Care to explain why this is 'idiotic'?
FDR demanded a communist as his second vice-president....or he threatened not to run.
It is a fact, as are all of my posts.
Care to bet on it?
It is not a fact that Wallace was a communist. It is an opinion that Wallace was overly sympathetic and influenced by his Russian wife and friends. That is far different that an outright allegation that the WWII American VP was an actual communist.
No doubt you have a pre-designed cut and paste to continue this misinformation campaign of yours. That is how you will escape and deflect from the endless trashing you have already taken today. It's called changing the subject. So go ahead, tell us about our communist VP during WWII.

Don't, your hands hurt from holding on by a thread????
1. Henry Wallace, 1940-1944. “America’s main enemy was Churchill and the British Empire.” He insisted that peace would be assured
“if the United States guaranteed Stalin control of Eastern Europe.”
(Ronad Radosh, “Progressively Worse,”
The New Republic, June 12, 2000)
2. When Stalin seized Czechoslovakia,
Wallace sided with Stalin. When Stalin blockaded Berlin, Wallace opposed the Berlin Airlift. After visiting a Soviet slave camp, Wallace enthusiastically described it a s a “combination TVA and Hudson Bay Company.” Ibid,
3. In 1948, at the apex of Moscow-directed subversion of US politics,
FDR’s VP Henry Wallace, former Sec’y of Agriculture, to form the Communist-dominated and Soviet-backed “Progressive Party.” Of course, Wallace’s “Progressives” allowed not even the most peripheral criticism of Soviet aggression. (John Patrick Diggins, “Good Intentions,”
The National Interest, Fall, 2000)
The progressives received one million votes.
The Communist Party USA did not field a presidential candidate, and instead endorsed Wallace for President. (

4.
Wallace met personally with KGB agents. (Allen Weinstein and Alexander Vassiliev,
Haunted Woods, p. 119)
5. “…several prominent journalists, including
H.L. Mencken and
Dorothy Thompson, publicly charged that
Wallace and the Progressives were under the covert control of Communists. Wallace was endorsed by the Communist Party (USA), and his subsequent refusal to publicly disavow any Communist support cost him the backing of many anti-Communist liberals and socialists…” (
Henry A. Wallace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
6. In his diary, Wallace, whose view of the future of
America required Soviet-style Communism, wrote that FDR had assured him that he was a few years ahead of his time, but that his vision for American would “inevitably come.” (John Patrick Diggins, “Good Intentions,”
The National Interest, Fall, 2000)
He walked like a duck, quacked like a duck.....he was a communist.
And....based on his overt actions.....
...what does that say about Comrade Roosevelt?
And about you.
