Thanks to minnehaha B., who sent me the link to this (rather lengthy but fascinating) article on the extent to which the seeds of proto-fascism have become mainstreamed in American politics. Thanks, B!
Glad to see that you've read this too. Neiwert can be a little long winded sometimes, but he has absolutely nailed the problem here. We not only have to beat Bush, we have to root out this fascist mindset that has spread so far into the mainstream. (Trivial example includes the footage of the RNC delegate kicking the female demonstrator who was being held down by security guards) One of the keys things to watch for is, once we've withdrawn and Iraq is really seen to be the disaster it is, how much traction does the notion that we lost Iraq becaus of the media and the protestors get?
