Apparently Henry Ford was a Jew hater.  He published articles in a paper he owned repeatedly slamming Jews.  Even Hitler and the Nazi's admired him.  It is said that when he learned of the atrocities committed by the Nazi's against the Jews he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and later died.  

He was indeed, it was not uncommon back then in the US.  Joseph Kennedy was a Hitler admirer as was Lindbergh, at least early on.  That doesn't mean they hated Jews, but they likely weren't fond of them.

I've known quite a few Jews in businesss and as neighbors.  Most of them, nearly all, were not "Observant" but were still Jewish.  I never had any issue with any of them.  I never really got the antisemitism thing.

Re Lindbergh:
I could be wrong, but I don't think that Lindbergh's reason for wanting America NOT to oppose the Germans was antisemitic. 

I think it was simply that Lindbergh, as a cutting-edge aviator, was impressed with German technology, didn't understand the difference between tactical advantages and strategic advantages, and thought the Germans were going to win. Ie, he didn't want his country to get enmeshed with a losing cause.

I agree, Lindberg did visit Germany several times.  But he was "hosted" by Goering et al. and no doubt shown the nice things.  It was a recruiting trip.

I suspect some of us here would have admired Germany up to a point, they did some apparently admirable stuff, at first.  The downside was of course not publicized.

I give a lot of credit to William Shirer, a reporter over there, who tried to "tell us".  He later wrote an excellent book, which is a bit long, but worth reading.

Mrs O'Leary was a scape goat - from what I read

Although argon is abundant in the Earth’s atmosphere, it evaded discovery until 1894 when Lord Rayleigh and William Ramsay first separated it from liquid air. In fact the gas had been isolated in 1785 by Henry Cavendish who had noted that about 1% of air would not react even under the most extreme conditions. That 1% was argon.

Ramsay removed all the nitrogen from the gas he had extracted from air, and did this by reacting it with hot magnesium, forming the solid magnesium nitride. He was then left with a gas that would not react and when he examined its spectrum he saw new groups of red and green lines, confirming that it was a new element.
