Just like Bush didn't to Democratic stronghold New Orleans before Katrina hit.

Or NYC during 9/11.

Or California during the energy shortage.

What a treat.

I think I heard that under his CNBC contract he can appear on any NBC stations or network TV, but needs permission for other cable networks.

I think that is what I read.

A leader who prepares the way for a military take-over and the silencing and imprisonment of dissenters and who holds innocent people without trial for long periods of time, some of them incognito, is a Fascist.

I do not say this lightly. If you study Hitler's early years in office, Mussolini's early years in office, you see how the indiscriminate wiretapping, the memos that paved the way for claims to extreme policing powers for the federal government, the stationing of troops in the U.S. with the intention of using them for policing purposes, the hiring of mercenary, private guards and armies that answered only to the U.S. government, the use of torture, the incitement to irrational fear of a certain stereotyped minority group and on and on and on. So many of Bush's policies were Fascist or NAZI policies. I would say that the only reason that we did not have the kind of repression of crowds and free speech that was typical of the Fascist and NAZI societies was that Bush did not stay in office long enough to realize his plans.

Dr. Dean's ignorance, and the ignorance of others in the highest ranks of our party and government about the early years of the NAZIs and Fascists are what are preventing war crime trials and other trials and lawsuits against the Fascist, NAZI criminals in the Bush administration.

The evidence is there. I realize that it is inconvenient, unpleasant business, but Dr. Dean needs to look honestly at what occurred in the past eight years and understand that unless we hold war crimes and other criminal trials against the acts that went well beyond what is acceptable in our democratic system, we will face much worse in the future.

As Dean said in the interview...it is one thing to say Bush is fascist if you are online or in the public...but another to say it on TV if you are in politics.

There is no ignorance involved, it is pretty clear he and others know exactly what went down.

I won't be critical because he did not call Bush a fascist on TV.

He says too many good things to let that cloud the issue.

But that is your decision.

...where the President and most of the public are.
