They were non-starters in this country for a host of reasons best explained by Werner Sombart and other people who are smarter than me. <BR/><BR/>No nazi or fascist affiliated party has ever seated someone to public office in the US. There were real Marxist and fascist/ Nazi parties in Europe. <BR/><BR/>Calling the GOP fascist is just letting them prolong their stupid culture war a little bit longer. Its tired. It was the wrong term to describe LBJ's despicable war in Vietnam, and its the wrong word for the GOP now. <BR/><BR/>But I agree with your larger point: the GOP's policies and behavior is appalling, incendiary and irresponsible. We just have to make sure voters in 2010 remember this.Matt Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136331581631099471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057646105981087139.post-70582289325609046012009-04-03T15:25:00.000-04:002009-04-03T15:25:00.000-04:00(It's Capote.
