  • AnonymousWho wrote this lopsided piece? Lindbergh was clearly an antisemite and a Nazi sympathizer.
  • Horsehockey from Butte, MtThere is ample historical documentation that Lindbergh was both an anti-Semite and a Nazi sympathizer. In October 1938, he accepted a medal from Herman Goering, and continued to oppose American involvement in the war even after Kristallnacht and while Germans were bombing London.
  • Jim Mccord from MarylandI'm impressed with the fairness of your review of Guthrie vs. Lindbergh.
  • Amelia from NevadaUnwarranted? Even his f--king wikipedia page notes that he was a white supremacist who openly supported the Nazi's anti-semitism. He even mentions the "Jewish Question" in his diary entry about Kristallnacht and also stated he preferred a 'racially pure' Europe over a democratic one. This 'analysis' is at best uninformed and stupid.
