Ah, he's a comedy writer. Or just intentionally ignorant.
E.g. the idea of fascism rests not upon its roots, but how it was implemented. When someone calls another a fascist, they are saying that the person prefers the government control what the people can do, the person is extremely nationalistic, and the person suppresses an opposing opinion.
Wikipedia's article handes the issue quite well, pointing out that at the least, fascism refers to an authoritarian form of government. You know, such as one that tells you what to do with your body?

The history of the two present-day political parties is so absurdly mixed up that without paragraphs of writing, I'd be lying as much as Bill Whittle is in that video. The short of it is that the Democratic party of today formed out of factions of the Democratic-Republican party. Two sides to the same coin, indeed. Similarly, the Republican party were not the ideal citizens Mr. Whittle attempts to paint them as.

The platforms of both parties have shifted and realigned many times, each trying to pander to more voters, and calling it anything but that is sticking your head int he sand.
There are some places I think he gets it right. Affirmative action is way to mire people in dependence. Michael Moore is a liar and his sensationalistic hit pieces are laughable. And those who are acting out to suppress the ability of Republicans on college campus to speak are deplorable people. However, intentionally distorting the facts to make a point? I'll pass.
