Is It Fascism Yet?

While John Dean's busy warning Americans about the rise of Authoritarianism and creeping fascism, the GOP faithful are busy humming patriotic tunes with their fingers in their ears. Not that they'll pay attention to this (or to anything else resembling reality or fact), but for their benefit, here's a list of 14 indicators of fascism. Guess what? It ain't lookin' good, folks.

UPDATE: Another take on the same theme. The author doesn't think we're "on the verge of becoming a fascist state" but argues it could happen with the right amount of putsch push. (This heat-sensitive frog feels water a bit warmer than that but our tendency to adjust to changing circumstances means there's no telling where, exactly, the boiling point is.)
