What is the difference between the loyal opposition--critics of war policies--and crypto-Fascism? I think Citizen Smash explains it pretty well.

What's sad is that some on the anti-War side resent having to distinguish themselves from the crypto-fascist, anti-freedom, anti-American jerks. But as annoying as it must be, it's a burden they must bear. As someone who quite unwaveringly supported the liberation of Iraq, I get annoyed at having to separate myself from the Arab-haters who make up a certain percentage of those who favored the invasion. Oh well. It happens.

This is where you can find sane critism of our Iraq operation. I mean, I think it's often terribly misguided, but it's sane, and doesn't start from an "America sucks" position.

This, by comparison, is a crypto-fascist pretending to be a patriotic critic.

It's like finding out that the local KKK group favors abortion rights. What of it? Is that supposed to change my opinion on abortion either way?
