Very weak and unconvincing attempt by Kevin Williamson to refute Perkins' thesis.
Williamson makes blanket assertions without backing them up. "Not many things are very much like Nazism"? Why? Because today's fascists are not speaking German? Would you prefer using Pol Pot as the example? Would that be in "better taste"?
Williamson is guilty of making a distinction without a difference. The actions and words and goals of liberal fascists look pretty similar to those of the Nazis in the early days when they were consolidating their power. The eliminationist rhetoric is certainly similar. The drive and desire to muzzle their opponents via the use of State-initiated force certainly appears similar. If you replace the leftist demagogues' circumlocution of "the 1%" with "the Jews", exactly how would their sentiments conflict with those of the Nazi demagogues?
Williamson seems to think that it's somehow not polite to compare some peoples' Nazi-like goals with Nazis. Truth-telling (a.k.a. "an offense against good taste") hurts, doesn't it, Kevin?
