Haters & Baiters

John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln at the instigation of Pope Pius IX.

Baby Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. was slain by Jews who drank his blood.

Baby Lindbergh's maternal grandfather, the late Senator Dwight Whitney Morrow, also met death at the hands of Jews. They fed him arsenical spinach at a Manhattan hotel.

The 450,629 Knights of Columbus have taken a blistering oath to rip out the wombs of Protestant women, crush their children's skulls, maim and strangle their sons & husbands.

President & Mrs. Roosevelt fraternize with Negroes, advocate social equality between blacks & whites.

These and similarly alarming statements were seriously set forth in an extraordinary collection of documents exhibited last week in Manhattan by the American Jewish Congress. Billed as "The Literature of Hate," the sordid show was also endorsed by the Catholic weekly Commonweal, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. To attract the curious, the promoters inserted a notice in the New York Times:

"SEE ANTI-AMERICANS ON RAMPAGE."

Pinned on panels like poisonous flowers in a botany collection, the 1,500 clippings, letters, pamphlets, magazines and books displayed the work of various U. S. psychopaths, cranks and professional haters & baiters of Negro, Catholic and Jew.

More examples:

A manifesto distributed in the South: "Could Catholics murder Mayor Gaynor of New York and then elect a Catholic Mayor of the City? They did it!"

A proclamation of the "American Nationalist Party": "Jews have a distinctly racial program calling for the seduction of any Gentile girl, young or unprotected."

An advertisement of a book about "escaped nuns": "Convent horror . . . story of Barbara Ubrick, who for 21 years was locked in a stone dungeon 8 ft. long and 6 ft. wide because she refused to surrender her virtue to a Romish priest."

The manuscript of a Jew-baiting orator:

"Exterminate the Jews! Do unto them as you would do unto vicious rodents!"

An article in The American Forum: "The mongrel Negro race in America is rapidly approaching an awful crisis. . . . They go rollicking and cakewalking, apparently unaware of the storm that must inevitably burst. . . ."

Tragic commentary on Negro-baiting carried to one logical conclusion was the gruesome photograph, added to point the exhibit's moral, which showed the lynched and lifeless body of Negro Rubin Stacy of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., suspended from a tree around which stand neatly dressed young white children in snickering, fascinated horror.
