The problem with the term 'fascism' is that it has lost any specific meaning and now stands for anything the user of the term considers 'bad' . . . and this is not simply the case on the political left. Right-wing idiots and assholes use the term loosely to slander anyone they deem 'bad' . . . Islamofascism, anyone? And dont' get me started on Jonah Goldberg. Christopher Hitchens? I'd love to meet that fuck in a bar somewhere. And not because I'm looking for a date (no, that was NOT homophobia) but simply because I believe chicken-shit warmongers should be called out (in public) whenever possible.
