"The gustiest and goriest, the deadliest and damnedest orator ever heard on this or any other earth ... the champion boob-bumper of all epochs."
--H.L. Mencken on Smith "We do not need the support of Gerald L. K. Smith and other rabble rousers who use race prejudice and class hatred to inflame the emotions of the people."
--Strom Thurmond (!) on Smith Gerald L. K. Smith was a radical minister and HueyLong's loyal lieutenant. After Long's death Smith tried to keep up the fight but in so doing became more and more anti-Semitic. Eventually he was linked to WilliamDudleyPelley, hooked up with GuyBallard (see IAm), and was involved somehow with MountShasta. Smith ended up in the Ozarks where he built a replica of the Holy Land and the second largest statue of Christ in the western hemisphere.
