Scary Stuff

Via Gallimaufry, there's an article at Orcinus by David Neiwert that compares the current path of the Republican party to the trappings of Fascism. It's a strange comparison that brings up some valid points. I think there is a tiny branch of current Republicans, the Bush Republicans/Rethuglicans/Hateriots, that are definitely headed down that path. I don't think they are there yet, nor do I believe they are doing this intentionally (though sometimes I wonder), but it is a very scary look at what could happen if they aren't stopped.
