Jonah Goldberg: Liberal Fascism



Uploaded by: videocafeblog
Video Description:
On C-SPAN's BookTV, Jonah Goldberg just really jumps the shark on this one. He is desperate to equate any type of populist movement to fascism and seems to forget what the definition of fascism even is. The man just earned an A in the rewriting of history grade. I'm sure Ann Coulter is very proud of him. And those jumbo-trons he's fear mongering about....hate to tell you but we've got them now. They're called Fox News.
For more of a flavor of what was in this entire program and Goldberg's attempt at revisionist history you can read Goldberg's interview at Salon here titled "We're All Fascists Now: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/01/11/goldberg/

Goldberg produces ... ( 2 months ago by dinnerbucket9)
Goldberg produces entirely Orwellian drivel in this miserable pamphlet, blithely ignoring the most blantant and enduring nexus re Hitlers Reich and right wing extremism; 1] racism and 2] identification with and adoration of the military.
The term Entartung ... ( 2 months ago by lmerve)
The term Entartung (or "degeneracy") had gained currency in Germany by the late 19th century when the critic and author Max Nordau devised the theory presented in his 1892 book, Entartung.Nordau drew upon the writings of the criminologist Cesare Lombroso, whose The Criminal Man, published in 1876, attempted to prove that there were "born criminals" whose atavistic personality traits could be detected by scientifically measuring abnormal physical characteristics.

Conservatives don't want companies to run the government. They want the companies to run themselves with out government intervention. Every sector of the market that the government interferes with turns to shit. A couple of classic examples include the automobile industry in the U.S. and the agricultural sector of the USSR. Liberals are ruled by emotion not reality. You are born alone and die alone, you do not need the government to run your life or business. Less government more freedom.

Fascism is based on ... ( 2 months ago by jakefree24)
Fascism is based on violent, undemocratic. warlike militarism, like The Nazis, real Fascists, Felangists. Sure, calling people in uniform fascist is stupid and dishonest. Jonah is just as dishonest as the leftists who used fascism. Calling "it takes a village" or "politics of meaning" as fascism is ridiculous.

Goldbergs Orwellian fantasy is repugnant as it ignores the twin driving force of Hitlers Reich; racism and the adoration of and identification with the military. Anyone who has paid even scant atention to American politics since WWII well knows that liberals extremely distrust the military [industrial complex] and have been on the front lines re ending segregation and racism. Conservatives defended segregation and support the military without question.

Fascism, as demonstrated by Nazis, Fascists and Felangists had strong roots in military and violence. When some fat theocon dweeb tells people that today's fascists are teachers from Brown COllege and jerkwad cons swallow that, you lose credibility fast. Violence and war are endemic to fascism.

"brainwashed liberal commie", that is as untrue as it is shallow and cliche like. But since you are an ignorant right wing clone with no intellect or education to speak of, your brain is too impoverished to reach beyond cliches that your fave talk show hosts drilled into your mund. Calling people fascists is stupid and inaccurate, George Orwell wrote that decades ago.

"It is my ... ( 11 hours ago by BuckyDunGunn)
"It is my conviction, that the State must renounce its economic functions, especially those of a monopolistic character, for which it cannot provide. The Government must give free play to private enterprise, and must forego any measures of State control and State paternalism. Such measures may satisfy the demagogy and ambitions of Socialists, but as shown by experience, will in the long run turn out to be absolutely fatal to the interests and economic development of any country." -- Mussolini
