When you call people Nazis, there is no word left to describe the Nazis.

Not really.

Nice trope, but incorrect. And I repeat, you do your cause -- our cause -- no favors by trying to put the Nazis, fascists, phalangists, and ideological hardguys of every stripe in some "condition beyond categories" because you shut down discussion of something that needs to be discussed.

So, from the DU perspective, if they can find an inane parallel between President Bush and Hitler, it is okay to call Bush a Nazi? If someone is for gun control, our side can call him a Nazi because that is what Hitler did?

No, my friend, when someone kills millions of people in death camps, then you can call them Nazi-like. Until then, they are evil and despicable. Hillary may be at home with socialism and want power for power's sake, but I am not going to call her a Stalinist or Maoist. They are many other words that fit, some of which cannot be posted.
