Who you calling Fascist?
10/02/06 10:57
The
right-wing has adopted the term “Islamic Fascists” or
the shortened “Islamofascists” when describing
terrorists and their supporters as part of their Big
Scary Campaign 2006. Even the preznit is using it
now. It works pretty good for them I think. They know
their audience well. They know that the average
dumb-ass American probably doesn’t really know what
Fascism is, but knows that it’s
bad and
therefore they are against it. They also know that
Joe Sixpack won’t bother to look it up.
Well I looked it up on the intertubes (so you know it’s true) and it seems that fascism is characterized by:
nationalist aggression; fusing of the state with corporate interests; single party rule; the suppression of civil liberties; and pervasive propaganda.
Read that again. Does that not exactly describe what’s been going on in this country? Talk about spin! These fuckers don’t just tell the little fibs. They completely deny reality! Black is white. War is peace. A guy who supported Vietnam, but ducked out of actually fighting there is more patriotic than a decorated veteran of the conflict. That’s pervasive propaganda alright.
