Father Couglin In Action

Father Coughlin was a Catholic priest at Royal Oak, Michigan's National Shrine of the Little Flower Church. He was one of the first political leaders to use radio to reach a mass audience, as more than forty million tuned to his weekly broadcasts during the 1930s. Early in his career Coughlin was a vocal supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his early New Deal proposals, before later becoming a harsh critic of Roosevelt as too friendly to bankers.

In 1934 he announced a new political organization called the "National Union for Social Justice." He wrote a platform calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor. The membership ran into the millions, resembling the Populist movement of the 1890s.

After hinting at attacks on Jewish bankers, Coughlin began to use his radio program to issue antisemitic commentary, and later to rationalize some of the policies of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.The broadcasts have been called "a variation of the Fascist agenda applied to American culture". His chief topics were political and economic rather than religious, with his slogan being Social Justice, first with, and later against, the New Deal. Many American bishops as well as the Vatican wanted him silenced, and he was eventually silenced by his superiors.

Jews are not christian and Christians are not Jews do you actually expect anybody christian to have anything really nice to say about Jews and do you expect Jews to have love for Christians? All I expect any human to do is respect each other's rights and dignities. I don't really expect anybody to love me personally just respect me as a human.

@HiawathaMohawk the Wikipedia entry on this man openly admits that he was criticizing the Jewish bankers that illegally took control of the United States via the Federal Reserve and that the Jewish president (like all the other national leaders/murderers of European Christians at the time) shut him up. It is rather clear who is who.

When ever you tell the truth about the JEWS you're anti-semetic, it's a tactic they use to shut, the dumb goyim, up. Today they've throw in the word racist to further shut up the goyim. We must speak the truth against these destroyer's of mankind, for it is our sacred duty, " ..under a new kind of g-d made of flesh, blood and clay and hatred... to rewrite the eternal law of God", St, Coughlin stated it clearly, the only difference is that the ballet has been compromised.

Jews killed Christ. Father Coughlin was the best, Jews control our Government. Jews would kill all of us if they could. Remember the Jew will end up in Hell.
