Olberman is clearly worried (as we all here at FDL are) about these neo-fascist calling us fascists. Its been going on for a while, but for this administration to start calling us fascists (in league with Iran-o-fascists and therefore traitors) appeasers is too clearly “the big lie”, too newspeak, too overt not to be evidence that something scary is coming. Maybe we still have time to stop ‘em and Godbless Keith for standing up to these scumbags.

rail @ 161

With his hyperbolic diatribe, Rummy cements that he’s approaching the current “threat” from a loose nation-less terrorist-aspiring groups, which is best handled through modern police actions, with outdated Cold War era mentalities and tactics.

No wonder we’re noticing “Red-scare” type rhetoric from this administration, relics like Cheney and Rumsfeld are actually just spewing out the only stuff they know. “Y’know, you young whippersnappers, when I was your age, we had real enemies…”

Great points. In additional to the Owellian tactics BushCo is now using – it makes clear that Rummy is using a very old paradigm. It’s like comparing the Viet Cong to the Soviet Army.

Talk about “old Europe” – Rummy and his cronies are clueless
