Bushie propagandists misuse the words "fascist" and "imperialist" on purpose. They know they have set themselves up to be deservedly called those names themselves. This is a speciality of Rove, to no matter how inaccurately start using the very same words likely to be against Bushies against someone else first. Then when Sean Hannity types call Al Qaida "fascists" and the Iranians "imperialists" people get confused. Wait a second, fascism means a military nation state believing in a strong, arrogant agressive leader who likes to crack down on civil liberties and lie about why he's invading smaller countries. That's Bush in a nutshell. And imperialism? Are you kidding? What is more imperialist these days than the Bush-Cheney philosophy of foreign policy? No diplomacy, just "our way or the highway" and if you make deals with Exxon, McDonalds and Halliburton we'll be your friends.

Rove also switches labels in campaigns. He anticipates Bush's biggest weakness (going AWOL from the Guard) or ethical crime (being rich, selfish, greedy and serving the very rich) then tries to label his opponent with Bush's flaws, while trying to steal his opponent's strengths and apply them to Bush. Like as if Kerry is an "elitist" compared to Bush, from the US's #1 most elite family. And as if Bush is a war hero and John Kerry a "coward". Or as if Bush is "strong" and Kerry "weak". Speaking of "elitist" I notice you (propaganda parrot you) use Kerry's middle name "Forbes". But Kerry unlike Bush was not born with money. His mother's side of the Forbes family were not the rich ones. She was a poor second cousin to the Forbes magazine family, who are all very rich rightwing Republicans who want to not pay taxes. Kerry inherited $500,000 total. That's small change. The Bush family is probably worth over 100 million.
