'Liberal Fascism' is a Contradiction in Terms

Steve Benen points to this nutty complaint by one of the right-wingers on NRO:

"From these announcements we learn that President Obama recognizes no difference between the Jewish-Christian covenant between a woman and a man (a covenant that they will have and nurture children, if they are so blessed), and a civil contract between two persons of any sex, in order to set up a household of affection and sexual favors.

This is a relapse into paganism."

Ok, so the guy doesn't like gay marriage. Fine. But I'm sick and tired of guys like this hiding behind Judaism and Christianity as an excuse to promote their own rotten ideas.

Talk about 'Liberal Fascism'! The truth is, one of the chief characteristics of fascism -- and all its watered-down imitators -- is the constant misuse of religious and patriotic symbols. We need to call them on this every time they try to do it.
