spot on...
Fascist is a loaded word. Why would that particular word be chosen? its been 'extremist', 'terrorist', and so on...since 2001 - so why fascist today? that implies a system of government that empties is national treasury into corporate interests and allows these corporate interests to dictate policy and boost the economy. Like in 1930's Germany and Italy.

Halibuton?
