The last straw
That snapping sound marks the expiration of a camel asked to carry a moonbat too far. Bob Tarantino explains.
Like Bob, I am uncertain of the importance of this latest idiocy. All I can say is that the moonbat who has spent the last few years spray-painting "Facist Post" on National Post newspaper boxes has at last figured out how to spell "fascist". Small mercies.

I remember getting high blood pressure form the "Facist Post" nonsense, and not just because of the spelling. There goes (I thought) a person who has not the faintest conception of what Fascism is. For them, the word is merely leftist accessorizing; a way of demonstrating their progressive street cred. I wouldn't have gotten so steamed if I hadn't listened to my grandparents' stories about living through the German occupation in WW II. Or watched my grandpa being startled while watching Star Wars, because the screech of a Tie-Fighter sounded like the bombing run of a Stuka bomber.

Demetrius,
You are not quite correct. For leftists today, "fascist" means "to the right of me." I agree with your unhappiness about the redefinition of the word, but that's what leftists do. Most of the charm of reading Marx comes from trying to figure out what the f* a particular word means in that particular paragraph.
I do hope you're correct, and the "facist Post" (in more formal English: "the Post isn't so*alist enough.") tagger has learned how to spell. Part of what I like about Toronto on my occasional visits is that it seems most Canadians are literate, not to mention erudite. Pity about the government, but it isn't all that intrusive for a short time.
Regards,
Ric Locke

BTW flea, your "questionable words" blacklist is acting up.

Yeah - Flea's comments won't accept the word "so*ialist" because of the word "ci*lis" - a comment spam thing, I believe.
