Hanson's main point was that nothing bound that group together except what they hated. And there were some in that crowd who have earned the title "fascist" honestly. Others call themselves "progressives" but seem to define themselves only by what they are against.

The next congressional elections will be about who can get the fascist charge to stick the quickest, etc.

Oh, puh-lease. Show me some evidence of Republicans charging Democrats with "fascism" or come off it.

I think Hanson got one thing really wrong - the juxtaposition of the Star of David and the Swastika seems to be a commentary that the Israelis are acting like Nazis and the Palestinians are the oppressed. One doesn't have to draw the analogy so far as to say that the Palestinians are claiming the status of oppressed Jews, because the Nazis oppressed so many different groups, e.g., freemasons (who knows why?), Socialists, Communists, Poles and other Slavs, Gypsies, on and on.
