No, I don’t know what that title means, either. How can I be expected to make very serious and thoughtful analogies when the Dhimmicrats have just helped al-Qaeda establish a New Caliphate in suburban Topeka?
Well this afternoon we won a second improbable victory against the FISA bill that rewards telecoms for joining George Bush in breaking the law. The Republicans didn’t come close to invoking cloture against Sen. Chris Dodd’s filibuster. In fact, they couldn’t muster even 50 votes. Cloture attracted only 48 votes (to 45 against).
And so Liberal Fascism aids Islamofascism. Has it ever been clearer that everyone I hate is exactly the same? But lo! Who’s that fascist on yonder grassy knoll?
For several months now, I’ve listened to the building frustration over this immunity and this administration’s campaign of lawlessness. I’ve seen it in person, in mail, online—the passion and eloquence of citizens who are just fed up. They’ve inspired me more than they know.
The blogofascists. I should have known.

Hey Editors, how long is this whole Librul Fashism schtick gonna go on? It’s not like I’m yearning for Tesh videos and kittens or anything, but the joke is getting is kind of old.
January 29, 2008 at 11:22 am
You don’t yearn for kitten piccies? Fascist.
January 29, 2008 at 11:25 am
I don’t set artificial timetables for the war on Liberal Fascism.

Sure, Matt Stevens wants to wave the white flag of surrender, just when the reSurgence of The Editors is paving the way for Victory in the GWOLF.
January 29, 2008 at 11:48 am
Don’t Matt, they’ll go back to blowing Brady.
I approve this exhaustive search for truth and we must diligently bayonet the haystacks in the search for filthy libofascists who would say and do anything to confuse the decent and thoughtful scions of seriousness.
January 29, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Liberal fascism is the poor man’s fascism.
January 29, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Dear Matt Stevens,
FOOL!
Would the heroic Jonah Goldberg have the freedom and liberty to.. lets say.. suckle on his mothers teats without being called a wingnut welfare case if Liberal Fascism was not the avant garde of Kantian haute couture politics? WELL?? Case closed!
January 29, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Damn, I guess I’d have to pry your liberal fascism from your cold, dead fingers. I just wish you’d get a room!
January 29, 2008 at 12:42 pm
The poor man is the fascist’s liberal.
January 29, 2008 at 12:55 pm
…and when they came for the bowling league, there was no one to stand up for me.

Let it be said, lest Slate readers are confused on this point: Contrarianness is a great and good thing—when driven by reason and facts. I think we should ask the Iraqis to vote on whether U.S. troops should stay.
In America, however, to raise such concerns is to open yourself to charges of racism, bigotry, nativism and all-around hate. But contrarianness for its own sake is often the very definition of asininity.

contrarianness for its own sake is often the very definition of asininity.
But what kind of asinity? Adulterated, or the pure, unadulterated stuff?
January 29, 2008 at 1:17 pm
“Slate readers”? DOES NOT COMPUTE.

But that is central to your point.

Heh.

Joke? Old? Philistine. Perhaps you are unaware of the existential nature of the threat facing America? It’s called fascism, and this time… it’s Liberal. And the only thing keeping us from a thousand year Reich is an unblown Brady.

Am i to understand that Kant did NOT own a marmot?

Clearly, the antithesis of the Liberal Fascist is the Compassionate Conservative.

Reactionary Revolutionairies are not as usual kind, thoughtful and interesting when they make their trivial, assy, and tantrum filled cry baby blog points.
When we think about Matt Stevens we need to remind ourselves that the rest of society will not tolerate ripping, stomping, and much gnashing of teeth, even though all relevent thinkers agree, Matt Stevens wants to place your chilid in a mind altering state nursery school, where the children are tought that whales have more feelings then Nuclear Submarines and that it’s never alright to make decsions and follow through with them.
Matt Stevens is a terrorist and should be shackled to another terrorist, (who is yes, in fact shackled to yet another and another terrorist), in any tropical U.S. Protectorate until the conditions on the battlefield are such that the commanders on the field are inclined to suggest to President McCain that Matt may be released to a Haliburton Corporate Freedom Work Camp so that he might provide services to real Americans like fixing my MacBook or doing my taxes.
How does that sound Matt? Are you ready to help America now instead of constantly fucking her, it, whatever?
And that’s just how I feel!!1!
January 30, 2008 at 7:30 am
People have the audacity to wonder why we need to tap everyone’s phones with little congressional or judicial oversight?
It’s for the toddlers named Matt in their shit filled pampers banging their rattles on the high chair while the adults are speaking!

“I don’t set artificial timetables for the war on Liberal Fascism.”
Spoken like a true, moderately centrist, leader. Or at least son of a former president.
Either way, AirWolf is persuaded and is now making Poor Mans his official helicopter urine marking blogspot. He is claiming this turf as his own to protect. We are all under the mighty shield of his throbbing rotors.
Besides, I’m enjoying this liberal fascism schtick. It has produced meaningful distinctions between sensitive whales and nuclear submarines. This should make it easier for Jonah to make it through airport security from hereon out.
So he can help us win the War in Liberal Fascism.
Mission Accomplished!
Lord, do they even make flight suits that big?

I pretty much agree entirely. It’s fine to say that incestuous relationships between corporationsand governments are fascistic. In fact, I’m saying it right now. Let me see if I can explain this point.
There’s a very strong tendency among people resisting my thesis to say fascism was rightwing because various elements of the traditional right embraced it. In this sense itt was closely related to syndicalism – which I don’t think many people see as a rightwing orientation, fwiw. Debates about economics these days generally enjoy a climate of bipartisan asininity.

I got cut-off today by a driver with a “Keep Tahoe Blue” sticker! Can it be clearer that environmentalists AND bad drivers are liberal fascists?
January 30, 2008 at 8:13 pm
With apologies to Kenmeer, it’s actually the Liberal Fascists’ War on Us.
I should know; I was there on 9/lf.

I think the banner could be improved by adding a Hitler moustache to everyone pictured. And rotating swastikas for eyes.

Thank you for linking to the blogofascism post, which acknowledges the significance of Lee Siegel, brilliant author of the seminal Against the Machine, which truly is the “Avant-Garde and Kitsch” of Liberal Fascism.
Of course, Siegel is brave, brilliant, and wittier than the Editors will ever be. Take that, you bunch of immature, abusive sheep.
January 31, 2008 at 10:43 am
Speaking of sockpuppetry, has anyone seen Lee Siegel and Jonah at the same time?
