Friends of Democracy under fire for tax exempt smear tactics
Westbrook Pegler discusses the Friends of Democracy founded in 1937 by L. M. Birkhead in New York. He accuses the group of using tax exempt status to fund propaganda and personal attacks on John T. Flynn and other patriotic Americans while claiming to be educational rather than investigative. He cites Rex Stout and Carlson to challenge the group’s claimed educational mission and its alleged misuse of donations.
