You know what term I thought was funny?
Liberal fascist.
The stupid fucker who called me that (CMike) doesn't have a clue what those 2 words mean, nor do they wish to correct their definitions, as all they need to know, they learned on FAUX.
I even posted the definitions for them, but, alas..........to no avail.
What's even stranger is the GOP painting Obama as Hitler, but there's several things wrong with that......Obama is a Democrat, which means that he's a left winger.
Fascists (Nazis) are extreme RIGHT wingers.
I guess when you're just concerned with using fear and intimidation, you really don't care about what is or isn't true.
One of hitlers first act as ruler was to provide socialized medicine. It was one of the National Socialist German Workers' Party's (NAZIS) central core values. I think thats why people are making that comparison
I can see the stretch being made, remember people compairing bush to hiltler? Or people calling him a fascist? Pure idiocracy no matter which side does it.
Dems aren't nazi fascists, repubs aren't nazi fascists however fascists can both be conservative and liberal. Do you even know what fascism is?
From the merriam-webster dictionary:
Main Entry: fas·cism.Pronunciation: \ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-\.
Function: noun.
Etymology: Italian fascismo, from fascio bundle, fasces, group, from Latin fascis bundle & fasces fasces.
Date: 1921.
1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control <early instances of army fascism and brutality J. W. Aldridge>
See now, it has nothing to do with right or left. More to do with how a government uses it's power to achieve it's means.
Not at all, PP. Otto von Bismark did that in the 1880s.
