Ahhh...I see as with quite a few of the Left, you have forgotten obama's promises of UE not above 8%, 500,000 jobs a month (Biden in the 2010 Summer of Wreckovery), all those shovel ready jobs that weren't...

Don't forget the pending ruling on obama and immigration.

You mean like this, that adds so much to the conversation? Maybe you should take your own advice.

How can I contribute to what you said when A) it's wrong and B) you don't know what Fascism actually is?

Tenants of Fascism

1. Support of varying degrees of "Darwinism" (the far left rejects darwinism of any kind)
2. Depends upon violence, war and propoganda to brainwash a following (the far left supports people thinking on their own)
3. Supports a top down revolution pushed upon a people, regardless of willingness (the left ALWAYS depends on a bottom up revolution)
4. Depends on directed and regulated private enterprise (the far left supports abolishment of private enterprise completely). In addition, uses industry for the benefit of "nation", this is in direct conflict with the far left.
5. Supresses workers rights of any kind, often violently reacting to strikes, unions and protests, or criminalizing it altogether (the far left is almost exclusively built around workers rights)
6. Fascism depends on feverish nationalism (the far left rejects the concept of nations at all)

It goes on and on

Now, I can pretty much already format your reply

You are going to select a state run capitalism from the past (basically Fascist), that called themselves "communist", and through the magic of logical fallacy, communism is left, and they called themselves communism, and their political actions resembled fascism, so, fascism must be leftist!

^^ The Right calls moderates anything and everything, regardless of the word-meanings - as long as the term has a negative connotation in people's minds it can be used. So Democrats are at once commies, fascists, Bin Laden lovers - doesn't matter. They count on people having the short memory and attention span of a Limbaugh audience.
Liberals are either "sociopathic haters" or "bleeding hearts". Throwing out direct opposites mean nothing to the child or the devolved neanderthal - as a child, just saying whatever it takes to get what you want at the moment.
A lie is just another tool.
They don't like Obama for whatever reason, so anything goes. I have never seen a bunch so devolved, but I guess they're always out there waiting for a political party to join and give them influence.
