Obama flirts with Fascism

He's been called a socialist. He's been labeled a communist. But Barack Obama may best be described as a fascist.

A must-read editorial in today's Washington Times about the disturbing way the Barack Obama campaign responds to criticism.

From the editorial exposing the Obama Action Wire, a high-tech use of organized goons to harass or intimidate opposition to The Chosen One:

Here's how it works. A message goes out over Barack Obama's Web site with the names, phone numbers and e-mails of editors and producers foolish enough to host Obama critics. With Mr. Obama's extensive digital following, and his extensive fund-raising and contact lists, shutting up the Democratic nominee's critics with a fraction of Mr. Obama's millions of supporters is relatively simple. The digital legions plug phone lines, crash servers and intimidate the advertisers of these media outlets. This must be another instance of the "new" politics that Mr. Obama frequently talks about.

If you think this can't be happening in 21st century America, you better get yourself a copy of the best-selling book, "Liberal Fascism" and its companion blog by Jonah Goldberg.
