Yes indeedie. Prescot Bush was actually forbidden, by the US Gov't to
continue backing Hitler, after he had done so for years.


This is baloney, as Todd has pointed out. Perhaps you're confusing
him with JFK's father, Joseph Kennedy, who really *was* a Nazi
sympathizer and supporter.


And it's a non-issue either way. Many of the elite back then were so
terrified of communism that they backed fascism as an alternative.


Larry,
Not so with Joe. He was quite the anti-semite and a neo-elitist (new term
for lace curtain Irish in Boston). Charles Lindburgh was also a great
admirerer of the Third Reich, but more because of their advances in
aviation than ideology (my opinion).
