"The left's political dirt ball"
Swift, indeed!
See if you can believe this bit of historical info.
I found it while reading opinions about media coverage of the recent Arizona shooting...

I found it while reading opinions about media coverage of the recent Arizona shooting...
Patrick J. Buchanan begins his opinion column at WND.com with this:
"On Feb. 15, 1933, Giuseppe Zangara, delusional and a loner, fired his .32-caliber pistol at FDR in the Bayfront Park area of Miami.
Five feet tall, Zangara could not aim over the crowd. So, he stood on a folding chair and was piled on after the first of five shots. He wounded four people, including Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago.
In two weeks, Zangara, who pleaded guilty, had been sentenced to 80 years. When Cermak died on March 6, Zangara was retried for murder and sentenced to the electric chair, where he died on March 20, 1933."
