Yeah... I am still laughing(?) over Bush's "Islamic Fascism" remark from yesterday. Apparently Rove and co have decided to take rewriting words to Newspeak to new heights. Because Bush obviously has no idea what the definition of "fascism" is. He fits the definition much better than Naserallah, Osama or any other Islamic leader. But Karl, knowing the power of words, has decided to reframe the word itself. Must have become painfully aware of Bushso's new label and is seeking to twist and spin - quickly. A touch of panic to feed Bush such blather at that particular moment (through the ear-piece, doubtless, as his disjointed speaking... ah.... makes... ah... you know... clear...). fascism One entry found for fascism.
