Real anti-fascists

[gordonzola]

As some idiot incoherently tries to sell a book arguing that liberals=progressives=communists=fascists and only right-wingers are really for freedom, let us take a moment to remember a real American anti-fascist. Let's also remember that the people who went to fight fascism in Spain, when many right-wingers and industrialists were cozying up to it, were hounded by the US government, labeled "pre-mature anti-fascists", and blacklisted or jailed.

Is there anyone more deserving of a (theoretical of course) punch in the face right now than Jonah Goldberg?

Yeah! I worked as an assistant for the real deal, Ruth Davidow, a Veteran of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, who snuck over the Pyrenees when she was a teenager, to be a nurse on the front lines of the Spanish Civil War. Though she was a peace-loving gal, she`d be spitting flaming tacks about now, if she were still around!!!!

wow, I didn't know you worked for her. Your awesomeness has reached new levels.

Aw, shucks! Yeah, she was pretty much at the top of the awesomeness charts. I feel so lucky I got to know her. She was in her 80s and coming to all of the Enrique musicals at stinky, loud nightclubs! I hope someday to be half as cool as her.
