yes, that very argument is coming from the right-wing nutsos like Gribbit - the same people who call Godwin's law on us realists the second we actually point out REAL fascist-like behaviour out of the current administration...

Dispatches from the Culture Wars: OMG! Obama is Jim Jones!:
That's the problem with arguments like this: they apply only to those one disagrees with. Someone with charisma that we agree with is an inspiring leader; someone with charisma that we disagree with is the next Charles Manson. A billionaire philanthropist who funds political groups that we agree with (Richard Mellon Scaife or Adolf Coors) is a civic-minded citizen who wants to improve his country; a billionaire philanthropist who funds political groups we disagree with (George Soros) is an oligarch out to destroy the country. It's all about whose ox is being gored.
