5. No...
...because if Hitler were hiding in "some cave" we wouldn't be calling him irrelevant and occupying a country that had nothing to do with attacking us.

7. The question is unnecessarily complicated
Let me simplify:

Question: Are you irredeemably stupid?

Answer: 44% yes, 56% no.

17. Nah, Prescott was just a bagman for Brown Brothers Harriman IIRC
Paying for Hitler's murderous enterprise, and getting remunerated generously in return. I don't think they really got a seat at the table until GHW became the head of the crime family. Then his protege was Nixon, then we had St. Ronnie the Clueless with his puppet master HW... now this ridiculous thing with somebody's hand shoved up his behind to make him talk... it just never ends. Interestingly, Harriman's wife founded the DLC. They're everywhere, can't escape. It's the attack of the Hitlers... RUN AWAY!!!!!

24. Frightening, IMHO. It's hard to know who to trust. I guess you've got to
dig through their record, and know the company they keep. It's sad.

29. Most of what I learned I got from government documents - so I can't point
you to a good off the shelf book. I can give you a few PDF links to peruse if you care to.

It wasn't just the money with Prescott (and 43 for that matter) they really did believe in the eugenics movement.

The Bush Empire

Bush Nazi Dealings

How Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power

Here's the government sanitized version of 43 and his Dad. Knowing what I know, from other government records mostly, this is both funny and really horrifying. It's a strange psychological sensation, perhaps akin to taking hallucinogenic drugs. A real trip through the looking glass.

33. Another badly worded, unscientific MSNBC pseudo-poll
MSNBC's standard for polls is to phrase the question itself and/or the possible answers in such a way that the results are absolutely meaningless.

Do I agree with Bush?

Is the struggle against Islamic fundamentalism similar to the fight against the Nazis and communists?

Similar in what way?

And similar to whose fight?

Considering the similarities between our president and Hitler/Stalin, can I still agree that Bin Laden and others are the "Hitlers and Stalins" of our time?

What if I agree with parts of all 3 answers?

It's as goofy and pointless as an episode of Seinfeld!
