CNN's Roesgen grills tea party protestor who calls Obama a "fascist," says protest "highly promoted by the right-wing conservative network Fox."

Where do you begin when you find yourself trying to talk to such obvious nutcases?

Wingnut: He's a fascist.

Roesgen: Why do you say he's a fascist? He's the President of the United States. Do you realize how offensive that is?

Wingnut: I think he's a fascist.

Roesgen: Why?

Wingnut: Because he is.

I'd love the interviewer to have asked him to define fascism because I'd bet my last penny that he wouldn't be able to define it; certainly not in a way which the rest of us would recognise it.

It's astonishing to realise that taxes are actually going down under Obama, as that's not the impression you would get listening to these headcases.
