In columns that grew steadily more vitriolic, he referred to Roosevelt as a "feebleminded fuehrer," Eleanor as "La Boca Grande." He reserved his choicest venom for Harry Truman: "thin-lipped, a hater and not above offering you his hand to yank you off balance and work you over with a chair leg, pool cue or something out of his pocket." After the assassination attempt on Truman in 1950, Pegler berated "hypocrites" for getting excited. "I hope this will be a lesson...
