The 14 characteristics of fascists

Robert Godwin of One Cosmos does a takedown of the fevered left's latest talking point: that "research" into fascism has developed 14 characteristics that define it, characteristics which Bush naturally matches. With a combination of wit and logic, he takes them down one by one, holding a mirror to the left, and makes it seem easy. A must—read.
