How is it fascist or depraved to want the rich to pay the same tax rate as everyone else? Is the desire for nationalized healthcare really a sign of the apocalypse, as many on the right would want us to believe?
I think you need to take a step back, turn off Fox News and right wing radio, and get some perspective.
Obama is not a socialist or a fascist. He's no more "socialist" than FDR. At "worst", he's a social democrat. The problem is, the GOP has moved SOOO far to the right, they can't see the center anymore.
By some accounts, Obama is the most centrist candidate since WWII.

Granted, there are fewer data points for Obama than other presidents, but it hardly squares with the right's persistent assertion that Obama is some sort of radical.
If you want to look for a candidate with fascist leanings, how about Rick Santorum? He's willing to demonize anyone who remotely disagrees with him.
