Orwell beat me to it by 60 years

I had posted here about how fascism was losing any useful meaning with the Bushies applying the term "Islamofascist" to every Muslim not sufficiently servile to the GOP. George Orwell though, had the insight to say in 1946,

"The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies "something not desirable."

That's pretty much how it is now. Actually, go read the whole Billmon post, Orwell predicts a great of the language being used in our age terror, or whatever we are calling whatever it is we are now experiencing.
