orangejumpsuit:

Do you have a definition for the word “macaca”?

I’ve said this a thousand times. It means a person with dark skin that can be compared with another mammal. Preferably not when you are being videotaped.

Bush’s granddaddy might not have been pro Nazi but he famously appreciated doing bussiness with them.

But if we accept Mussolini’s definition of fascism as the merging of corporate and government authority (okay, he stole it, but he got the most mileage out of it), and recognize that while not all fascists are Nazis, Nazism is a subset of fascism, then what is the operational difference between freely doing business with the Nazis and being “pro-Nazi?”

Um… “islamofascist” is derived directly from feminazi.

Perhaps true…but I don’t think that changes the points being made, because I find the word “feminazi” to be an equally meaningless and therefore manipulable slur.

It’s probably easy to go too far with this. Not everyone was Henry Ford, an enthusiastic Nazi supporter nor members of The Bund but without question a large element of American conservatism was not just objectivly but actively pro facist.

Hearing lectures on the evils of facism from Cheney is like hearing lectures on the evils of oral sex from Lucianne Goldberg. Absurd.

Mr. Dean (to re-phrase my earlier question): In your opinion, is an authoritarian orthodoxy historically evident in the GOP? If so, is Bush #43’s administration a logical manifestation of that tendency? If not, what went haywire with that party?

You are on the wrong thread.
