[Peace-discuss] [Fwd: Re: [lbo-talk] Chomsky on Fascism, TP and left responses]

[C. G. Estabrook]

Rothschild has been a "critical supporter" of Obama all along.

The present line of administration supporters is that the teapartiers
are fascists, against whom we must defend the liberal administration.
(E.g., The Nation wants the teapartiers prosecuted for "sedition" - I'm
not making that up.)

Given the crimes the administration continues to commit, their defensive
bleat of "stick close to nurse for fear of something worse" is
particularly captious.  It's comparable to the liberal anti-communism of
fifty years ago - with Sarah Palin cast as Stalin.  --CGE
