More than a sloppy historian

I've commented about the right claiming that fascism is from the left, while extensive research proves fascism in Italy and Germany arose from the right. Why the confusion? At the end of 2007 Jonah Goldberg released a book with the title Liberal Fascism, making the claim that it's the liberals that morphed into fascism in the 1920s and liberals (now led by Obama) will do it again. David Niewert says Goldberg is either a very sloppy historian or is purposefully misleading readers to hide the beginnings of fascism on the right. Of course, every right-wing talking head has praised Goldberg's book in an attempt to make the left and Obama look scary.
