Wingnuts

Liberal Fascism

The sheer obstinance of the uneducated and misinformed far-right never ceases to amaze. In the comments under my Huffington Post column, there are more than a few wingnuts who are insisting in the face of overwhelming study and evidence to the contrary that fascism resides at the left wing liberal end of the political spectrum.

There's obviously a larger political science discussion to be had here, but the short form is that despite Jonah Goldberg's ridiculous book title and Glenn Beck's crazy delusions, fascism is an anti-liberal, extremely right wing form of government.

I swear, if I would've written that the Moon isn't made of green cheese, wingnut commenters would've appeared and argued in favor the cheese theory.
