Amanda Marcotte: 'Dilbert Has Gone Fascist'

Imagine someone who is completely dead on in the accuracy of his predictions. Would you not want to analyze why this person is correct and listen very carefully to any future predictions he makes? Of course. That is what Jake Tapper of CNN has done but if you are Amanda Marcotte of Salon, being accurate is completely besides the point. What matters is that the winning predictions were made about Donald Trump. And who is guilty of the thought crime of politically uncomfortable prognostications in the eyes of Marcotte? Dilbert creator Scott Adams whom she labels as a fascist in the very title of her highly laughable article: Dilbert has gone fascist: The strange unrequited love Scott Adams seems to have for Donald Trump. Tossing aside any interest as to why Adams has been so amazingly correct in his analysis of why Trump is winning, Marcotte accuses Adams of dangerous thought crimes:

If Dilbert is a Fascist then is Garfield a Whig?

[tumblindice]

More name-calling from the left. Argumentum ad Mussolinium/

[BigEdLB]

Amanda WHO?

[Dr. Sivana]

But Scott Adams is officially supporting Hillary Clinton because he fears her supporters! The writer is proving his point.

[kiryandil]

Wonder if Amamda Marcotte has hired any contract killers to go after Scott Adams, even though Scott endorsed Hillary Clinton for his own safety?

Admas was worried about violent GreenShirts like Amanda Marcotte.

[Jeff Chandler]

To a liberal, a fascist if defined as a person who disagrees with them, but for a real live illustration of fascist behavior, watch the videos of the lefties terrorizing the Trump supporters.

Obviously this woman has never been to Scot Adams blog...hes states emphatically on his blog that he is neither Trump or Hillary...in fact he has a separate link to his political views and he is right they don't fit either candidate.
He likes Trump as a “great persuader” because of Adam's background in advertising and points out that Hillary has no persuaders on her staff...he volunteered to help her campaign...well for a fee...2.4 Billion dollars I think it was...but was not taken up on his offer
HE did endorse a candidate last week...Hillary Clinton...not because he agrees with her because he doesn't he said it was out of “safety concerns “ for himself to not do so...ha ha!
So fascist journalist...learn that fascism sprang from your side...the left... just like we are seeing now with the renegades chasing folks just trying to attend a republican party rally...Shame on you
and btw
Go to Hell...an I mean that in the warmest of all possible facist tones...
pffffffffff

Wait until all the Dilbert’s in America go hot you commie hag!

[FenwickBabbitt]

So Adams wasn’t necessarily fully kidding then when he wrote a few days ago that the left was trying to demonize him and Trump as evil Nazis to set up the justification for getting them out of the way by any means...for the greater good of course.

As far as I can tell Adams is more moderate than the average Republican, yet to the left he is a “fascist,” because of course only fascists could be in any way positive about that horrible, gauche, fascist Nazi Donald Trump. That makes it clear what these radicals really think of us and why many of them believe it’s fine to assault Trump supporters.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Dilbert Fascist ? He’s supporting the Butcheress of Benghazi ?

[longfellow]

Never understood that strip. It’s the male kathy.

[Ouderkirk]

If she was too weird for even John Edwards you know she is total nutcase

[sparklite2]

That is what Jake Tapper of CNN has done ...

Not only that, but Jake Tapper actually did the artwork for the Dilbert comic strip for a recent week. He did a good job of it, too. This election will surely be one for the history books, if not the Journal of Irreproducible Results.

[Trod Upon]

Dilbert went hard left, like Hitler and Mussolini?

[CodeToad]

“Never understood that strip.”

It is a cartoonmentary of corporate America. Perfectly accurate.

[Brookhaven]

Then you have never worked for a big corporation.

Having worked for a major utility company, I can tell you the strip is eerily accurate. And, the strangest stuff—the stuff you say to yourself “Nobody would do THAT”—is the most accurate of all.

"...It’s the male kathy."

Ouch, that stings!
