In what way was Huey Long a fascist? You object to FDR being demonized, but you have no problem demonizing those who opposed him. Long was shot on September 8, 1935. That day should live in infamy. FDR probably had him whacked. Long had announced his intention to seek the Democrat nomination for president in 36, and his movement was a juggernaut, he likely would have won. Not that the country would have been better off. The flamboyant demagogue was just as socialistic as FDR, maybe more so. Populist does not equal fascist, contrary to what those inside the beltway believe.
