It's a libertarian revision of history. The "liberals" are "fascists" because they are against "freedom" and wanna take away your guns, your dope, your cigs, and your taxes. The communists and the Fasci were two sides of the same coin, yadda, yadda. BTW, Goldberg is a slug.

Don't get me wrong... the libs are the day shift and the Nazis are the night shift and both wanna take away everything you got BUT in order to get to the Libs from Nazis, ya gotta take a giant leap over Libertarians and "conservatives". The whole J.S. Mill thing is about given' a little to keep the rest. These "freedom" types don't leave nothin' behind... not even the requisite crumbs. Goldberg is revisiting the "FDR was a Fascist" rap. I saw him on CSPAN.
