No one really knows who originated that quote but it sure was prophetic.

@badminton The quote has been attributed to S.L., but doesn't seem to actually be his. Here are some related S.L. quotes from Politifact
[quote]In "It Can’t Happen Here," he writes: "But he saw too that in America the struggle was befogged by the fact that the worst fascists were they who disowned the word ‘fascism’ and preached enslavement to capitalism under the style of constitutional and traditional Native American liberty."
In "Gideon Planish," he writes: "I just wish people wouldn’t quote Lincoln or the Bible, or hang out the flag or the cross, to cover up something that belongs more to the bank-book and the three golden balls."[/quote]
