What you see pictured is the cover of Jonah Goldberg's new book, "Liberal Fascism". Since the guys at First Friday praised this book, I thought smart to counter. Oddly, one of the guys there claims to never read, so I certainly hope he was not the one who posted it. Another thing, watching the videos below, I see Jonah Goldberg as another neo-con who can't get through a sentence without mentioning Hillary Clinton. Jonah Goldberg's theory of "a social community moving in the same direction is facist liberalism" is a complete stretch. Watch the videos, and listen to Thom Hartmann mop the floor with this neo-con.Thursday, January 17, 2008
Liberal Fascism? Gimme a break

Looking at his biography, Goldberg appears to have been a conservative all of his life, and is mainstream in that movement, not "neo".
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with the book, but there are certain policies of the Left that smack of "fascism". Just a little. The effort to have the government censor Rush Limbaugh/etc with a "fairness doctrine" that would wipe political commentary from radio airwaves is one. (Civil libertarians oppose this effort to censor broadcast media political opinion).
Hundreds of thousands of government workers being forced to give to the Democratic Party is another.
However, I am reluctant to use the word "Fascism", because it is used too much in political debates for effect and exaggeration. Equating Hillary With Hitler is extreme and repugnant.
