Yep, that's the guy. Just couldn't remember the priests last name.
Adios.

Ahhh...now it makes sense. So this was Father Charles Coughlin then?

He was a Catholic Priest who died in Michigan 'bout 35 years ago. One of the leading lights of the American First Movement which existed up to America's entry into World War 2. Had quite a following. Regular radio shows, and public appearances in arenas and open air gatherings. Contemporary of the American flyer Lindburgh.
Assumed by many in the states now to be pro Hitler. If so in good company with Henry Ford, the corporate controllers of I.B.M., Standard Oil, King Edward 7th and of course little Bush's grand-daddy as well as the patriarch of the Kennedy crew.
His main focus was against the Federal Reserve, Roosevelt's New Deal, non Catholics, Jewish influence in American life and Communisim. Drew huge crowds until Sunday December 7th 1941.
Adios amigos.
