[lbo-talk] Socialist meme gives way to fascist meme

[John Thornton]

My next door neighbour's are having new wooden siding put on their home, 
after removing the old of course.
This has been a several weeks long project.
Every day I am "entertained" by annoyingly loud right-wing talk radio 
when I'm outside courtesy of the siding company employees.
Todays annoyingly loud right-wing radio is prattling on about the evils 
of fascism.
Yes, the Dems are turning the US, not to socialism as previously 
thought, but towards fascism!
Price controls?  Fascism!
Government regulations?  Fascism!
Bailouts?  Fascism!
Obama is a closeted fascist, not a socialist.
It's too weird to even believe.
The right is literally throwing around every fear from their playbook as 
they flail about.
They are going nuts over the idea that their ideas are falling our of favor.
The idea of Dems as socialists has a nice ring but the idea that far 
right-wing protofascists want to label the Dems as fascist is fucking 
hysterical.
