Right-Wing Fringers for Fascism

by AltHippo @ 4:03 pm. Filed under hacks, Liberal Fascism

Keith Olbermann on his countdown to the “worst person in the world:”

The runner-up: right-wing lunatic fringer Jonah Goldberg who has evidently written a book about fascism without knowing what it is. Insisting in an interview that Italy‘s Benito Mussolini was actually a life-long socialist, unless fascism is a left-wing evil, quote, “the only reason he got dubbed ‘the fascist‘ and, therefore, right-winger,” Goldberg claims, “is because he supported World War I.” You don‘t think he was dubbed a fascist maybe, because on February 23, 1919, he created the Fasci Italiani di Combattimento—the Italian Fighting League? Or, that he was viewed as a right-winger because he created the Black Shirts to attack the socialists and the anarchists? Did you do any research at all?

Some questions answer themselves.
