I don't regard it as hyberbole to call it fascism. Not at all. The "Nazi" epithet would be (marginally) hyperbole, but today's GOP is most certainly fascist in every respect ... FAR, far more so than any sane person could call the (Democratic) Left "Socialism" or, even more rediculously, "Communism." Hell, I'd be happy of we had a Social Democratic Party.
