If someone put up a billboard of Hitler and members of the Bush family there would be some truth

[Tony_FLADEM]

to it.

After all, the Bush family did business with Hitler during WWII and they profited off the holocaust from Jewish slave labor. Don't the people who put up that Obama billboard know this?

1. The Bushes aren't black. It has nothing to do with Hitler. nt

2. Honestly the Prescott Bush crap is almost as silly... nt

[EFerrari]

3. Only if you find history silly.

5. My grandfather escaped from Singapore prison camp in WW2 and made his

way through Burma to India... and this has what to do with my personal views????

10. Did his actions generate millions (not to mention cronies) enabling your rise to power? nt

6. Maybe. But his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act

His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

The evidence has also prompted one former US Nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator's action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

7. Really? I don't think so.

Without the financing that Hitler got from investors like Brown Bros. Harriman it is doubtful that he would have been able to rise to power. Not saying that BBH and P. Bush provided all the money that helped Hitler rise to power, but they certainly provided him with several hundred thousand DM, not an insignificant amount.

There are actually several key US corporations, BBH among them, without which Hitler could not have done the damage he did. Among these are IBM and Ford. Sadly, few of these corporations paid the penalty.

8. Not "silly" in the least...AT ALL. That Nazi's SON and GRANDSON became Presidents, FGS. AS IF they

don't share some of their patriarch's views.

4. No, they don't know that. The also don't know that Hitler was a White Surpemacist...

and that Obama isn't.

9. Tea bags and republicans would not care

if Prescott Bush fought right along side Hitler. He was a Bush and they are allowed to do anything. After all remember the terrorist who flew into the Towers and the Pentagon were from Saudi Arabia. And we see pictures all over the place of Bush KISSING NO LESS AND HOLDING HANDS WITH THE PRINCE OF SAUDI ARABIA. What's worst than that.
