Bush-Cheney's rightwing rhetoric sounds fascist, and people like Anne Coulter, Horowitz, Savage, Hannity and many others have sounded like Nazi propagandists all along. Plus, when you consider the entire Karl Rove strategy to win at all costs by cheating, scape-goating, dividing, pitting race against radce, smearing, stoking the fires of militant nationalism and fear-mongering the similarities become even more uncanny. And then Bush stating he can spy on anyone he likes without a warrant. That means he considers himself above the law, in essence a rightwing dictator. Even though the people are against him now.
Also, I remember the angry mob of rightwingers outside the re-counting office of Miami-Dade in 2000. They physically intimidated the re-counters and kept them from doing their jobs, very reminiscent of Hitler's brown shirts.
The GOP rightwing's closet contains a lot of demons, some of them bearing swastikas. And a lot of people know it. Which is exactly why Rove chose to inaccurately use the word "fascist" against the terrorists, though they are still trying to confuse Iraq with Al Qaida and 9-11 which it had nothing to do with. |
