TownHall.com: Conservative Columnists: Jonah Goldberg: "But that is, in fact, exactly what Jesse Jackson and similar activists would have people believe. 'In South Africa,' Jesse Jackson once said, 'we call it apartheid. In Nazi Germany, we'd call it fascism. Here in the United States, we call it conservatism.'

Of course, this is a hideously deceitful thing to say. But there's a purpose behind it. Many on the left are quick to throw around the charge of racism, sexism or homophobia as a way to delegitimize anyone who disagrees with them. Hence if you don't toe the liberal line on affirmative action you're racist or sexist. Or if you don't favor gay marriage, you're an anti-gay bigot. "
