I found this while searching for examples of Fascism in America on the Internet. I've notice an upsurge of intolerance since 9/11 that we ought to be watching carefully. I've just uploaded the following recent events as examples:
Nevada Democrats are decrying remarks by U.S. Rep. Jim Gibbons condemning "tree-hugging, Birkenstock-wearing, hippie, tie-dyed liberals" for their opposition to the war in Iraq.
He added it was "too damn bad we didn't buy them a ticket" to become human shields in Iraq.
