Just replace Jews and Gypsies with Socialists, and the rhetoric is strikingly similar to speeches made by Germany’s far-right of the 1920s The RushBo Right can talk all about the defense of unfettered capitalism as their hallmark, but in reality it’s purely Anglo-American exceptionalism at its worst. Bait and switch tactics aren’t just for salesmen.

What I'm finding interesting is how wounded a lot of conservatives act when their hero Rush is attacked. Truly pathetic.

Remember when Bush took office and systematically began ripping out anything Clinton had sponsored whether it was good or not? Wingnuts are against all the bailouts simply because it is Obama's plan. They were against TARP I because Pelosi was pushing it (and by then Bush was dead to them anyway). Remember, these are people who want Obama to fail. The true economic royalist wingnuts would prefer that the economy crash and burn with no safety net.
