Westbrook Pegler

Interest in Pegler was recently revived when Republican
Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin quoted him in her acceptance
speech at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul,
Minnesota....[2] The speech was written by Matthew Scully, a senior
speech writer for George W. Bush.[3]

Following the Palin acceptance speech New York Times columnist Frank
Rich provided an analysis of the political significance of quoting
Pegler. Mr. Rich noted that "Pegler was a rabid Joe McCarthyite who
loathed F.D.R. and Ike and tirelessly advanced the theory that American
Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe (“geese,” he called them) were all
likely Communists."[4] He suggested that Palin's use of a quote from
"once powerful right-wing Hearst columnist Westbrook Pegler" was
intended to send a subtle but unmistakable signal to far right wing
supporters. [5]

About the same speech, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote: "Fascist writer
Westbrook Pegler, an avowed racist who Sarah Palin approvingly quoted in
her acceptance speech for the moral superiority of small town values,
expressed his fervent hope about my father, Robert F. Kennedy, as he
contemplated his own run for the presidency in 1965, that 'some white
patriot of the Southern tier will spatter his spoonful of brains in
public premises before the snow flies.'[6][7] It might be worth asking
Governor Palin for a tally of the other favorites from her reading list."[8]
