Oh, this is rich!

Rummy talks about Fascist appeasers to...well......ah...fascist 'agreers.'

A Tiny Revolution: Thank God No One In America Can Remember Anything About Anything Ever:

Where were both of these speeches given? At the national convention of the American Legion.

And what was the American Legion up to in the 1920s and 30s? Let's ask one of the greatest reporters of the 20th century, George Seldes:

In a interview in January 1923, Commander-in-Chief Alvin Owsley of the American Legion not only endorsed Mussolini and Fascism, but announced his readiness to do what the Duce did, that is, upset the democratic form of government, establish a reign of terror, maintain a dictatorship where the masses of people are deprived of all civil rights.

'If ever needed,' he said, 'the American Legion stands ready to protect our country's institutions and ideals as the Fascisti dealt with the destructionists who menaced Italy.'
Asked whether that meant taking over the government, he replied:

'Exactly that...Do not forget that the Fascisti are to Italy what the American Legion is to the United States.'
