As free as your naive bullshit.

I'm not going to waste my time digging up articles from British and Indian and Pakistani newspapers from four years ago to educate you. Do your own searches and spend your own time educating yourself. My memory is crystal clear, and had friends involved in the diplomatic process at that time. Enough said.

Rovian talkingpoints 8/06: islamic fascists, islamo fascists, fascists, islamic fascism, fight against muslim fascism, war against islamic fascism, etc.

Variations on the new theme:

- Iraq IS THE FIRST strike against Islamic fascism. We tried, we didn't do so well but we're the guys protecting you against Islamic Fascism so vote for us.

- A vote for Lamont is a vote for Islamic Fascism.

- A vote for Lieberman is a vote to defeat Islamic Fascism.

- Democrats are secretly Islamic Fascists.

Note, the re-emergence of THE BIG LIE:

- Iraq + 911

With a new wrinkle:

- Iraq is the first try at killing Islamic Fascism.

The Rovian spin is to stake a claim to the word Fascism so that it isn't used appropriately: to label Republicans and especially Bushie II Republicans.

It's cute. They steal, they lie, they cheat, they can't govern, they kill and they are the party of death but they do spin enough to rope in idiots.

This thread will be full of the above Rovian spin. Rightwingers are goosestepping now.
