Fascism Comes to Danbury, Wrapped in a Chihuahua

by: Dean Barker

Mon Oct 26, 2009 at 19:00:05 PM EDT
Terrorist fist-jabbers to the south of me.

Birthers to the north of me.

Now, here come the fascists, right next to me in (otherwise) lovely Danbury. Pindell's Events at a Glance box says:

6pm, fmr Michigan GOP Chair Saul Anuzis, Merrimack Co. GOP Octoberfest, Danbury
Anuzis, Anuzis... from where do I remember that name? Oh yeah:
[Anuzis] calls the president's domestic agenda "economic fascism."

"We've so overused the word 'socialism' that it no longer has the negative connotation it had 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago," Mr. Anuzis said. "Fascism - everybody still thinks that's a bad thing."

...Tony Fabrizio, a Republican pollster, said: "If what you're trying to do is reach out to the middle, the more extreme the language, the less likely they are to pay attention. We sound like white noise in the background. It's like a yipping Chihuahua."

The New Hampshire Republican Party, circa 2009, ladies and gentlemen.

And to think, Dean - yesterday we could have .... (4.00 / 1)
..... seen the very best that the GOP has to offer. Yes, you heard correctly - I so hate myself, for it turns out that in the adjacent town of Hanover, I could ... we all could have seen .. The Young Cons ....

                   

... doing that right-wing-rap! What tragic error caused this to fly-under-radar???

 "We should pay attention to that man behind the curtain."

"Freedom" (0.00 / 0)
"If fascism comes to America, it will be called anti-fascism."
