Now THIS is what an American Fascist Movement would look like! I'm NOT calling Obama a fascist, I'm only saying that this is what such a movement would LOOK like. If an actual fascist leader comes along, he will look far more like Obama than like Bush.
And one more thought on fascism. Fascism NEVER "creeps." "Creeping fascism" is an oxymoron. Fascism LEAPS.
