Jonah Goldberg just keeps hacking away:

The italics are in the original piece, but the bolding is mine. Years have gone by, but Goldberg keeps coming back to that book he wrote. He thinks it strengthens his case on the issue he’s talking about now, but what it really does is cripple it.

Liberal Fascism is part of the long line of books from Coulter, Malkin, Limbaugh, Beck, etc., that arch-conservatives lap up because it tells them what they want to hear in exaggerated, even apocalyptic, terms. It’s a “shock book”, kinda like the crap most Fox personalities have published at least once. Nice to see that some conservatives like you recognize this.

Calling Hillary a fascist neo-Hitler does no good in terms of the national discourse. Especially when conservatives claim that the Dems and Obama are the ones responsible for our current high level of polarization.

What remains of the conservative intellectual movement doesn’t take Goldberg seriously. And he apparently has no original ideas, other than painting a Hitler mustache on a smiley face, and specious garbage like “Hitler was a vegetarian, thus…”, as if that meant modern vegetarians inherently have something Hitlerian deep in their personality.
