The pot calls the kettle black
"Once again, we face similar challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism... It seems that in some quarters, there is more of a focus on dividing our country than acting with unity against the gathering threats."
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld
Fourteen common threads of fascist regimes:
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

It's unfortunate, but when people hear "Nazi" all they think of is concentration camps and millions of the murdered.
Nazism and Fascism had a lot more to them, and Bushco has moved America very far down that road.
If you read the 14 points with an open mind, all 14 points match our current govt.

The question presupposes an answer. Did you forget that fascist regimes want to rule the World?
If Rumsfeld is at all right (duh?) then he may well worry about "a new type of fascism". The neo-cons practise the old kind of fascism!
America is not just the new Reich it is the new Rome!

Wow! The typical shout outs of the left. BTW,since when is being proud of our flag fascist? Ever since the 60's the left has hated,hated our flag. Prior to that,showing your flag was a proud,wonderful thing. My dad fought during WW2 and he taught me to be proud of it. He knew what real fascist Nazis were like,because he had to fight them. You wouldn't know one if it bit you in the a**! This is why,the dem party of today has no connection with the old school dems.

I think Vice President Cheney, President Bush, Don Rumsfeld, George H.W. Bush and I'm sure others are so entwined in the highest levels of government and business it isn't funny. This is their party and they are doing what they want, screw the American people.

look back in every single war in our nations history, and you will see the parallelism. you are taking it far and out of context. fascist nations repress citizens for leadership control of the masses. our nation has nulled certain PRIVELIDGES in regard for national security, but our forefathers were too smart when they set up the constitution. my life has not changed. i have not been repressed.

Similarities between Islamofascism & 1940's fascism? Yes they are very similar.
