Rumsfeld: US Facing 'New Facism' & Bush Critics Are Appeasers Of Facism

[KittyWampus]

Bush and Rumsfeld (and soon the whole GOP/Mediawhore Machine) are now using the word Facism. Yes, projecting their own malfeasance and their own brand of treachery onto others.

The Republican Party is not only using the word Facism... even though it applies to them... they are going to begin calling Democrats and critics of NeoConservatism Facists.

This is what happens when Democrats fear using appropriate words forcefully.
The GOP WILL ALWAYS end up blaming Democrats for their own sins.

While elected Democrats try and appear gentlemanly, the GOP goes to ever further extremes.

The United States is fighting "a new type of facism," US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told a veterans' group here Tuesday. "We face similar challenges in efforts to confront the rising of a new type of fascism," he said.

"And that is important in this 'long war' where any kind of moral and intellectual confusion about who and what is right or wrong can weaken the ability of free societies to persevere," he said, taking aim at detractors of the US "war on terror".

1. Projection...

it's what they do best. It's all that they do.

2. To quote sharp-shooter Cheny: "Go fuck yourself" Rummy

13. let's be on the watch for the word "facism" coming from GOP'ers

and mediawhores.

Will the Democrats begin to realise they need to call a spade a spade?

3. my gawd. this is downright dirty stuff. Where does he get off calling

critics appeasers!!

[KittyWampus]

4. He didn't use the exact word "appeasers" but you know Rush has the talking

points. Rumsfeld insinuated it. Rush and Hannity etc WILL be elaborating.

5. yes, he is right. We are at risk from a group of religious extremists

who want to force their twisted version of their religion on us, or kill us in the process.

Christofascists.

6. we ARE fighting a new form of fascism. the takeover of our government

by fascist criminals in concert with the corporations they serve.

[KittyWampus]

7. Exactly. But now what happens should Democrats ever try to point this out

?

8. Our camp is cleaner than theirs, but not all dems are fascism-free

Thom Hartmann nails it again here:

9. Why do we sit here and allow these pigs to project their actions on

the rest of the world including ourselves?

It is time this country starts to stand up and take the government back from the edge of fascism before it is too late.

This sob sits there with his delusions proclaiming that others are doing the very things he and his regime are guilty of.

:banghead:

10. Bush supporters are appeasers of fascism.

11. When I heard about this quote of Rumsfeld

and seeing how it comes on the heels of Islmafascist statement I thought to myself there the rat bastards go again - PROJECTION

Neither one of the "fascist" statements even make sense as far as the meaning of fascism

They are unfucking believable -

But really the best example of their projection is the time this Rep from PA I think his name is Pitts actually stood on the floor of the House of Representatives shortly before the 2004 election and claimed that the Democrats were preparing to steal the election.....

We are living in the twilight zone....

12. Psychologists call this "Projection"

And make no mistake about it, this bunch will have psychologists in a quandry for decades to come. They have more collective psychoses than BelleVue at Christmas time.
