France Going Fascist?

I guess they don't really even need Mr. LePen to get the totalitarian thing going. The French group Liberte-Cherie reports that a member was distributing flyers in front of a building in Paris where the party in power (the UMP) was having a committee meeting, when 40 cops came out of nowhere and escorted the fellow to the nearest subway and forced him onto a train. Yet he was peaceful, respectful, obedient, and only distributing pieces of paper with an invitation on them.
