  1. This attack doesn’t work any more. People go to the source material rather than rely on the media to characterize things for them and the media are so over the top that it sets off BS meters. Continuing to do it is a big mistake.

        1. Right RIght Dishonest much still pictures of the arm extended how bout the video of how it got there did they go to the chest then out? . Why no video of all these instances?

  2. I always find the inclusion of Franco in the fascist pantheon amusing, but for mostly personal reasons.

    My Dad once got into a barroom argument with Patrick J. Buchanan at the St. Louis Press Club, when Buchanan was a columnist at the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Buchanan railed against Franco’s fascism, why my Dad merely pointed out that Franco accepted Hitler’s help to defeat Stalin’s attempt to install communism Spain, but refused to side with the Axis in WW-II. In short, my Dad’s position was that Franco saved Spain from communism without imposing the kind of fascism espoused by the Axis. Buchanan’s retort was “Ray…you’re a right-wing extremist!”

    A week later, Buchanan’s Globe Democrat column praised Franco as the savior of Spain from Stalinist communism.

    I only heard my Dad’s side of this, and have tried to confirm it with Buchanan, unsuccessfully. But I consider it recreationally true, because it gives me a shorthand way to summarize my political upbringing – as the son of a man who was called a right wing extremist by Patrick J. Buchanan.
