Nazi Apologists Outted In GHW Bush's 1988 Campaign?
Edited on Thu Jul-26-07 11:07 AM by RestoreGore
Does anyone recall this being covered in the news then? From this source it appears that it was covered in one article in the Washington Post and a few other papers and then dropped suddenly. It has been suspected for years that Nazi apologists had infiltrated the Republican Party as soon as after WW 2 and were absorbed into our CIA in order to be recruited to fight Communists in the Cold War.

And as this link from 1988 reveals it appears that Nazi apologists were part of GHW Bush's 1988 presidential campaign staff.... so why would it change for his son's? Is it too farfetched to believe that Nazi apologists still influence the policies of this regime, especially in light of their total disregard for Democracy and our Constitution? At this point, I think not. Anything that can shed any light on this would be appreciated because as Americans we deserve to know the truth about who is really running this government.

=======================================

. George Bush, anti-Semites and the Big Lie
. Chronology of a Coverup

. by Chip Berlet
. 9/1/88

. George Bush's plan for a kinder gentler America apparently
will be implemented with the help of persons who think the
Holocaust is a hoax. When the Bush campaign was revealed as
having recruited an ethnic support coalition which included
racists, fascists, anti-Semites, Nazi apologists and even aging
Nazi collaborators, it responded with a typical and ironically
appropriate damage control technique--the Big Lie. It didn't even
bother to get its story straight inside the campaign. At various
points during the controversy the Bush campaign announced:

. * It would investigate the charges.
. * It would not investigate the charges.
. * It was shocked by the charges.
. * It could not be held responsible for screening everyone.
. * It was unable to substantiate the charges.
. * The unsubstantiated charges were reckless political attacks.
. * No one would resign until the charges were substantiated.
. * The persons resigning admitted no wrongdoing.
. * The anti-Semites had resigned from the campaign.
. * The issue was closed.

Clearly there are some mutually exclusive positions in the
above list, they even might be considered mendacious
circumlocutions--in other words... a lie.

The charges primarily came from two sources: a report by
Detroit-based freelancer Russ Bellant (published by Political
Research Associates in Cambridge); and a series of articles by
reporter Larry Cohler and Walter Ruby appearing in Washington
Jewish Week. Both sources focused on the Bush campaign's
recruitment of Eastern European nationalists who had emigrated to
the U.S. after World War II, having fled countries such as
Latvia, Rumania, Bulgaria, and the Croation section of
Yugoslavia. These ethnic activists had gravitated towards the
Republican Party due to a shared emphasis on rolling back
communism and gaining independence for the nations near the
Baltic coast and the Balkans which now are under Soviet
domination.

Some of these ethnic emigres, who champion "liberation" for
these "Captive Nations," had fled their homelands due to their
allegiance to Nazi Germany. Their continued support for fascism
and anti-Semitic views were aspects of their political work kept
hidden while toiling on behalf of George Bush and the Republican
Party.

A chronological look at the controversy shows how artfully
the Bush campaign sidestepped the charges while simultaneously
mollifying its Jewish and fascist constituencies.

9/08/88 -- The story surfaces when Washington Jewish Week
charges several Bush ethnic advisory committee members are well-
known anti-Semites and pro-fascists, including persons who
opposed the Justice Department's Office of Special Investigation
(OSI) probe into emigre Nazi collaborators in the U.S. The
article focuses on Bush ethnic advisors Jerome Brentar, Florian
Galdau and Philip Guarino.
