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

[Jim_Curtis]

The reason that the left uses the word "nazi" is because it effectively paralyzes their target.

For example, if I'm an "artist" that wants more NEA funding, I can achieve this by calling Bush "anti-art nazi"...Bush in return will show that he isn't an anti-art nazi by giving more money to the NEA.

or, I could say "Bush is an anti-homosexual nazi"...now I can illegally issue permits for gay marriage while Bush sits back paralyzed from taking action lest he "prove my point".

or, I can bypass the whole issue oriented angle and just call someone a "Nazi!" and this person will become paralyzed from taking any kind of action at all.

...the appropriate response is to step up your actions and make them scream louder and use a decibel meter to guage your success.

If you are not familiar with Godwin's Law, you should be. It should be invoked every time "John Ashcroft is a Nazi" gets used by Liberal fools.
