Dems’ Calling Republicans “Fascist” is a Bit Played — and Projection

By Selwyn Duke

"The stench of fascism is in the air." So said left-wing then-governor of California Pat Brown, in 1964, while opining on Republican Barry Goldwater’s presidential candidacy. According to commentator Christopher Tremoglie, this was the first time Democrats used the “fascist” pejorative against the GOP. It would not be the last.

On a personal note, there’s an irony here for me. My father was a Republican by 1964 and a staunch Goldwater supporter.

He also fought in WWII, was captured in battle, and spent time as a prisoner of war under the Nazi regime. So he might have known a bit more about fascism than Pat Brown (or, at least, would’ve been more honest about it).

Commenting on how the fascist label has become a reflexive Democrat propaganda tool....

"So he might have known a bit more about fascism than Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown (or, at least, would’ve been more honest about it)."

Note to author, Pat Brown (Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown)'s father was governor of California in 1964. 🧐🧐

Dear Mr. Carson,

Thank you for the note. I'd had the original post corrected, but forgot to do so with the excerpt here.

It was a silly mistake. Jerry Brown is old enough so that I just didn't think to do the math.

God bless,
