I'm not saying that liberals are blameless, but you and some of the others here are so one-sided in your criticism, as if you believe that conservatives can do no wrong whatsoever.
There are plenty of governments around the world which can be characterized as oppressive and "like fascism" (as you put it), although their track record indicates that conservatives are extremely selective and inconsistent in picking and choosing which oppressive regimes they'll oppose versus those they'll support. That's where conservatives lose credibility, making their charges against liberals as "useful idiots" as completely without merit or substance.
Must be selective reading on your part. I tend to point my criticism at liberals more often, because I used to think of myself as being one (as ex-smokers can be the most aggressive anti-smoking advocates). If you pay attention though, you'll find I'm perfectly happy to denounce the fundy-right, and ignorant asshats such as Sanity.
Perhaps, although I was responding mainly to your point about liberals being "useful idiots." In this context, I don't see how that can be the case. I also don't think that the comparison between Islamism and fascism will hold water either, especially since there are many hawks denying that they're racists because Islam is not a race. If that's the case, then Islamism can not be compared to fascism, since Islam is not a nationality. Only nations can be fascist, not religions.
