Not knowing the poster, I am charitably thinking that his point was that calling a Democrat the historical heir to the Nazi legacy is no more convincing and listenable to that person in dialogue than when it is done to a poster here in something he reads.

However, Goldberg does try to show that history, in a kind and considerate arguement and does so fairly well, IMHO.

Fair enough. I think many people throw around the Nazi label way too freely. But what really gets me is that those who throw it around the most are the very ones who share the Nazi economic ideology almost completely — but are too ignorant to know it.

It is only such ignorance that allows Hillary and Charley Rangel to get away with invoking the specter of Nazism with regard to Republican tax cuts, for example. And it only such ignorance that allows the MoveOn bunch to compare Bush with Hitler even though they themselves have much more in common with Hitler than Bush ever did or will.
