Limbaugh wants to be precise: "fascism is a more apt illustration of what Obama is establishing"

From the August 27th edition of Premiere Radio Networks' Rush Limbaugh:

Precise and Rush are two words which don't seem to go together.
well i am sure you understand the illustration part really well as i believe thats how you live isnt it under a illusion that you are some body.
And his brain-dead "dittoheads" are more fans of Rush than even the most rabid of Michael Jackson.
"Rush is just our dreamy beloved, and can say NO wrong!"
Rush has always been a fat, lazy good-for-nothing liar.
Yeah, OK Rush you're a definite moron.
Obama is not "establishing" anything anywhere near fascism. If you think he's so fascist, I'm sure you'll give up your government provided broadcast license right? Can't have the government helping you, or holding you back right? I mean, you should be doing it ALL ON YOUR OWN. You wouldn't to get the Obama-cooties right?
Since we have what I like to call, the Constitution, in the United States, and since we have co-equal branches of the government all looking after one another, I'm pretty sure fascism, barring some sort of grand military coup, will never come through.
And again, you're an idiot. Shut your pie hole!
When Rush and his ilk are staring out from the razor wire at Gitmo, I'll give the Obama = Totalitarian equation some serious thought.
Fascism, from wikipedia:
"Fascists believe that nations and/or races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being health, vital, and by asserting themselves in conflict against the weak. Fascists advocate the creation of a single-party state. Fascist governments forbid and suppress criticism and opposition to the government and the fascist movement."
From Merriam-Webster online:
"a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition."
A single-party state sounds just like Karl Rove trying for a 'permanent Republican majority'.
Perpetual conflict? That sounds like the 'never ending' war on terror.
Suppressing opposition? Well, if you have an outspoken critic whose wife is in the CIA, just 'out' his wife, right?
Dictatorial leader? Like one who had been appointed by a conservative Supreme Court rather than elected by the people, for instance.
So far, on my score card Rush, Bush/Cheney are the fascists. You should really quit pushing this idea, because it doesn't reflect well on current conservative leadership. Anyone who is able to think independently will not only see through your inability to understand political theory, but will realize how close we came to fascism under Republican leadership. You think Republican approval ratings are bad now...
