Tweeeeeet! Flag on the play. Comparing your opponent to the Nazis. 15 yards and loss of argument.

Objection over-ruled. The comparisson is not invalidated by overuse.

It applies well here.

I'm afraid that Antoninus is correct. It has been well established that once someone compares their opponents' position or actions to that of Hitler or the Nazis they have officially conceded the argument. It's one of the older rules regarding Internet discussions. While it was originally created as an explanation for USENET discussions, it easily applies to web forums (as these were not very common at the time that the Law was derived).

Yawn. It doesn't apply at all, bozo. A country of libertinarian would have been easy prey for the Nazi war machine and would have ended up under Nazi domination. Meanwhile, our horrible, evil, sodomy-forbidding, pornography-forbidding, fascist hell-hole republic during WWII managed to defeat both Hitler and Tojo at the same time.
