McCain Agrees With bu$h’s Remarks on Obama/Nazis

[spanone]

Senator John McCain, who has been critical of President Bush on the environment and other policies this week, on Thursday morning wholeheartedly endorsed Mr. Bush’s veiled rebuke in the Israeli Knesset on Senator Barack Obama that talking to “terrorists and radicals'’ was no different than appeasing Hitler and the Nazis.

1. I wish to hell some journalist with a backbone would point out Prescott Bush's history

[davekriss]

11. I was going to point that out on another thread

This, from Clan Dyken's No More Silence (a rap about mid-song), which can be downloaded and listened to from here (I highly recommend):

...And then junior Georgie bowed his head and prayed for the Jewish souls that were lost
He said that we should never ever forget about the Nazi Holocaust
He said that guys like Hitler shouldn't get no more chances
I bet he hopes nobody checks into his Granddaddy's finances
You see making profit off of war is in the family
Prescott Bush in World War 2 was in thick with the Nazis
Using polish slaves from Auschwitz to make the Third Reich's steel
To make the guns and bombs and bullets the American boys would feel
Money money was made hand over fist
Bush was doing business with the fascists
Money money was made where did it go?
It's in the family coffers and it still does flow
Like the blood that was spilt from the people who were killed
And the voices of injustice that will never be stilled
Echoing down through history 'til it's in your living room
If the rat gets away with the cheese he's coming back real soon
We can talk and talk all day it really doesn't matter
What matters is the future and what they got on the platter
Exporting more fear and repression and high tech violence
We need some answers we need some justice
We need no more secrets and we need
No more silence
No more silence
No more silence
No more silence

20. That, my friend, is a very good point.

They haven't made the connection yet.

Edit: I just now put this together and emailed it out.

Bush’s Remarks in Israel Rile Obama

According to an advance text and now televised excerpts, Mr. Bush criticized — without mentioning anyone by name — suggestions for using diplomacy to deal with rogue nations. He specifically cited Iran:

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.

“We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is – the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

McCain Agrees With Bush’s Remarks on Appeasement

Senator John McCain, who has been critical of President Bush on the environment and other policies this week, on Thursday morning wholeheartedly endorsed Mr. Bush’s veiled rebuke in the Israeli Knesset on Senator Barack Obama that talking to “terrorists and radicals'’ was no different than appeasing Hitler and the Nazis.

“Yes, there have been appeasers in the past, and the president is exactly right, and one of them is Neville Chamberlain,'’ Mr. McCain told reporters on his campaign bus after a speech in Columbus, Ohio. “I believe that it’s not an accident that our hostages came home from Iran when President Reagan was president of the United States. He didn’t sit down in a negotiation with the religious extremists in Iran, he made it very clear that those hostages were coming home.'’

The Origins of the Bush Regime in Hitler's Third Reich

On Oct. 20, 1942, the US government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City which were being conducted by Prescott Bush. Some ten months after the US had entered WWII, as America prepared a first assault against the Nazi military machine, Prescott Bush, George W. Bush’s Grandfather, was managing partner of Brown Brothers Harriman. His 18-year-old son George H. W. Bush, the future US President, had just begun training to become a naval pilot.

US forces landed under fire near Algiers on Nov. 8, 1942; heavy combat raged throughout November. Nazi interests in the Silesian-American Corporation, long managed by Prescott Bush and his father-in-law George Herbert Walker, were seized under the Trading with the Enemy Act on Nov. 17, 1942. In this action, the government announced that it was seizing only the Nazi interests, leaving the Nazis' US partners to carry on the business.

These and other actions taken by the US government in wartime were, tragically, too little and too late. President Bush's family had already played a central role in financing and arming Adolf Hitler for his takeover of Germany; in financing and managing the buildup of Nazi war industries for the conquest of Europe and war against the USA.; and in the development of Nazi genocide theories and racial propaganda, with their well-known results.

It was good to see for a change.

9. And, that from Ahmed Chalabi's oldest American friend.

If he wants to take the gloves off, that's fine with us.

As much as anyone else, John McCain is the guy behind the Iraq WMD fraud. Now, he wants us to get us nto another disastrous war in the Middle East. McCain is a security risk. See, http://journals.democraticunderground.com/leveymg/360

[AngryOldDem]

10. Not surprising, is it?

And did he break out into a chorus of "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran"?

The joke is, he expects things to be totally wrapped up and under control by 2013.

13. Someone should have told Insane McCain that Bush is backpedaling from this.

[Lasher]

22. Check this out from the linked article

“Yes, there have been appeasers in the past, and the president is exactly right, and one of them is Neville Chamberlain,'’ Mr. McCain told reporters on his campaign bus after a speech in Columbus, Ohio. “I believe that it’s not an accident that our hostages came home from Iran when President Reagan was president of the United States. He didn’t sit down in a negotiation with the religious extremists in Iran, he made it very clear that those hostages were coming home.'’

In 1980, Saint Ronnie sent George H. W. Bush to arrange a deal with the Iranians to keep the hostages until after the November elections. We knew about this at the time, because the president of Iran told the world about it shortly after he went into exile.

The hostages were formally released into United States custody on January 20, 1981, just minutes after Saint Ronnie was sworn in.
