Comparing Rush and Tucker to Charles Lindbergh. You have to be fricking insane to think they are remotely comparable.
Try reading again, I said Father Coughlin, and yes, Coughlin very much was the Rush Limbaugh of his era.
A firebrand conservative populist preacher that was far and away the most popular voice on radio, consisting mostly of an audience of small town and rural followers. And yes, he spent years defending Nazi violence against the Jews and deviants as he saw them thru the lens they did.
Frankly, you would have been the type that would have been right there cheering on his vile hatred.
But as is with most history, there is not one or two causations. Plenty of xenophobia and crippling isolationism that turned a blind eye to atrocity on both sides. However, it was FDR that wanted to intervene sooner but was politically hamstrung by his political opposition and some in his party.

Given I’m a soft Zionist and big supporter of Israel, I seriously doubt it.

Not sure how you, or anyone could compare Coughlin with Limbaugh.
One was a liberal anti semite and the other was a conservative pro Israeli backer.
They both had radio shows. That's where the comparison ends.

Coughlin was a huge supporter of FDR and called the New Deal “Christ’s Deal”. You are a fricking sub-moron.
