each generation must rise to each occasion.
“If your freedom of speech has no limits, may you accept our freedom of action” is a belief muslims will not back down from. In fact, here’s the Egyptian prime minister calling for the American people to submit to islam.

It’s an effort to help the muslims brothers in the white house.
If the out of control jackwagons in the executive branch didn’t need that help dragging We the People into Totalitaria the goat sniffing petophiles emerging from the caliphate spring would still be filling their long days with the flock picking out their night’s combaaaanion.
Yep. FDR thought the nazis were OK for awhile.

Sorry for the second ping. I should have mentioned for those who might not know that Fiorello, I believe the first Italian American elected to Congress, an Episcopalian (can't spell that) had a Jewish mom.
Writers like this would be more effective if they would stay away from the conspiracy theories and focus on the heinousness of the act of surrendering free speech itself.
Going into UN conspiracies may play well at FR, but not to the people whose minds need to be changed.
