How Jonah Goldberg can write a book entitled "Liberal Facisism" and be invited on Fox News as a political analyst.

And he's not even a comedian so there really is no excuse for a grey area there.

If by some way they spread propaganda to smear the left, they will be a top pick on fox no matter how wrong or distorted their views are.

No thanks. The synopsis by Jon Stewart was quite enough.

And...? I don't get it.

You aren't seriously going to say a conservative shouldn't be allowed to call liberals fascist, are you? I mean the irony there would be just too thick.

I pick the books I read, and I'd much rather read: The Greatest Generation, The Good Earth, Grapes of Wrath, To Kill a Mockingbird, or anything by Stephen King rather than a "bash" book. Sorry.

I guess I'll just stay ignerent...

Allowed, yes. Rewarded with a tv platform, no. Fox is morally wrong to give him that platform but legally allowed.

Jonah Goldberg is not a top mind even as conservative intellectuals go, but his thesis is not brand new or impossible to defend. I haven't read the book so I can't say whether he does a good job making the case for the thesis, but there is a certain totalitarian mindset in certain strains of liberal thought.
