Isn't it ironic that Bush mentioned the Nazis? Bush's family fortune was built by trading with the nazis.

-

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.
The Guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

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.

The debate over Prescott Bush's behaviour has been bubbling under the surface for some time. There has been a steady internet chatter about the "Bush/Nazi" connection, much of it inaccurate and unfair. But the new documents, many of which were only declassified last year, show 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.

Welcome to the Big Leagues, Mr. Obama.

Finally we're talking about real issues, instead of thinly veiled smears-by-association. And like the gax tax, Obama's argument should be easy because it's correct.

I hope Obama will open his pushback remarks by noting that perhaps Bush would benefit from having a dictionary, since talking to someone isn't "appeasement".

Chris, Chris, this is about appeasement, Chris, no, no, Chris, Obama wants appeasement, because this is just like - Chris, wait, no, appeasement!

One thing I like about this whole thing with Bush, McCain and Obama is it places McCain and Bush squarely on the same side, arguing the same bogus point, and completely cementing in people's minds that Bush and McCain are together. They are on the same team. The are the same.

That is good for the election. Thank you Bush and McCain.

This is a great opening for Obama. Not just for smacking down the idiot in chief, but to tie McCain to him.

This is where he's really going to shine.

And what the video of McCain saying we need to talk to Hamas if we're ever going to solve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict made me realize is that everything McCain uses to try and attack Obama probably has a video like this to ram down his throat.

And, Obama doesn't have one hand tied behind his back like he did with Clinton.

This is going to be fun.

It's also a good oppurtunity, an occassion to begin uniting democratic party.

Bush propels like no one.

I bet the good people of Watertown, South Dakota will love being in the spotlight today! If there's ever any question about the American empire, consider how the campaign stretches from a South Dakota town meeting to the Israeli Knesset.

McCain Of The Panderosa.

More War Years! More War Years! More War Years!

A vote for The Maverick Of The Panderosa, is like a Vote for the Cowboy from Crawford that rounded him up and branded him.

More War Years! More War Years! More War Years!

well, once in law school I brought my pet monkey Thurgood with me to class, but I dressed him up in a little suit and tie. It was really cute : )
anyway, that same day famous Critical Race Studies "scholar" Derrick Bell was visiting the school. So about two dozen people come up and say "welcome Professor Bell." And when Thurgood would start jabbering away, it would take about two to three minutes before people realized, hey! That's not Derrick Bell, that a monkey in a suit!

We Iranians, as other Middle Easterns, are really worried of the continuation of war if Sen. Mc Cain gets elected. I have made a short clip about your presidential race from the perspective of an Iranian. Take a look and promote:

Oh my.

I still don't understand the ham-fisted response by the Democrats on this. Bush says "appeasement is bad" and the Dems scream and yell that it's an attack on them.

If you're not an appeaser, why would you claim it's an attack on you? Why be in such a hurry to get that label associated with you by making a big deal out of it? I think their reaction to this has been really idiotic. Now when people mention appeasement they'll think of Obama.

If Bush had said "Serial murderers are bad" would Obama have released a statement saying "I reject this attack on me"? Of course not, because he's not a serial murderer. So why for the love of Pete would he respond to a speech about appeasers by denouncing it as an attack on him?

Democrats need to be a lot more careful about how they frame the argument. This was not a good day for them.

And ol' Shrub has to be loving this.

Raw meat to the audience in Israel, which wouldn't exist as a nation if the Nazis hadn't tried to exterminate all Jews in their war of world domination.
Bush said it in his typical straw-man attack. "Some say..."
Maybe he thinks it gives him plausible deniability when the obvious target calls him out on it.
Bush is the ultimate straw man. Stuffed with flammable material, no brain.
