Remind me again... did Barack Obama's grandfather plan a fascist coup against the US government?

2. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Repugs allege it.

17. But do you reject and denounce yourself?
That's the going rate for an apology these days. :rofl:

24. One final apology hurdle
You must give up horse riding just like George Bush gave up golf, to show solidarity with your repentance.

*psst* Bush never really gave up golf, so I guess you can keep on riding. :patriot:

26. I can't ride just right now for health reasons so I'll give it up until the general election
and I'll just train my horse from the ground until Senator Obama is elected in November! ;)

3. No! No he didn't. That was Bush's grandfather Sen. Prescott Bush.

in other words, no.

8. FDR's biggest mistake wasn't Yalta, it turns out.
It was letting the fascist scumbags involved in "the business plot" off the hook. Talk about blowback.

12. You are correct...
We wouldn't have had Nixon, the Kennedys may have survived, no Bush 1, no Bush 2, Cheney and Rumsfeld, while they wouldn't have been eliminated, it's not clear if they would have been in politics...

20. Unquestionably. The grandson realizes his grandfather's fascist dreams.
Almost all of them.

And if McBush ascends the throne or if Obama is Clintonesque (circa 1993) and does what FDR did, burying prosecution "for the good of the country", then we are merely marking time until Emperor Jeb and/or George P. Bushler pick up right where their evil family left off.

was endowed by Nazi blood money.

10. I used this opportunity
to post a 'topic' on our local newspaper's comment section. I used 2 links, one from Fox, just cause:
Prescott Bush was "key liaison" w/Nazis in 1934 "Plot Against America"
http://www.topix.net/forum/source/alamogordo-daily-news/T7JUOIN848KQMFBOR
Sort of feeling adolescent and petty, but I have to let that part of me operate once in a while and today it just felt like it was the right thing to do.

18. It's a good thing to try
but from the follow-up comments, it looks like you're up against some hard-core Bush supporters who will hear no wrong against their FuhrerLeader. Still, just having it there may make some neutrals think again about what 'appeasement' in 1930s America was, and who was doing it.

13. Standard Oil (Exxon/Mobile) and General Motors gave them the blitzkrieg
The Nazis couldn't have had their Panzer division without them
nor the ability to fight a blitzkrieg.

The bush Crime Family and their corporate partners made the Nazi War Machine possible.

19. The far far FAR greater majority don't need to be told.
How do you think we have ended up with a media which more appropriately belongs in Putin's Russia or Bushie China (our Sister Nations with near-identical forms of government and media to us, now)?

Think about it: In most other nations, to get the level of toadying one sees in Imperial Amerikan Media, beatings, disappearances, torture and murder of journalists, to say the least.

I have said it before and I will say it again: The current generations of Amerikans alive today are far closer in mentality to the Germans who stood by and/or helped Hitler vault to power than we are the generation of Free Americans who rose up to help defeat Hitler.

Oddly enough, this Nazi business illustrates how similar we are to the people who made it possibel for the nazis to gain power.

You know as well as I do that Prescott Bush and the 1934 Fascist Coup Attempt or even HW Bush getting busted during the 1988 with Nazi "ethnic outreach" staffers will never never NEVER NEVER be discussed on Cable TV Infoganda. Maybe Olbermann will (one of the few actual journalists still left in this blighted, totalitarian nation), but even then I severely doubt it.

16. Examine Bush's Nazi ties? Not even Democrats will capitalize on it. Because Dems are doormats.
I howled about this in 2000, and I was labelled "Tinfoil."

How is it possible that Bush had any chance whatsoever in getting close to the GOP nomination in 2000?

It was only possible because Democrats are doormats -- and worse than doormats.

21. It won't.
Edited on Fri May-16-08 06:56 AM by TheWatcher
Like another poster said earlier tonight, they are going to get away with everything they have ever done, free and clear.

I wish it were not so, but apparently, it is.

And in 8 to 12 years, they will be back.

And they will probably finish the job.

29. Me, too, j. It's the perfect cue for a segue into their sordid past that many people don't
know much about.

It's too late for this generation, but let's ensure that no Bush ever holds elective office in this country again.
