I suspect people have been reluctant to drop the f-bomb these past few years for fear of sounding paranoid and losing all credibility. It seems, however, that this self-imposed embargo is slowly lifting. The first time I saw the word “fascism” mentioned in any serious context was a few moths ago in the American Conservative magazine. Since then, others, like Robert Kennedy, Jr., have started joining the slowly growing chorus of voices. (While not coming right out and saying, “Bush is a fascist,” Kennedy and others have hinted at as much.) The most direct accusation I’ve seen to date came yesterday from Chris Bowers at MyDD.com, who laid out the case, supported by recent events… So, here’s my question to you. Given what we know about fascism, does this qualify? And, if so, is it time to start dropping the f-bomb?
