Prescott Bush was neither a Nazi nor a Nazi sympathizer.

[Douglas Carpenter]

91. what we see is the same sort of conspiracy theorist logic that proclaims Barack Hussein Obama

is both a Marxist and a Muslim. Basically one starts from the premise that they don't like the person and assumes the absolute worse about them and any of their associations. In the world that Barack Obama grew up in and in the world of members of his immediate and extended family - what are the possibilities that he would have been around any number of Muslims and Marxist including some people who went on to believe in political Islam or support Marxist political movements? About as likely as anyone raised and deeply involved in the Irish American community would be exposed to Noraid/Sinn Fein/IRA supporters and sympathizers - in other words about 100% - Someone working at the pinnacle of New York international industrial investment in the 1920's and the 1930's - what are the possibility that they would have some business dealings with German Industrialist? What are the possibilities that some of those German Industrialist would have at least some business connections with the German Nazi movement?

But its is very hard to argue with conspiracy theorist because connections can always found. And if someone doesn't like the person to begin with and are looking for nasty things to believe about them - it is easy enough to do. George Herbert Walker Bush did more to degrade and debase American domestic politics more than just about anyone else in living memory. His idiot son went on to cause more harm to America than almost anyone else I can ever think of in all our history. But were the Bush's Nazis, Nazi sympathizers or Nazi collaborators? Only in the sense and probably less so than the Harriman's and the Kennedy's. Which means no - that statement is simply not looking at history fairly or realistically.
