As of this writing (10:00 am ET) this ad is still running on Taylor’s blog today (full screenshot available on request). Take a close look at the image of the book cover. That’s a picture of fascist dictator Benito Mussolini on the left doing the Nazi salute. In case you don’t recognize the photo, it’s a cropped version of this one: (pic at link)

That’s Hitler on the right. You may have heard about him.

The book cover also features a photo of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to the right of the shot of Mussolini. To the average person it looks like he’s smiling and waving. When paired with the image of Mussolini it’s pretty clear what the implication is. That’s right: Barack Obama is a fascist. Charming.

Now let’s look at where you go when you click the ad approved by Democrat Taylor Marsh and running prominently on her blog. Here’s a description of the book Obama - the Postmodern Coup: The Making of a Manchurian Candidate, written by conspiracy-theory crackpot and self-published author (just like Taylor!) Webster Griffin Tarpley, that can be found after clicking on the ad:

Democrat Taylor Marsh chose to run this ad on her blog, directly under the “Advertise Liberally” banner. Taylor Marsh used to think it was a bad thing to imply that Democrats were fascists. Taylor Marsh should be ashamed of herself as should any Democratic/liberal/progressive blog who still blogrolls her. Taylor Marsh isn’t the antidote to right-wing talk anymore. Taylor Marsh is the antithesis of left-wing talk.

1. Well, when the ad scripts pick up nothing but Obama Hate, that is what they serve up

[NYCGirl]

4. These are unlike Google ads. The "advertise Liberally" spots are approved by

the blog owners, I believe.

[Yael]

9. Yes, but they still run off keywords, I believe

[anonymous171]

2. Taylor Marsh is an opportunist who is trying to ride the wave of anti-Obama sentiment

perpetuated by Hillary supporters in order to get a syndicated show.

[panader0]

12. A stupid opportunist if she hitching up to Hillary's wagon

[knixphan]

3. and a PORN-opportunist, at that.

[The Magistrate]

5. Tarpley, Is It, Ma'am?

That is one first rate loon....

[papau]

6. Taylor Marsh does not back Obama and Google places ads on her site anti-Obama - duh?

[NYCGirl]

8. Those aren't Google ads. They're paid ads approved by the blog owner. NT

[papau]

18. OK - but how do you tell that they aren't Google placed ads?

[NYCGirl]

21. Here's the company that places them. And they're on DU, too.

Edited to add: On DU WITHOUT THE TARPLEY BOOK

[papau]

34. Looks like DU is a "best buy" - but Google ad placement could also be at work

[Bullet1987]

7. I wonder if her job is at risk now at Air America?

[Jane Austin]

10. She doesn't have a job at Air America

or any other network that I know of.

[LowerManhattanite]

14. Only the network of her own mind. n/t

[NYCGirl]

15. And after this, she never will. NT

[backscatter712]

11. Godwined... n/t

[LowerManhattanite]

13. Some nutbar posted a passage from that book the other day...

...and tried to spin it as “This is interesting”.

When the mods saw it and recognized Tarpley as the lunatic LaRouchie ha's known to be, the thread-locking response was;

“Tarpley? Tarpley?

This is beyond insane (and apologies to all with mental illness because I'm sure they don't run around quoting Tarpley).”

Speaks for itself I think.

[crankychatter]

32. apparently I'm ignoring the author of that thread

the fun I'm missing, eh?

[Me.]

16. No WH Invites For Her When Obama Is Pres

Cutting off her nose to spite her face, looking in from the outside, irrelevant, marginalized...

[smalll]

17. Obama is not a fascist, but his campaign IS in the mold of mid-century fascism --

Megarallies. The Obama Youth. Grandiose, empty slogans. Post-partisan, even anti-partisan longings for "unity." An over-used, easily-recognized stylized logo for the movement (the Obama "o".) Posters and other graphics showing the Great Man, sometimes shot from below with bright, majestic skyscapes surrounding him, looking "mad hard" -- in other words, doing his best Benito-face.

[dionysus]

20. you guys have completely lost it....

:rofl:

[madrchsod]

36. oh my god are you ok?

[jconner27]

19. I would compare Obama to Bush

[EFerrari]

22. LOL!

:rofl:

[tishaLA]

23. It just reiterates a claim made by a Hillary supporter yesterday

Several times, in fact. Comparing Sen Obama's supporters to Mussolini, talking about goose-stepping, banning books, etc. They've ratcheted up the rhetoric as we head into the home stretch.

[SoFlaJet]

24. Fucking whore

.

[LTR]

25. And she's angling to take Randi Rhodes' slot on AAR

26. haha, i think that is hilarious. nobody can really take that seriously?

[americanstranger]

30. Yeah, funny like 'The Clinton Chronicles,' eh?

Let's test it:

'Ha, ha. Hillary killed Vince Foster.'

'Ha, ha. Obama's a fascist.'

Yeah, they both hold about the same comedic value.

Marsh should be ashamed of herself, but i know she's incapable of that.

- as

[zulchzulu]

27. What a saggy, skanky sot

Taylor Marsh... stick to being a porn actress.

[Yukari Yakumo]

28. Just what is that dumb slut doing now?

And why should we care?

She's dumber than mAnn Coulter. And that takes a lot to accomplish.

[knixphan]

29. ouch...my brain hurts just imagining

both of them talking at the same time...

[crankychatter]

31. unfuckingbelievable - Any Progress RE Possible Financial Links to Cinton Camp?

I'm speechless

has any progress been made on researching a financial link between THIS person and the Clinton Camp?

[tammywammy]

33. If she wants to go that way

Then she should add this pic of Hillary to her collection:




And is this another self published book?

[madrchsod]

35. i wish i could type my one word description of her but

the The Magistrate is in the house...
