THE BUSH NAZI CONNECTION
Richard Draheim is a policy analyst and speaker. He appears on the Dallas political affairs TV magazine America Outside the Beltway as a panelist and is a featured columnist for The Dallas Libertarian Post.
Oh, Prescott also said that the word going around Heaven that Arafat died and went straight to hell.

By this rationale, the Jews are just as responsible for the rise of Hitler since many wealthy Jews invested heavily in Germany, as well.
So... let me get this straight...
GWB is controlled by powerful figures in the neo-Nazi party
- and -
GWB is controlled by powerful figures in the Jewish community (neo-Cons).
I can't keep my conspiracy theories straight now.
Hey, my dog always seems to understand.
Well...
The author makes it clear in the first para that he has no respect for facts.
Then, one could consider this: The MSM hated Dubya so much that they trumped up forged documents and withheld info about Kerry meeting with terrorists, but we're supposed to believe this Nazi story is olid and they've never reported on it. Yeah, sure.
I have to echo Cripplecreek's comment "Why bother?" This is just one more little bit of the crying and teeth gnashing we'll be hearing for the next for years.
Spend your time more wisely.
Invent a new lo-cal cheese snack.
Ask this person in casual conversation, when not talking about Bush, if they like Mercedes Benz autos or if they ever drove or liked a Volkswagen beetle bug or if they ever took a Bayer aspirin. If they answer "yes" to any of them then remind them of the bush story and call them a hypocrite.
We all own mutual funds which buy up hundreds of stocks for the protfolio, some of these companies are involved with China, South Africa, Nigeria, and other "hot spot" countries, it doesn't mean we or the fund company agree with the governments, it's just part of being a global society where our money is spread out and invested everywhere. I bet your friend owns mutual funds too.
Tell these flaming liberals to stop crying and get over the election, we won both the popular and electoral election fair and square, the people of America have spoken and that's it.
Technically, if the second part of this staement were true, it wouldn't be George Walker Bush who would have benefited monetarily. It would have been George Herbert Walker Bush, his father.
But then I suppose that this idiot believes that Prescott set up a fund to bequeath, upon his death, to GWB. Of course, that account would have been called, "All my Nazi Money".
The story line on Prescott Bush is that like a lot of Americans (see the Dem favorite Averill Harriman) they invested in German operations before the Nazi threat was known and kind of got stuck there as the political climate changed. I don't see how his grandfather's investment is worse than Joseph Kennedy's actively flacking for the Nazis once the threat was known and he was serving as our Ambassador to England, do you?
It's just a nasty bit of business to spin.
The best response to something like this is to turn quietly and walk away. Any attention you give to these loonies only creates the illusion that they have some sort of credence or solid information or credibility. They don't. Ignore it.
The Onion's a good read. Surf on, I always say.
olid=solid
And Clinton's dad was who?
A lot of the nonsense from the above excerpt is repeated by John Loftus. The more I find out about him, the more of a kook he appears to be. Why does a smart guy like John Batchelor have Loftus on his show so often?
I agree with you about the Libertarians. I went to a meeting several years ago; all they could talk about was how intrusive it was of the government that they could not smoke as much marijuana as they wanted. They're "libertines" not "libertarians." I agree with their free market stance on economics only because it's not original with the LP; they got it from great classical liberals like Ludwig von Mises.
I wouldn't worry about it. Kerry's "Forbes" ancestors were dope traders and smugglers, which allowed them to amass their great fortunes. Don't sweat it. The past is the past.
I'm sure that account was with the First Aryan Bank & Trust. (rolls eyes)
1. Fritz Thyssen was arrested an put in a concentration camp by the Nazis. He had a falling out with Hitler over... Anti-Semitism! (Thyssen was a German nationalist, not an anti-Semite.)
2. At the time Prescott Bush became a director of UBC it was not illegal to do business with the Third Reich or business based there.
3. At the time UBC was seized, Prescott Bush was not found guilty of any wrong doing. On the contrary, when UBC was seized he was paid $1.5 million (in 1942 dollars!) for his single share.
On irrelevant side, a lot of other folks made money doing business with the Reich: IBM, IT&T, Ford, GM, Standard Oil, etc. Again, what they did was not illegal. Ford and GM had plants in Germany and were compensated for bomb damage after the war...
On the illegal side, Standard Oil continued deliver oil to Spain (where it was shipped through France to Germany, well after the US went to war with Germany.
Isn't funny, though, how nobody goes after folks like Armand Hammer (a sponsor of Gore's daddy) who did business with the Commies, though?
