@TKelley, Politifact, and Snopes are left-wing propaganda rags and are not reliable sources. List some texts proving your points pre-1960s. If not, you're just spouting propaganda.

The problem with the modern left-wing is that they forget that Norman Thomas wasn't the first to say something similar about liberalism while he was alive about liberalism. President Ronald Reagan also said that, "Just what is fascism? Fascism is private control of private business. Isn't that what liberals want?" He said that in a 60 Minutes interview.
