Just like the ACORN supporters are screaming about the protesters at town hall meetings as being "well-organized and funded from deep pockets." We are in a true Orwellian "double speak" society.

An old rule of argument is that if you are guilty as sin you should accuse your opponent of your crime so when they accuse you of it they look to be parroting you.

ACORN is obviously well funded and well organized.
Obama called for them to descend on Town Hall meetings to beat up and shout down the genuine grass roots outcry against the government takeover of ever more of our economy.

Because of WWII, the word 'fascism' has an emotional connotation.

You could user "corporatism", but most people have never heard of the concept
