Bush is a Fascist - Keith Olbermann Special Comment - 2/14

Video Description:
"Now, as promised, a Special Comment.
A part of what I will say, was said here on January 31st. Unfortunately it is both sadder and truer now, than it was, then.
"Who's to blame?" Mr. Bush also said this afternoon, "Look, these folks in Congress passed a good bill late last summer... The problem is, they let the bill expire. My attitude is: if the bill was good enough then, why not pass the bill again?"
You know, like The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Or Executive Order 90-66. Or The Alien and Sedition Acts. Or Slavery.
Mr. Bush, you say that our ability to track terrorist threats will be weakened and our citizens will be in greater danger. Yet you have weakened that ability! You have subjected us, your citizens, to that greater danger!
This, Mr. Bush, is simple enough even for you to understand. For the moment, at least, thanks to some true patriots in the House, and your own stubbornness, you have tabled telecom immunity, and the FISA act. You. By your own terms and your definitions — you have just sided with the terrorists.
You got to have this law or we're all going to die. But practically speaking, you vetoed this law.
It is bad enough, sir, that you were demanding an Ex Post Facto law, which could still clear the AT &Ts and the Verizons from responsibility for their systematic, aggressive, and blatant collaboration with your illegal and unjustified spying on Americans under this flimsy guise of looking for any terrorists who are stupid enough to make a collect call or send a mass e-mail.
But when you demanded it again during the State of the Union address, you wouldn't even confirm that they actually did anything for which they deserved to be cleared. "The Congress must pass liability protection for companies believed to have assisted in the efforts to defend America." Believed? Don't you know?
Don't you even have the guts Dick Cheney showed in admitting they did collaborate with you? Does this endless presidency of loopholes and fine print extend even here?
If you believe in the seamless mutuality of government and big business — come out and say it! There is a dictionary definition, one word that describes that toxic blend.
You're a fascist — get them to print you a t-shirt with "fascist" on it! ..." - Keith Olbermann, MSNBC

My point was simply this, that is not the definition of Fascism. Not even close.
It is fun to call people fascist, but check the dictionary before you claim a definition.
That quote is as follows: "Fascism should be called corporatism more properly because it is the perfect merger of power between the corporation and the state."
