Looking at this at a non-academic view, without opening the dictionary and actually defining both terms. Think about the word fascism and what's the first thought that comes to mind? It's not a pretty picture; Nazis, WWII, concentration camps, genocide, etc. Even though fascism doesn't define that, it's what the majority would think. I'd hate to be linked to that word; my race or my religion. So Bush basically said those 'Islamic racists murderers' without knowing it, believe it or not.

Completely agreed, basically basing my argument off yours. Add to that, how about an enemy of America saying this, how would you like it? "Justice must be served for all the American psychopaths". Well, he was simply talking about the serial killers but he was extremely unspecific about it right? You'd be crying a different tone then.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
