Wrong Roosevelt, Einstain

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

wee: Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Your on a roll!!!!

This was the same time when the Zulu nation burned down the white house, right?

headline fail. but that is a damn good read. i had no idea about a lot of that.

It was a tenuous reign for the Bull Moose Coalition in the 1940's. They almost backed the Nazis since doing so would have ensured the support of the Vikings and their strategically placed fleets off the coast of Australia.

Fortunately, our Mongolian allies and their nuclear weapons carried the day.

Duke sucks

Well, it wouldn't be too hard to think of someone like Teddy Roosevelt in a Nazi uniform. He had that over the top kind of strength over brains personality that German seem to appreciate. Not him exactly, but the same kind of gung-ho macho attitude.

If he had been German, his superior mustache and general robustness would have given him more charisma than hitler and his stolen Chaplin 'stache. Hitler never even made a speech after getting shot.

Unfortunately for Subby, not only was Teddy Roosevelt no longer president at that time, but he was also long dead. Also, that wasn't just any duke, it was the former King Edward VIII of England, who abdicated so that he could marry a previously-married woman, just like Prince Charles will. And people have known for a while that Edward VIII was a Nazi sympathizer.

Is this when Napolean's Army bombed Seattle Harbor?

Teddy was freakin' dead by 1940.

Bored Horde: Duke sucks

The Simpson slut saved the world when she got that idiot off the BE throne.

'Hark, the herald angels sing,
Mrs. Simpson pinched our king.'

Actually this is old history, but it's nice that Fark occasionally educates the young how close they came to speaking German, Japanese, or both.

Ask the current right-wing echo chamber what they think of Teddy Roosevelt, and their mangling of history won't be far off.

One name in response:

Henry Ford (new window)

Errr....where in the article did "nearly convince" happen, subby? As far as I - and the article - can tell, it was rebuffed outright...

Next, we see FOX news report on Prescott Bush[D] and his real support for the Nazis?

Neat trick, since Teddy was dead before 1920. That would have been awesome, though--the Rough Riders taking Berlin.

You know who else...? oh, wait...

The stupid is strong in this thread.

Are the moderators on strike?

Submitter Fail

Dude Subby, I almost pissed my pants when I saw this headline!

You must have gotten this question wrong on your 8th grade history test.

Who was the President of the United States at the beginning of World War II?

A) W.H. Harrison
B) Teddy Roosevelt
C) Taft
D) Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)
E) Your Mom

Wow Subby. Way to not read the Article.

/Waaaaaaay.
//Thank you for the informative article though, no matter how wrong the headline was.

Silly you. You forgot to mention how Mexico helped us fight off the Lutheran terrorists in the 1930s.

I speak Japanese.

I laughed harder at that than I probably should have.

Paris1127: Unfortunately for Subby, not only was Teddy Roosevelt no longer president at that time, but he was also long dead.

Hey - maybe you're thinking of the WRONG HITLER!!

But was he a kick ass duke?

I speak Japanese.

I speak Orboth, an ancient dialect, but lovely nonetheless

The stupid is so strong it hurts to pee.

The Unlikely Tag was made for headlines like this!

He said Nazis, though, and there were only one of them. One party of them. One group of Nazis. There was only one Nazi party. I think that's right.

Jeebus, you Farkers had to go ahead and mention the War.

DarthLamont: Submitter Fail

Except that it was Franklin and not Teddy, the article is basically right.

Edward VII was a Nazi sympathizer, spoke fluent German, and was a German himself; the who
le Royal family of England is German by hertitage.

However you have to remember: By 1940 Hitler had not done his worst work, this would not come until the closing years of the war.

He had in fact rebuilt Germany from the ground up, and attracted a lot of acclaim for his accomplishments.

If he had died in 1940, he would have gone down in history as the greatest German ever to live.

Teddy Roosevelt was president before World War One.
He was dead before World War Two.
Subby fails at history.

/Slash-o-rific!

Please, for the love of god. Tell me, please, that's a joke I didn't get in the headline. How many people have to be that ignorant for this to make it to the main page?

You guys are way off. It's not the wrong Roosevelt or the wrong Hitler. It was that wrong war. The Duke of Earl almost swayed Teddy Roosevelt into supporting Hitler during Vietnam.

Man if the Germans had won, just think about what would've happened... millions upon millions of that exact same all-weather coat on at least two continents.

Teddy would have been a terrible Nazi with that whole supporting equal rights for minorities thing. And the women voting thing. And the well reasoned, generally nice guy thing. Also the man was a a genius, a well known author, nationally known ornithologist, and spoke several languages.

Holy Christ on a farking stick! Did you injure yourself doing that double-backflip-dismount fail trying to tie this bad submit to a political ideology?

You are so completely full of stupid, we as a FARK community are all worse off for it. I mean orphaned children, blind, poor and bereft of hope look at your posts and say, "at least I'm not that farking idiot"

Seriously, I think you've shortened my life a little.

Be a little less of a partisan tool in your next thread, okay?

Any truth to the rumor Simpson was the BJ queen of China?

When did Michelle Bachmann become a submitter?

F) A, B, C, and D all banged Subbies mom. But the Duke of Windsor is the one that knocked her up.

I hope there was only one Nazi party, and only one Hitler too for that matter...

Godwined in the boobies!

wee: Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

I had the exact same thought. I hate you for that and can't figure out why.

Not untrue. Hitler was a good manager, who as they say reached his level of incompetence as a leader of government.

That's really why he abdicated, or rather was told to.

Mrs Simpson was a convenint excuse. Please, the king could do what he liked in that respect, royalty always did.
