  Nixon was not a fascist, although he was sufficiently dislikeable to be called many unpleasant things.

  GHW Bush was absolutely not a fascist.  On the contrary, he has a distinguished record of WWII service where he put his life on the line in very dangerous circumstances in the service of his country defending democracy.  To call him a fascist is to do a disservice to an under-rated president.

  GW Bush may have been a tool of the oil companies, but fell a long way short of being a fascist.  On that ground, there were others in his administration who might more fairly be criticised.
