No it isn't.

Conservatives are routinely called "Nazis" or "fascists" when they have absolutely no sympathy for either of those political movements and actively detest them.

Leftists bridle at being called "socialists" or "Communists" even when they espouse Marxist doctrines, invoke class warfare and wear Che Guevara T-shirts.

An opponent of affirmative action is in no way a "Nazi sympathizer". But someone who supports Castro is quite explicitly a Communist sympathizer.

So true. The online Democratic bulletin boards have a very visible communist and communist-sympathizing fringe. Their presence is accepted. They're just part of that culture.

It's really kind of disconcerting the way Democrats comingle with the ideological enemies of this nation, shamelessly and with virtual impunity. I saw a girl prancing around the library in a Che Guavera t-shirt just the other day. It's almost surreal.
