      At the risk of sounding like Bill Maher, new rule: if you find yourself saying "Not that I'm comparing him to Hitler," you're comparing him to Hitler.

        I guess hitler comparisons are only unacceptable when you are talking about the holier than thou reichpublicans.

        Absolutely, and it's standard procedure for Goldberg whenever he's interviewing and performing his "liberal fascism" bit.

          ...which is essentially "I know you are, but what am I", but with less empirical evidence or regard for common knowledge.

      Didn't I tell you! I said last week that the next thing they would do is compare or call Obama a Nazi. Socialist, Marxist, radical, Stalinist, liberal, etc., isn't working, so now they're testing this one out.

      Epic fail for wingnuts.

      And now, here's Volkswagen, making all these cars no one wants to drive.

      " . . . Goldberg compares GM bankruptcy to creation of Volkswagon under Nazi Germany"


      Well, now Jonah, that analogy would only make sense if GM had been founded during the Obama administration . . .

        Exactly. Goldberg, wrong again.

        Didn't we bail out Chrysler before as well? And somehow we didn't turn into some national socialist nation.

        Look, if Obama starts sending out brownshirts into the streets to strike down and kill the dissenters of this country, I'll be right next to you taking up arms. But since this will never happen, let's just drop the Hitler analogies shall we? Because honestly, they make you look even drumber than you already are Goldberg you freakin' idiotic moron.

        Ah, whatever. He said NAZI and that's all the Paranoid Conspiracy Theory Crybaby's sheep needed to freak out.

        It's Fox, not Facts.

      When you have a government taking over car companies and banks in a socialist manner I guess it's only natural to compare it with some of the actions of the Nationalist Socialist Party.

      The next time you roll around town, count how many of those original 'fascist' cars are still out there vs. all the crappy mavericks, chevettes, pintos, citations, etc. that came and went in the meantime. People don't want crap and auto executives would not spent money on quality cars. Planned obsolescence is a general motors concept, after all. If the cars last too long, we won't get them back in the showroom soon enough. This disrespect for their own customers is what the free market gave Americans for car choices.

      There are rightwing pundits I dislike more, but few strike me as fundamentally intellectually dishonest as Jonah Goldberg. If his lips are moving, you know he's lying.

        It looks like Beck liked what you had to say regarding the words "intellectually dishonest". Not that he really understands it or to whom it really applies... but I'm sure it just "jumped out at" him. Probably scared him a little bit. And then he cried.
