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 (ā€œgeese,ā€ 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]

happened." -- Norman Thomas, American socialist
