the bush's have been, and still are, up to their beady eyeballs with nazis and nazi sympathizers.

I took another poster's advice and googled "Prescott Bush" Nazi and the number 1 result returned was How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power. I would suggest that this article is less proof of Prescott Bush being a nazi-sympathizer and more an indictment of capitalism. I would also suggest that whether or not his father has some culpability in the rise of Hitler, is irrelevant to whether or not George H.W. Bush is a Nazi.

Yes, even today they are alive and running a frightening number of the so-called conservative foundations and think tanks in this country as well as the rest of the world.

I agree with this statement. I give to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has documented right-wing organizations that push ideas could be described as Nazi. That being said, I don't believe in guilt by association. A neo-con think tank espousing nazi ideas doesn't make all Republicans nazis any more than a liberal think tank espousing communist ideas makes all Democrats communists.

So even though he did serve(a tradition not continued by his progeny) he is still a nazi.

I would suggest that calling everyone with whom you disagree (and with whom I share your disagreement) only serves to dilute the word, and hurt our crediblity.
