Besides...fascism kinda smells like crotch. ;)
Keep posting and we'll keep pointing and laughing.
Wow... that's you know, a great way of handling a belief that's different from your own. I'm not insulting you, just perhaps your inability/laziness to analyse an argument.
Yes, whilst comparisons between Facism and the USA are a bit strong (most of the comments he made would have matched a police state rather than a facist nation - two aren't always synomonous), surely you would be so kind as to maybe examine his argument, point out holes rather than just flatly ignore it. It genmerally leads to a better discussion - strangely enough, the forum this is held in.
Come on! Let's see some proper debating!
P.S. - This doesn't apply to the rest of you who posted - this is just to those who just rejected the argument without any justification.

Would your name happen to be Joe? Do you add unnecessary "S"s to your words?

You got it baby!
Well, a police state is a fascist state. But you can have a fascist state without martial law. How? When the people are too afraid to speak out. And Americans are a fearful bunch.
The USA PATRIOT Act gave the American government vast new authority, including secret searches without probable cause, detaining and deporting immigrants without a hearing, and expansion of government spying on political protesters, poverty groups, and minority organizations.
When it came to the war on Iraq, the administration’s lies about Iraq’s "weapons of mass destruction" and its supposed ties to Usama bin Laden showed a sneering contempt for ordinary people little different from Hitler’s.

I'm not saying anything, but perhaps to convince the naysayers, some proof is in order?

? proof? 
What newspaper are you not reading? These things have already happened and are happening everyday in the USA... it's gonna get worse! Cat Stevens is considered a terrorist for frick sake. Did you miss the mass jailings at the Republican Convention? And I haven't gotten into the many reports about people getting deported only to be tortured, police raids, etc.
Do I need to make a list here? Not sure what you're looking for.
