You don't need a J-Dam for a bicycle thief

'Fascism and America: Comparisons between Nazi Germany and today's US government are glib, inaccurate and unworthy.'

Put that in the 'no shit sherlock' file... Where are the Marx brothers when you need them?

Is it really necessary to rebut, in a national forum, the delusional rantings of very dumb people? I get to do it here because this is just a simple blog, no great shakes in the larger scheme of things. Saying that, even I never try to rebut conspiracy theories. Thats like going into the loony bin and trying to debate contentious current affairs- pointless and aggravating. But I really don't think the Guardian should give over space to something as plainly silly as the contention that the US is in any serious way like Nazi Germany. There are zillions of really important things to discuss. Is there any way out of physically destroying Irans nuclear capabilities, say, or can we positively influence Russian politics? But discussing America's resemblance to Nazi Germany is like discussing whether the moon is made of cheese. Let the little kids discuss that at Daily Kos while the rest of us get on with genuine issues of moment.
