Liberal "Intelligence?"

1. A politician doesn't have to be President to talk about something. FDR was a highly known politician at the time and was a presidential nominee in 1928. He was also New York's governor when the market crashed, the state which was ground-zero for the event. FDR's views were very publicized (and popular) around the country years before he ascended to the Presidency, partly why he was nominated again and won in '32.

2. Televisions were available for homes when the market crashed. Most people didn't have one yet, but politicians still recorded speeches and people would gather and watch them on common screens. So instead of believing a random image you found, a two-second Google search would show you that televisions were not "still in the laboratory" in 1929.

This. Beat me to it, you dirty muslin.

SH, you really need to do some researching before you post some stupid, biased picture you found online.

Televisions were in the homes in the late 1920's. I think the first TV station was New York in 1928(give or take 1 year). They weren't in many homes, but they were in some.

So SH, you ever envision this thread backfiring on you so badly? Way to display some conservative “intelligence."

The networks were still in the lab, you nitwits. They couldn't have broadcast anything over more than a single-digit-mile radius. Moviehouse newsreels aren't exactly the same thing. And you guys fully know that a senator or a governor spouting off on something doesn't have the same effect as a POTUS doing so. Roosevelt wouldn't have had all that big an audience prior to his inauguration.

Egad....

Going by your logic, we don't have televisions because labs still research them. Also, it was possible to send a signal from NY to L.A.

Read the article at the bottom, "WGY (from NY) sent it's program and was recieved in LA".


Beside, that picture just said FDR, it didn't say President Roosevelt. So the backlash on how stupid the comment is, isn't exactly justified.

Ah good ole’ SH…never knowing when to put the shovel down.

Yah. He was just an obscure governor of the most populous state.


Governor of New York when the New York Stock Exchange crashed.

EGAD.

This is what I had in mind but was too lazy to look for it.

Get with the program Google nerds. He most certainly meant FDR in his presidential capacities. Go ahead and Google when the first time a president appeared on TV. You all owe SH an apology.

I realize Biden meant President Roosevelt. It's shit like this that polarizes the country. Don't say something stupid and then when you fact check it, report facts that aren't exactly accurate.

I can't tell if you're talking about Biden or SH.

Both. That comment goes for everyone, myself included.
