		<description>Wow.  And good at deflection, too.  No wonder the Republicans lost their collective rears in the election.  No substance, no ideas, no nothing.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Yea dude. Don&#039;t you know that the truth is whatever Michelle Malkin says it is? Bitsy-Doody is simply passing her truth along to us. Don&#039;t blame the messenger.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No. Say rather if &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; are for something, it&#039;s sufficient cause to consider it toxic.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Bit appears to be one of those wacked out Republicans who either: (1) missed the grammar part of their education (&quot;Democrat&quot; versus &quot;Democratic&quot; for an adjective); &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Aha. The Suffix police are getting nervous, I see. 

Perhaps what&#039;s gotten by you...(And I wonder about the omission being by intent) members of the Democrat party are certainly Democrats... but if the forcing down out throats all this spending, while the vast majority don&#039;t support it is of any indication they hardly qualify as &#039;democratic&#039;. there&#039;s a difference you see. Apparently that distiction makes the members of that party nervous. As it should.</description>

		<description>Bit appears to be one of those wacked out Republicans who either: (1) missed the grammar part of their education (&quot;Democrat&quot; versus &quot;Democratic&quot; for an adjective); or (2) purposely and intentionally engages in using the Rush Limbaugh approved smear of the DemocratIC Party.

Once you see that, you can basically write off anything they have to say because they are either too stupid to understand basic grammar or they are just smearing all Democrats and have no open mind.

		<description>If you want to create a useful rule, require that anyone who uses the term fascist be required to define it. Would love to see Dave&#039;s definition and how to apply that to FDR.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Look, Franklin Roosevelt was obviously a fascist in its American manifestation.&lt;/em&gt; 

Good lord, man, I&#039;ve never seen you write anything downright stupid before.

A fascist?  On what definition of the word?

FDR enacted his program through Congress; was elected and re-elected through fair, contested elections; submitted to the rule of law; and in every other respect was about as non-fascist as it&#039;s possible to be.  Fascists do not abandon pet programs because a court tells them to.

You might as well say that Hitler was &quot;a Republican in its German manifestation.&quot;  That would be grossly unfair to the GOP, but it would make about as much sense.</description>

		<description>steve s,

I think you need to brush up on Jane&#039;s Law:  The party in power is smug and arrogant.  The party out of power is always insane.  The Democrats and their followers were nuts when Bush was President (or at least most of his Presidency).  I&#039;m sure if we wandered over to a few of the Lefty sites we could find amble evidence of people invoking Hitler, genocide, and fascism to Bush/Cheney.

Oh just for old time&#039;s sake:  Chimperor!

This idea that your side is the paragon of rationality and righteousness is just...well...stoopid.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Correct; And the implications for Obama, and indeed the whole of the Democrat party, who so often tries to use FDR as a symbol, are frightening at least.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Heh, I&#039;m not sure Dave is going to be happy with this connection given that Obama, et. al. have indeed worked hard to make.

So to sum up:

Henderson is right on the facts, but wrong because Megan&#039;s sensibilities were offended?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Genocide is, however, not a necessary outgrowth of fascist ideology nor have most genocides been carried out by fascist governments. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m not sure I accept that, James. I&#039;m left to Lord Acton&#039;s point absolute power and it&#039;s effects. Hitler fell to that behavior because given his absolute power, he COULD do that; there wasn&#039;t anything stopping him.
