Wait, there’s actually a living person called Santorum, you say? As in, “The frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex?” And he’s running for President of the United States, you say?
That just seems really unlikely to me.
Reads like “Mein Kampf,” a seemingly rational analysis leading to an insane conclusion.
Sadly…In a related story:
Anniston, Alabama Police Department Has Two Hate Group Members on the Force
Another story in the growing-daily Post Racial era our SCOTUS has told us so much about…It’s a story that would have gotten much, much more attention if it hadn’t been overshadowed by Wednesday’s massacre in Charleston.
[Two cops in Anniston, Alabama, have been suspended after being outed as members of the neo-Confederate hate group the League of the South. The Southern Poverty Law Center’s Hatewatch blog identified Lt. Josh Doggrell and Lt. Wayne Brown as members of the white secessionist group Wednesday, and the city wasted little time in getting them off the street and putting them on administrative leave Wednesday afternoon.
Update: Both men have been terminated. (Undoubtedly NOT because they belonged to a white secessionist hate group and were racists, but because they got caught.) ]
How wonderful to live in an America of “Racial Transcendence,” huh?
Fox is going to sue him for plagiarism.
I am sorry to off track for a moment but you say Prescott Bush support of NSDP was debunked. Would you kindly send me references to support that?
Life in prison, no parole. Have fun stewing in your own toxic juices, you miserable, worthless sack of shit.
While I haven’t seen documentation that would prove Prescott Bush was sympathetic to the Nazi cause, recent documents reveal that the firm he worked for, Brown Brothers Harriman, acted as a US base for the German industrialist, Fritz Thyssen, who helped finance Hitler in the 1930s. Bush was also on the board of at least one of the companies that formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow Hitler’s supporters to move assets around the world.
A former federal prosecutor, a man named Loftus, has extensively researched this topic and said he believed Prescott Bush’s interests were financial, and he believed Bush knowingly aided the Nazis interests but that Bush and his ilk “…didn’t care about the Nazis any more than they cared about their investments with the Bolsheviks.”
The motive was PURE greed…naked and soulless capitalism. Sounds about right for the soulless Bushs.
Here’s a much more detailed account from The Guardian:
I was thinking the RNC has a leg up on its platform for 2016, if not in word, in spirit. It’s like a primer on the sentiments of their base, and what it reveals reaffirms broad swaths of their strategy to connect with them.
Gold’s Gym should sue him.
let alone reddit
Truly disgusting.
I was hoping it would include something about why he targeted a black church. Or even why he targeted that particular church. Did he know the pastor was a state senator so that it would be a political assassination in addition to racial terrorism? Did he know the historical role Emanuel AME Church had played? Was it just a random spot the killer figured he’d find a gathering of black people? Did he harbor a religious hatred in addition to his racial hatred? His “manifesto” explains why he targeted Charleston but doesn’t mention the specific target at all.
Google is not your friend…
It is if you stay off the conspiracy sites. I could do a google on 9/11 controlled demo, and lots of stuff saying it was a controlled demo would come up. Total BS, but it’s there.
Now, from the first link you posted (wiki):
According to journalist Joe Conason, Prescott Bush’s involvement with UBC was purely commercial and he was not a Nazi sympathizer.[9] The Anti-Defamation League[10] and historian Herbert Parmet[7] agreed with that assessment.
The “links to Nazi’s” thing is no different than the Glen Beck links to Obama being a communist, etc. I see this nonsense all the time. In fact, you could link Averell Harriman to Nazis using the absurd logic the conspiracy sites use. The bank was doing business with German businesses prior to WWII. As were thousands of people and many companies.
Here’s an article from the Economist referencing tying IBM to the holocaust. Yes, the article is factual, but it also points out that it does not mean IBM actually sympathized with the Holocaust. But the conspiracy nuts say they did. Silly nonsense.

To compare Roof, who KNOWS what the Nazis did and still approves of it, with Prescott Bush, a liberal who was appalled by what they did, is asinine.
I didn’t get very in, but when he mentions the Council of Conservative Citizens (adapted from the Council of Concerned Citizens that gave cover to the violent racist attacks on civil rights workers), I knew exactly where he was going.
@AJM - yeah, between him and Ann Coulter they might make a good 3/5ths of a man.
Seriously though, qualitatively the only difference between him and Ann is that he had to use a gun to make his evil statement. All she has to do is look at a legion of cameras to spread her infinite hate.
Correct, IBM has been tied to the Holocaust as well because of business. This does not mean they were for a Holocaust. That’s nuts.
Prescott Bush was actually a very good guy if you read up on his actual policies. But if you go on conspiracy nut sites, he was having meetings with Hitler. Glen Beck type connection stuff. Thousands of Americans were doing business with Germany while the Nazis were in power, but they had no idea what Hitler was up to. This notion that Prescott Bush backed Nazi invasions and the Holocaust is just sophomoric nonsense. Meanwhile Roof actually loves what the Nazis did.
End of topic for me. Someone tried to bait me into getting into an argument so they could flag me for going off topic. Almost took the bait…comments now deleted, they can argue with themselves. I made my point.
Prescott Bush was a Nazi Sympahizer, he was also in the KKK… All the Bush clan are war criminals and those who defend them are just plain stupid
How much does it actually matter if an entity is “for” a Holocaust if what they are doing is something which makes conducting a Holocaust easier?
There is a famous Tom Lehrer quote on the matter.
Your Economist link is a book review, not an “article,” and it spends exactly one slim paragraph discussing Edwin Black’s book about the connection between IBM and the Nazis. The depth of the reviewer’s repudiation is this one sentence: “By representing the IBMers as blinkered technocrats and wicked capitalists obsessed with profits, he dehumanises them.”
Is that really worthy of another off-topic tangent?
If they are not aware of it, it makes a big difference. After the Stock Market Crash of 1929, the US recalled their loans to Germany, causing a major recession in Germany. A great BS artist named Hitler promised prosperity. No one, including people here, knew his real agenda at the time. To say they were “Nazi Sympathizers” is nonsense equivalent to how they tie Obama to communism. Just silly. Roof on the other hand worships what the Nazi’s did.
That doesn’t explain why you would use such a skimpy little book review, a form which notoriously represents nothing more than the author’s bias, as corroboration. You need to do better than that. The fact that it’s off-topic is secondary here to the weakness of your substantiation. It truly makes you appear pointlessly argumentative.
