6 degrees if seperation of the Bush family.

[Tim4319]

I find it very ironic how freely the Republican party often make comparisons of Democrats to Hitler and bin Laden. It is strange how, arguably the most hated people in world history have direct ties to the Bush family, and you don't hear a peep about it. I believe they should have to address these connections.

For example:

<<snip>>
The former president, the father of President Bush, worked for the bin Laden family business in Saudi Arabia through the Carlyle Group, meeting with them at least twice. The terrorist leader Osama bin Laden had supposedly been “disowned” by his family, which runs a multi-billion dollar business in Saudi Arabia and was a major investor in the senior Bush’s firm. Other reports have stated his Saudi family have not truly cut off Osama bin Laden. -- http://www.judicialwatch.org/1685.shtml


<<snip>>
"Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, and Prescott's father-in-law, George Herbert Walker, helped finance the rise of the Nazi Party through their intimate entanglements with Nazi industrial, shipping and banking interests. This long (and well-documented) collaboration continued even after America was at war with Nazi Germany. It seems the blood money was just too good to pass up--even if it had to be dug out of the corpses of young American soldiers and innocent civilians throughout Europe and North Africa. -- http://www.afrocubaweb.com/bushnazis.htm

These are two glaring examples. There are many more that I've come across.

2. I have seen this on the internet for years

but never in the "real" media. What happened to the news?
They were all over the Clintons for various "scandals" created out of nothing, but there is documented fact about Bush's family ties that are never mentioned.

I don't get it.
