:This stuff was commented out not too long ago, pending citations being provided.  I don't think the article benefits much from them, frankly. 

 :As for the 2nd para of the intro, I'm going to disagree with you, Lee, that "tactics" are irrelevant.  It's tactics, much more than expressed ideology, that "earns" political figures, regimes, or militant groups the name "fascist."   Actions of both the Bush and Clinton admin's have been labeled fascistic (see [Neo-fascism#Clinton_Administration] and [Neo-fascism#Bush_Administration]), and to the extent using the term is anything more than name-calling it is mainly because the conduct so described has something to do with perceived fascist tactics. __
