Muy dumb question: Are the two Turnipseeds related? As a Columbia native I have been tortured with Tom T.'s smarmy drawl on local radio for decades. Fortunately, his show is cancelled with a metronome-like regularity, which he always blames on the local right-wing conspiracy. What must his brother (if it's so) think?

From your link:
Eric Alterman on MSNBC.com, October 31, 2000 He was cleared to attend weekend drills in October and November. But two of the 187thâ??s officers said Bush never appeared. One of them, retired Brig. Gen. William Turnipseed, says he is â??dead-certain he didnâ??t show up.â? Bush, who refuses all interviews on the subject, says he was there, but canâ??t remember anything he did. His campaign can find no records to corroborate this.

And the media are still doing it four years later. They should be ashamed--but they have no shame. They have only their agendaThe leftist media didn't have the internet to contend with four years ago like it is today. Let's hope the truth will finally come out to the masses.
To: Hon
No, That that information is not required on the NGB Form 22. That information would have been documented on AF Form 40, NGB Form 105, or a certified copy of Special Orders /Travel Orders during that period of time.
In my opinion, the one document that can solve this matter, one way or the other, is the AF Form 526, ANG/USAFR POINT CREDIT SUMMARY. All ANG and AF Reserve personnel receive a copy of print out once a year, every year. It is a summary of all types of training and dates performed. It is detailed for the last year. i.e each date of Annual Training Training, UTA,EQT,ECI points, etc.

Thank you for debunking this one here on GWB.
What do you make of the allegations that Prescott Bush traded with Nazi Germany that are also out there on the web?

Give the leftist media time to catch up and....they will STILL be scratching their heads in confusion.

To: Hon
Now we just have to debunk the other 9,999,999 things the Dems said.
Maybe it's easier to find the truths?

Further up the thread is a link to some of the original reporting on this story, which includes a copy of the first Boston Globe story:
http://awol.gq.nu/AWOL_Globe%20series.htm The reporter was Walter V. Robinson.

"What do you make of the allegations that Prescott Bush traded with Nazi Germany that are also out there on the web?"
I've actually posted about that several times here. For example on this thread:
http://209.157.64.200/focus/f-news/1064618/posts LaRouche Sets Frightening Example in Campaign
The Yale Daily News ^ | January 15, 2004 | Boris Volodarsky
To: quidnunc
"LaRouche does a lot of his conspiracy-mongering in Europe, and is involved with right-wing Euro extremists who are contributing to the rise of anti-Semitism on the continent."
LaRouche is the person behind the story about W's grandfather, Prescott Bush "financing Hitler".
The first book to bring up this fantasy was written by two of his employees.

"Why do you think Prescott Bush and his bank were sanctioned by the US gov't?"
Neither Bush nor Union bank were sanctioned. The Union bank stocks were seized. They were registered in the name of its seven directors. Bush had ONE share. (Democrat eminent gris) Averell Harriman had 3,991 shares.
The stocks were seized in 1942 by the Alien Property Custodian office because the Union Banking was owned by a Dutch bank which was "closely affiliated" with the German conglomerate United Steel Works--which was owned by Thyssen.
Harriman and Bush were partners in Brown, Harriman and Co., which handled the financial transactions of for Union Bank.
Fritz Thyssen had broken with the Nazis in 1938. He was arrested by the Nazis in 1941 and spent the next four years in Nazi concentration camp.
None of the seven directors were prosecuted. These kind of seizures were carried out against literally scores (even hundreds) of US companies.
The same thing would happen if we went to war with China or say Japan tomorrow.

BTW, just a fun bit of trivia--the current Mrs. John Kerry Heinz met her first husband, H. John Heinz III while he was WORKING for UNION BANK in Switzerland.
http://www.library.cmu.edu/Research/Archives/Heinz/HJH_Bio.html So Kerry is currently living off of NAZI MONEY if this Nazi connection to Union Bank claim is true.
