I've been hearing that lately. Why?

Yup!
Fascism is a radical totalitarian political philosophy that combines elements of corporatism, authoritarianism, extreme nationalism, militarism, anti-anarchism, anti-communism and anti-liberalism.

Its been going on a lot more then just "lately."
Funny how all the sudden he starts calling other countries fascist. Seems all to convenient.
Remember this statement from the mouth of Bush. "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It's just a goddamn piece of paper."

Only by the definition of the word.
Fascist -- someone who advocates for a right-wing authoritarian hierarchical government, and is opposed to democracy or liberalism.
Bush is a proponent of what is called the Unitary Executive doctrine, which says that the Chief Executive (President) can act without oversight or limitation by Congress or the Courts.

No, he isn't a fascist. What you've been hearing is just name-calling, you know, like six-year olds do. The reason you have been hearing it must be that you have been tuned in to people who think and talk on that level.

Only if the definition of "fascist" has changed in the last nanosecond or so.
As to why you hear this charge - it's made by youngsters who, when their mommies ask them why they did something bad, answer with something like "Because!".
To make it plain, they are UNABLE to carry on a meaningful discussion about anything of substance. As a result, they resort to throwing verbal bombs. Posters of "questions" and "answers" with that kind of content are best ignored - I don't know that they'll go away but let them play with themselves. They enjoy that best anyway.

You are hearing that because there are a great many people who are brain dead and feel the U.S. of A. should just role over and let the suicide killer types run the world. Not as long as I draw a breath.

Hello Barbie Girl...in a Barbie Worl....
Facism is so far and away from GWB. It is just name calling.
