If something was really wrong with the club, I doubt if it would have made itself into the high school year book, harmless protesting. Could look bad.

Title edited by Mod2 to reflect that Daily Mail's story probably was bogus.

Sounds like a joke. Unlike, say, Byrd's participation in the KKK.

Is that really all that David Brock's army of bottom feeders and pond scum skimmers can find?

[mountaineer]

Wow, and he still was confirmed by the U.S. Senate for his current judgeship? Golly, you'd think someone would have discovered this way back then! 

[ABX]

Were they praising fascism or were they mocking their professor's fascist leftist tendencies with that title? If true (big IF), I suspect the latter.

This is silly. The club's name was clearly satirical, mocking how some liberals label all conservatives as fascists. Kinda like this story.

If the media tries to give this legs, their utter vapidity will be undeniable. As if......

I predict they will leave  it alone; but I could be wrong.

Too late! 

In before @geronl starts bad mouthing Gorusch.

[don-o]

Too late! 

Lots of Daily Mail reporting gets ignored by the American swill pumpers.

Back in those days too; Reagan was just elected; perhaps it's a reflection on the political atmosphere too back then.  '80-'81 would seem to be the time of most of this.

[TomSea]

This would have probably have come out at some point, in the hearings or whenever.

No, fascism meant just that back then too. Either they were being ironic, comedic or this is just flat bulls*t.

[RetBobbyMI]

Sounds like more FAKE news to me. No proof of the allegation. Tabloid journalism at best.

[geronl]

MSM brand will him with "Fascism Forever"

Consider this your left-wing freakout of the day. It seems to have started with a story in the Daily Mail after someone there got hold of Gorsuch’s high school yearbook. The Mail took what was a joking bit of self-reference written by Gorsuch and turned it into a straight story:

In other words this entire thread was about Fake News!

It gets the reaction the originator of the fake news wanted. Thankfully we have enough intelligent people here to call it Fake before it gets too far. But throw the same story on social media and you can get thousands of comments, shares, and verbal fights.
