They loved hitler because he was pro business... think Krupps Bosch Seimens Benz, VW. Ford helped the nazis with their assembly line production and Prescott Bush helped with the bankroll. These assholes wanted to over throw Roosevelt in a coup and tried to get decorated General Smedly Butler to attack Washington DC with 500,000 troops but Butler did not do it.. I think he spilled the beans to Roosevelt and put these guys backs against the wall and testified to congress about the matter..
Rumor has it that Roosevelt told the members of congress if they did not pass his social security bill he would have them charged and shot for treason and insurrection..
Needless to say Roosevelt turned lemons into lemonade and got Social security passed...
(as Churchill said "never let a good crisis go to waste"
From what I've read, all this information.. albeit sanitized by 1930's standards is in the library of congress under the McCormick-Dickstein committee. I first heard about it on a BBC radio program.

As the saying goes, if we don't learn from history we are bound to repeat it..
