Your next President, Mike Huckabee:
In a speech to the Florida Renewal Project Monday night, which in an unprecedented move was live streamed on the American Family Association’s Web site, Huckabee compared America to Nazi Germany. He first implored the audience to renew their “commitment to Christ” and “to our nation, to its heritage, as well as to its future,” adding “do we expect the seculars [sic] to do it? Do we expect the unbelievers to lead us, and if so, how will they lead us and where?” He then engaged in an extended description of his visit to the Israeli Holocaust Memorial Yad Vashem with his 11- year-old daughter, who asked, “why didn’t somebody do something?” Huckabee, who has called abortion a “holocaust,” then issued a dire warning:
… I pray that no father ever stands over the shoulder of his own daughter and after her witnessing the decline and the fall of a great nation, writes, and sees her write these words, “why didn’t somebody do something?” You see, I believe the reason we’re here is because we are the somebodies. And we’re to do the something and if we don’t, who will? And if we don’t act now, when will it happen, and will it be too late? You leave this conference with this haunting question, and pray that no one would ever ask of you or of me, why didn’t somebody do something.
You read that right. Huckabee thinks if the “seculars” are allowed to rule America, our country could suffer the same fate as Nazi Germany.
Awesome.

I would do something but I’m too busy seculating.
January 28, 2008 at 1:25 pm
All righty then.
January 28, 2008 at 1:25 pm
As a Jew and a White Man, I am totally confused about what to do? Liberal Fascism, the book, has so turned around my thinking that I can’t even tell who I am oppressing, or am being oppressed by anymore.
My brain is kerplach.
January 28, 2008 at 1:31 pm
That depends. Are you being subjected to the violence inherent in the system?
Oh, wait– that’s re-pressed. Not o-pressed. Different things, right?
January 28, 2008 at 1:51 pm
“why didn’t somebody do something?”
Mike Huckabee is not giving credit to the many Americans who are panicking.
January 28, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Lee Siegel’s brilliant new Against the Machine: Being Human in the Age of the Electronic Mob is the Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction of Liberal Fascism!
And if you had half the talent of Siegel you’d recognize this fact!!!

And the Lord Jehovah spaketh unto the Hucksters’ firstborn, saying “take ye two kinds of every dog, strangulate and torture them, and thy flabby jowls shall be a beacon unto the new theocracy.”
January 28, 2008 at 2:14 pm
You seculars somebodies never do something
January 28, 2008 at 2:18 pm
you know with all the bullshit you have to put up with from asshats like the huckster it IS kind of annoying that we don’t have some sort of a plan to expropriate church property or something.
i propose the following:
1. those bastards have to start paying taxes. period.
the rest of the list is on my blog.
January 28, 2008 at 2:18 pm
My girlfriend’s a jew, but I’m Puerto Rican. Does that make me the Juan Epstein of Liberal Fascism?
January 28, 2008 at 2:22 pm
This post was here, and then it was gone. And now it’s here again.
I sense a rip in the space-time continuum.
January 28, 2008 at 2:24 pm
I beens waiting for thises. Now I can say what I always wanted to say:
The Weimar Republic is Jewish?
January 28, 2008 at 2:26 pm
Isn’t this as good time to post some pitchers of Michelle Malkin nekkid?
I mean, you know, Jewish nekkid. Like wearing a yarmulke or with Hassidic furburns
January 28, 2008 at 2:33 pm
And we’re to do the something and if we don’t, who will?
This sounds like a job for Holocaust Connections, Inc.

Nobody is the Somebody of Lineral Fascism?
January 28, 2008 at 3:03 pm
“Nobody is the Somebody of Lineral Fascism?”
Made me look up lineral. Just in case, y’know.
Nobody was once the somebody of moral nihilism, which is so passe a meaningless slur it’s coming to a wingnut editorial near you soon.
January 28, 2008 at 3:30 pm
‘Lineral’ is a clearly acceptable substitute for ‘Liberal’. Only a Fascist resorts to the dictionary to tell him what words are words.
January 28, 2008 at 3:37 pm
After some research, I have concluded that this new “Liberal Fascism” differs from other fashionable fascisms, such as Pantload Fascism and its close cousin Assrocket Fascism, primarily because of differences in the interpretation of (and even belief in the existence of) postmodernism.
January 28, 2008 at 4:13 pm
In the meaty part, I’m delighted to form the Northern Hemisphere’s side of the antipodean anti-fascism tag-team.
Fourthly, I agree entirely that the Nazis co-opted traditional conservative institutions and I very much like and, for the most part agree with.
January 28, 2008 at 6:41 pm
..and when they came for the accordion players, there was no one to stand up for me.
January 28, 2008 at 8:35 pm
<a href=”http://lefarkins.blogspot.com/2008/01/dear-jonah-i-am-not-serious-either.html”I think this is helpful.
January 28, 2008 at 8:35 pm
er, sorry for that. not very good with this intertubes stuff sometimes.
January 28, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Huckabee is like McCain’s fullback, knocking Romney out the way to the disdain of your Rush Limbaughs.
January 28, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Morty @ 3:
I’ll admit it’s a little confusing at first. But after reading Lib Fascism while breathing copious amounts of nitrous, I realized it was my duty as a liberal Jewish white man to oppress myself.
Really, it’s fun once you get the hang of it.
January 28, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Watching tonight, with the proudly sycophantic Republicans not only providing standing ovations but then dutifully lining up for fat-tip-marker autographs memorializing the most pathetic state of the union speech in living memory, I finally understood that the real fascists are those who refuse to glory in the power of the president.
All those who oppose fascism say heil.
January 28, 2008 at 10:52 pm
The Illuminati are playing a major part in all this. And the Rosicrucians.
January 28, 2008 at 10:55 pm
The left in particular has institutionalized argumentum ad hitlerum as a means of delegitimizing viewpoints they find objectionable. But Edwards, for all his handsome simplicity, articulates this vision the most passionately.
January 28, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Unsurprisingly, that’s not right on the facts or the argument. The same market-based approach is used by environmentally crapulent liberal celebrities all the time.
As I document in my new book, “Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left from Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning,” the progressives’ tale of eager reformers forcibly bringing Big Business under heel is an enduring myth that ultimately perpetuates the very problem the crusaders set out to cure.
January 28, 2008 at 11:04 pm
…and thy flabby jowls shall be a beacon unto the new theocracy.”
Beacon or bacon? I’ll sign up for the bacon.
January 28, 2008 at 11:21 pm
They came first for the somebodies, but I did not speak out, for I was a nobody…
January 28, 2008 at 11:38 pm
…you see sometimes The American Electorate is a puppy and you’re the the piss pad…
January 29, 2008 at 12:11 am
Liberal fascism eats puppies for breakfast. Leave it to Hitlery Klitton to protect us from the international puppy-pee conspiracy.
January 29, 2008 at 5:04 am
I wonder who Jonah is talking about here:
I like that. “Unadulterated asininity” would be a good name for a rock band. And that just serves to underscore my point.
January 29, 2008 at 7:21 am
I have no obligation to call attention to unadulterated asininity
Oh, so writing the book was completely voluntary, then?
*rimshot*
January 29, 2008 at 7:28 am
You know the only thing that nearly perfect header image lacks? oh, baby
January 29, 2008 at 7:34 am
perhaps also useful
January 29, 2008 at 9:53 am
Someone might want to inform Mr. Huckabee of the 300,000 American,18 million Russian, 400,000 Brits, 250,000 French military personel that died doing something about it. Lest people might think he is stupid.
January 29, 2008 at 11:06 am
“You read that right. Huckabee thinks if the “seculars” are allowed to rule America, our country could suffer the same fate as Nazi Germany.”
You’re misreading him. He thinks that our country IS Nazi Germany, and it’s up to him to stop the Holocaust of the unborn, by any means. The idea that someone could go to Yad Vashem and bring back that message makes me want to puke.
January 29, 2008 at 11:36 am
“In a speech to the Florida Renewal Project Monday night…”
Speech? I thought they all gathered at the Stadium in white robes and just floated to the ceiling, each hoping the red light in his or her palm turned from red to white?
Renew! Renew!
January 29, 2008 at 6:20 pm
911 was an inside job,you ziofascist cocksucker!
January 30, 2008 at 2:23 am
Yikes, that was aggressive, Peter.
January 30, 2008 at 10:25 am
And when they came for the stand-uppers, I was sitting down.
January 30, 2008 at 10:28 am
“Only a Fascist resorts to the dictionary to tell him what words are words.”
Commie slut! When I said I looked it up, I meant I looked to the Heavens! Right up the holy robe skirts of yahweh Itself!
For indeed, no man can look upon the *face* of god and live, but you can stare up His buttcrack all day long, no prob. Just use a little sun cream.
January 30, 2008 at 10:30 am
“All those who oppose fascism say heil.”
Heil Pert!
January 30, 2008 at 11:35 am
…and when they came for the miniature golfers, there was no one left to stand up for me.
January 30, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Huckabee has been telling that frickin story for years now, and it’s so out of line. My old blog, from Sept. 2005 on the same damn topic:
http://musementparked.blogspot.com/2005/09/huckabee-compares-democrats-to-nazis.html
Who will be President in 2008? Not Rudy, and not Mike Huckabee. And for this we can all give thanks.
April 28, 2008 at 1:56 pm
End illegal immigration and unfair trade.
June 11, 2008 at 4:52 am
[...] Well, at least Asay didn’t pull a Huckabee and compare abortion to the Holocaust, although he comes close, and attributing abortion to “fear… pride… [...]
