This is really to this whole string..
First off, do you have any idea how different he liberals of 1948 are to today? You might find yourself agreeing ith them a lot. Secondly, I have dug and dug and found that the statement is not attributable to him, no matter what people say, and the idion who says “He could have” is retarded because I could say it like I could say a lot of things...I didn’t. Rightly attributing statements is the responsibility of every honest journalist, otherwise, do not use it...
Finally... did you know he said this? “If you want a symbolic gesture, don’t burn the flag, wash it.”
I don;t think many know exactly hat brand of socialism he fought for, though it s okay to be opposed it is irresponsible to think that it is in any way comprable to the kind of liberal agenda we see today. Many of those Old school socialists would be appalled!
As would many old school democrats.
If you have dug and Dug you need to dig somemore...He did say it ..He was a socialist for sure But also A PROGRESSIVE..If you want to see where liberalism began look to REPUBLICAN Teddy Roosevelt.look him up with progressives 1905 NY times ...then look to Woodrow wilson and HOW he was elected...then look at the changes he did to the constitution...the difference was Thomas was MORE of a radical socialist...
but if you cant find anything on him then look up stuart chase with the book called the road we are traveling ..he was Fdrs economist ..he was the one who gave us the quote ...the new deal...look it up with his name too..and you will see where we are heading and fast...and BE sure to remember HILARY CLINTON said she is a turn of the century PROGRESSIVE..when you get up to speed...you tube everything you can on progressiveism and Fabian socialism.. and then the new world order along with Agenda 21..then after all thet ..sit back and take it all in...when you get the WHOLE picture you will wish to god ALL Americans could understand what is about to happen...peacefully Or otherwise..
