I agree -- and oddly, so does Jonah Goldberg. But it seems like a big part of Goldberg's thesis is that the words have become almost meaningless -- so he's going to seize on a totally made-up meaning of his own choosing and write a book about how American liberals fit the definition of fascism that he just made up. It's all very silly. It's sort of like 450 pages of Godwin's Law. "HILLARY CLINTON IS WORSE THAN THE NAZIS!"
