Facist:
1) often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

2) a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Straight from the dictionary, the definition of fascism. Sounds like the left-wing today. Not based on nation or race, but on ideology. The left these days seems to feel that everyone that disagress with them is evil, and they elevate the importance of agreement over the value of individual thought. They are proponents of "severe economic and social regimentation," in that they want really high taxes, they want the government's hands in every penny that moves from one place to another, they go to protests with signs like "Kill the warmongers" (that would be surpression of opposition), they want everyone to tolerate everyone else, as long as they all agree that the right wing is evil. The social regimentation is an entire essay by itself, but just to throw a few self-explanatory items that way: affirmative action, school busing, intolerance of religion (except Muslims), etc.

Look, not many people on the right really liked Clinton, and they did try to impeach him for lying under oath about what is really a minor issue, but they never said things like, "He's committed crimes against humanity and should have been executed years ago, he's evil, he hates black people, he let millions die of AIDS b/c he doesn't like gays, etc." All of those are things that have been posted on leftist websites about Reagan in the last few days, and that stuff can't hold a candle to the kind of crap they say about Bush. I don't think closed-minded, unhinged, intolerant, and fascist are inappropriate comments to make about the left today. But notice how I never said they were evil or needed to be shot or anything like that.
