the bush-nazi connection

The Worst President in American History found his way over to israel to kiss a bunch of asses in the last country that likes us, highlighted by a speech at the knesset (their parliament). while setting the stage for world war 3, he made sure to drop some rhetoric to remind everyone that we were actually the good guys in world war 2:

"Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along," Bush said. "We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."

there are some serious problems with bush using this comparison.

first and foremost, this 'appeasement' that's been floating around is a cheap political buzzword used to justify blind aggression without political dialogue. as mr. murder previously reported, appeasement comparisons are often utilized by talking heads with no real knowledge of history. in times when our country isn't run by a spoiled, insulated, braindead, proto-fascist jesusfreak, talking to other people is normal. even republican golden calf ronald 'where am i?' reagan talked to the iranians, though it was only to give them weapons in exchange for hostages.

secondly, where do you think the bush family got all of their money? people seem to forget so quickly that bush's grandfather was far worse than a nazi appeaser. he was a nazi funder. prescott bush was directly involved in several corporations that funded the nazi rise to power. back in 2004, the guardian reported that "even after America had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the Nazis' plans and policies, he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty."

it wasn't like this was just a 'business is business' sort of thing either. recent documents unveiled by a bbc radio documentary show that prescott bush was involved in the business coup, in which several american industrialists attempted to install a fascist dictatorship in 1934.

hey israel: it might be beneficial from now on to do a little research on your powerful allied heads of state before you invite them into your home. dude's grandpa might have helped set up some concentration camps.
