Embarrassing grandfather...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/se ... ndworldwar

Article about Prescott Bush, grandfather of G.W. Bush, and banker of Adolf Hitler..

I would hold a bit of shame if one of my ancestors was such a collabo[t]ra[i]tor. No wonder why Bush was that unpopular. Just a matter of ancestors.

Re: Embarrassing grandfather...

i hate Bush as much as the next guy but blaming it on his Grandfather is silly. Mostly because it draws attention from the screwed up things he's done himself.
Indu and proud of it!!

Pops, this is silly. Kennedy's grandfather was a bootlegger, and yet a lot of people adore Kennedy.

Example nullified.

Banker of hitler is not the same. It's funding the ENEMY. I'd call it TREASON.

Funding the enemy, breaking federal laws. Not the same, but...

Wow, this has got to be the stupidest post ever. This has nothing to do with anything, even if it was true, which I doubt very much it is.

I wish the people who hate Bush would give me a reason why. I always love a good debate. :D

It's interesting.. but it doesn't mean anything. Not if you don't believe in original sin, anyway.

Stupidest post ever if you like I'll link you to some.

And well it's big enough to be mentionned! I couldnt care less let's say if he was in black market during prohibition...but that is totally different.

Of course it is important. Money funds the war. If you support your enemy by money, it's betraying to your country!
