Jonah Goldberg confuses Jon Stewart on Daily Show
01/19/08
My friend turned me on to this video of Joanh Goldberg on the Daily Show. Since I'm in the middle of reading Liberal Fascism, I interrupted my normal youtube viewing, Cumbia videos, and gave it a shot.
Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning by Jonah Goldberg
Jon Stewart is totally at a loss here and out of his depth which is usually shallow enough for even him to reach the bottom. Notice how Stewart completely misses the point. He swallows the line that modern liberals are for individual freedom. Really? So, mandated health care, universal and compulsory pre-school, higher taxes, hate crimes, hiring and firing rules, and light bulb inspections translate to greater liberty? Right.

Wow. Way to oversimplify among the most abstract of concepts. Bully for you.

What abstract concept? Fascism is not Abstract. The whole point of the book is to define it clearly and show its roots.Goldberg is critical of Republicans and Dems alike.
Neither take critisism well.
