I heard the following (approximate) phone call on C-SPAN one morning a couple of weeks ago:

Caller(young female Deaniac): I don't trust Kerry because he's 'Skull and Bones' like Bush.
Steve Scully: What's the problem with "Skull and Bones"?
Deaniac: They're all Nazis.
Steve: Nazis?
Deaniac: You know, big business and industry and stuff like that.

The left has succeeded in eliminating the teaching of any meaningful history in this country, and these idiots are cancelling out our votes.

Sounds about right. When I took a class entitled "The History of Nazi Germany" last semester (after waiting 5 years to take it) the first week was spent discussing how the term "Nazi" has been rendered meaningless in this day and age because it is use by people of every ideology to describe someone in the opposition. It has become nothing more than a cheap insult that the uneducated masses throw out whenever they need a quick out of a lost argument.

From the Liberal Dictionary

Racist/Bigot/Homophobe/Nazi/Fascist- Anyone winning an argument against a liberal

I remember that call! I just for once would like to hear a commentator ask the caller what the society stands for, actually not regurgitating the media message.

You're right about the teaching of history. I was thinking, too, about all the furor (exhaustively documented on other threads!) about Mel Gibson's father "minimizing" the Holocaust. It seems to me that the left's pattern of denigrating everyone with whom you disagree as a "Nazi" is just as bad. I'm sure that Holocaust survivors, at least, can distinguish the difference. I'd love to ask the next liberal who pulls this trick: do you really compare your political disagreements with this individual to the Holocaust? You think those two events are morally equivalent? To disagree with you is just as bad as to have participated in the Holocaust? Talk about having no shame!
