FDR: SAINT OR SATAN?

If you listened to wingnut talk radio today, you'd think FDR had suddenly been transformed from the Great Socialist Satan into another Savior of the Country. On this anniversary of D-Day, the list of extremists who played or read FDR's D-Day evening radio address puzzled me. I heard Slots Bennett, Fats Limbaugh, Moralistic Medved, and Insannity rave about the speech and I suspect there were many others who did the same.

If you were thinking that they would use this to at least for a moment transcend partisan differences, you would be wrong. One key line of attack used these words by FDR:

"And so, in this poignant hour, I ask you to join with me in prayer:
Almighty God:"

The divisive talking point was that no Democrat would use these words today because, as Fats put it, "they normally hate you people [Christians]."
