Watch as Michael Goldfarb makes at least three statements either appalling or ignorant in the space of a few minutes.  In the span of about eight minutes, he cheered the idea of sending ground forces into Pakistan, identified China as a fascist state and (only half-jokingly) assented to the invasion of Liechtenstein.  The man is a walking parody of neoconservatives’ obsession with labeling everything objectionable “fascist” and their reflexive militarism.

P.S. On a related hobby-horse of mine, Mr. Hounshell annoyingly calls the Chinese government an “autocracy,” but his analysis is otherwise pretty sound.
