What the Hell is a "Liberal Fascist?"

Message

What the hell is a "Liberal Fascist?"
Behold the power of twisted language

 

More and more often, I hear this term on my radio and TV-- A newly coined phrase, based on the title of Jonah Goldberg’s book, to undermine the Democratic candidates who are taking America by storm and their supporters. 

The Media Whores of Hyperbole rely on a dumbed-down audience to parrot the sound byte, but to never read the book.  The phrase sounds powerful but means nothing. It is merely the latest “word bomb” being thrown at liberals and progressives-- and their candidates, in hopes of influencing the November election. 

Liberal Fascism is a contradiction in terms.  History clearly shows that Fascism was always product of right-wing extremists and the reaction AGAINST Liberals. The very first victims of Nazi concentration camps were the intellectuals and liberals: newspaper people, educators and educated professionals.

Bashing of Liberals as unAmerican has been a weapon to polarize Americans by demonizing the “thinking” portion of the population and separating the kool-aid drinkers from logic and reality.  The Rush-clones understand, as do their masters, that with a divided people, they can continue to grow fat controlling the airwaves-- and thinking -- of this country. 

But the pundits have nothing left (pardon the pun) to put forth except sound bytes.  And their paradoxical sound bytes don’t stand up to the reality of American life in 2008.  Everything the Airwave Whores support is crumbling to bits as real people wake up to the real Fascists who have been raping and selling out our country.  

Jonah Goldberg’s book is a concocted examination of NOTHING. It's an attempt to paint mainstream liberals with a fascist brush -- Clinton and Obama at the head -- as somehow being heirs to Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler while the real fascists mortgage our country to the heirs of Mao, Islamic Kings and third world labor marts.

In layman's metaphor, it's the equivalent of saying every man who wears a moustache is a follower of Hitler.  

Goldberg’s logic is no better than those who argue the Holocaust never existed. 

Think about it.
