"So yes, I suppose reading it cold it could be taken as something rather more direct than I intended, implying that LL specifically rather than the US generally are the closet fascists. Of course, I might comment that only someone with reason to feel offended on the point would do so, but that would be unduly provocative..." I think that clears you on specifically calling LL a fascist. You may wonder anything you want about any of us, but I will take anyone's word for their political identity before speculation, unless there is substantial evidence to the contrary. Part of the annoyance was your choice of analogy, which seemed to further confuse the issue. Not a violation but that choice/confusion did seem to lend some wait to the negativity. Regarding "Rumsfeld-Cheney-Bush", you can wonder whatever you want about their secret characters. You can even have opinions about their characters, but our form of government would have to change drastically to become fascism, so I don't think that bucket holds water to well.
