THE CABAL
Jonah Goldberg Hates Hugs, Whole Grains

Over at Salon.com, National Review editor Jonah Goldberg -- who is either a demagogue or historian depending on your politics -- associates liberalism with Nazism, suggesting that "this organic food movement, the whole-grain bread operation" is "as fascist as death camps and yellow stars."Red Commie Oppression: Would Jonah really turn her down?Red Commie Oppression: Would Jonah really turn her down?

He also says that Hillary Clinton is a dystopian Big Mother: "[T]he vision of the Huxleyian Brave New World future is one where everyone's happy... That's the fascism in Hillary Clinton's vision. It's not the Orwellian stamping on a human face thing, it's hugs and kisses and taking care of boo-boos. ... [A]n unwanted hug is still oppressive if you can't escape from it."

Escape from Hillary's embrace? Isn't that what Bill has tried to accomplish for the last 26 years?
