General Discussion

When it comes to watching MSNBC/CNN, Stephanie Ruhle is my absolute fave, bar none. I find her to be bright and interesting, with a great on-air persona.

And although the spawn of Lucianne cannot stand tRump, to say he's intellectually challenged would be kind. 20 or so years ago I had an interest in learning more about f(F)ascism. I acquired books by Robert Paxton, Stanley Payne, Roger Griffin, Zeev Sternhell, and others. Several years after this his book came out. I wasn't about to buy it, but noticed a used copy for sale as I was walking through a store and decided to spend $3 or so on it. I never read it, just skimmed through it - even I could tell it was a biased joke.

January 2010, the History News Network published essays by David Neiwert, Robert Paxton, Roger Griffin, Matthew Feldman, Chip Berlet and Michael Ledeen confirming my take by criticizing Liberal Fascism. These reviews denounced the book as being "poor scholarship", "propaganda", and "not scholarly."

And of course, his opening and New Rules are always (usually) fun.

Thanks for posting!
