In his newsest book, Greg palast offers a flattering portrait of the Louisiana governor, stating that we need someone like him now. palast says it was Long , and not FDR, who was truly responsible for the New Deal and credits him as the real founder of the modern Democratic Party.
It had always been my understanding that long, despite his brilliant oratory and populist/socilaist rhetoric, was a wannabe fascist who ran Louisiana like a dictatorship and had plans to do the same as president of the U.S.
Am I not getting the whole story here? Has histroy been revised to treat him poorly? Your thoughts?
