The key here is to either

-turn fascist into something benign

or failing that

-align fascism with your political enemies. They have successfully used "commie baiting" to marginalize even moderate Liberals, and have turn others into scared wimps. We took our lumps, but those of us on the left are kinda getting sick of the name calling, cliches and want to strike back.

Enter the neoCons...Wow, we see all kinds of glowing examples of FASCISM. If we pump that all over the nation, then the American people may think, "shit...Im not scared of Stalin...Im scared of Hitler now" and then who knows...Conservatives=Fascism=Losing Elections.

But not if THEY strike first and align US Liberals with fascists. Watch out for it. Right now they are just using the term "Islamo-fascist"...at some point in the very near future "progressive" or "liberal" will get tied into it as well.

These people know what they are doing.
