a fascist is someone who believes the needs of the state are greater than the needs of the individuality. That's exactly the opposite of my point, god youre fing retard. What the hell, Rob. come on. If you are going to try putting my in my place, atleast have the decency to wiki the words before using them. Fascism is more in line with the neo-conservative point of view (not by crazed ideological hate, but by factual analysis). Anyway, as I was saying, blah blah, you guys are idiots. in before ban.--[[User:Onionblossum|Onionblossum]] 13:45, 12 September 2007 (EDT)

==Have you no sense of decency?==
Peter D. Feaver of the ''[[Boston Globe]]'' noted on the sixth anniversary of the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks]],
{{Cquote|In the spring of 1954, the US Senate convened hearings at the instigation of Senator [[Joseph McCarthy]] to press his anticommunist investigations into the Department of the Army....the American public was able to witness firsthand the tactics McCarthy used to intimidate his foes. ...At a critical moment ... Welch turned to McCarthy and memorably intoned: ''"Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"'' It was remarkable political theater ... We may be about to witness a [[McCarthy-Army]]-Welch moment in the debate over Iraq. This time, the role of McCarthy is played by MoveOn.org, a [[liberal]] political group that launched its own attack on a respected US Army figure. In yesterday's ''[[New York Times]]'', the day that General [[David Petraeus]] would give his long-awaited, [[congressional]]ly mandated report on his military activities in Iraq, MoveOn.org ran a full-page advertisement that accused Petraeus of activities befitting a traitor. The advertisement alleges, without [[evidence]], that Petraeus is not going to give his honest, professional assessment...The MoveOn.org ad is vicious ... a deliberate attack on the senior Army commander, in a major daily newspaper, with the intention of destroying as much of his [[credibility]] as possible...part of an elaborate effort to undermine public support for the [[Iraq war]], and was foreshadowed by an unnamed [[Democratic]] senator who told a reporter, "No one wants to call [Petraeus] a liar on national TV . . . The expectation is that the outside groups will do this for us." The effort is funded by powerful [[special interest]]s, and has all the trappings of a major political campaign.<ref>[http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2007/09/11/moveons_mccarthy_moment/ MoveOn's McCarthy moment], By Peter D.
