Dear Roman: I disagree, and,---- I agree. In some circles this term has come to mean as you have described, in other circles, especially where there is a Jewish back ground haunted by memories of the holocaust, you and Michael are totally off base. I can think of no four letter word, invective or insult that would prick the heart of an individual whose family was decimated by the horrors of WWII and the holocaust than to be referred to as a Nazi.
To prove a point go out into the street and use the work Nigger to a black man and see what happens. Words do mean something and this event has crossed the line. It seems to me that those who come from a Liberal/Socialist point of view seem to think of every body who is conservative as a Nazi. Personally I am conservative and I consider the tag Nazi as an insult. If you wish I could return the favor but I choose not to stoop to that level.
