One of the really sick ironies of life in the United States right now is that those who have the most in common with the most notorious moral monsters of the 20th-century, the Nazis and their fascist fellow-travellers--namely, the various far right hate-mongers and serial liars on TV and radio, from Michael Savage to Glenn Beck--regularly accuse Democrats (the most conservative "left" party in any major Western democracy) of being fascists and Nazis. (This, by the way, is illuminating on Mr. Beck.) And like the good fascist he is, Mr. Beck is also good at inciting mindless violence against his political enemies. So, as the link suggests, it's time for advertisers to boycott Fox, and for consumers to boycott any company that advertises on Fox.
