For the record, somebody screwed up the attributions.
I left unattributed text ("Cuz W's"...) at the top of the
article.The attributions were correct, from the botom
up, until reaching that unattributed text which
was written by Mr Robatoy. Attributions need to be
read from right to left, when parsing the "" stuff,
and bottom up when parsing the foo wrote, bar wrote
stuff.
Confusing perhaps, but that's the way UseNet works.
The text attributed to yourself was indeed that you
claim below.
E.g. we agree that OP was full of crap, albeit for
different reasons.

Cuz W's grand-daddy was an active contributor to Nazi Germany.
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.

More to the point it's a non-issue because the elite from back then
are dead. Their children and grandchildren might exibit some of
their influence in some ways but ethnic bigotry or a fondness for
Nazis isn't likely to have carried over to the present generation.
