To talk or not to talk, that is the question. (EDIT:spelling)

[ColbertWatcher]

On another thread (here) the question came up whether a conversation should be held about the Bush family's (specifically Prescott Bush's) "connections" to the Nazis.

I feel it is important to have this conversation.

First, a few questions to set the stage...

What should the word Nazi mean? A member of the Nazi party, a leader in the Nazi party or the German government/nation during the Nazi era?

What should define a "connection"? Card-carrying membership in the German Nazi party under Hitler, a casual business relationship or a friend of a friend type of thing?

Is any relationship negated because someone else had closer ties? Joe Kennedy comes to mind.

Please explain if you feel whether this conversation is important enough to have, then clarify how you define "Nazi" and "connection" and what your feelings are about any American doing business with the Nazis during that era (before, during, after the war).

Thank you for participating and keeping this kicked and recommended so we can understand everyone's point of view about this topic.
