What are some bad and inaccurate Nazi References you hear in the news?
Are the media doing citizens a favor by using Nazi references to describe modern day politics?

"As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."
The implication, of course, is that these comparisons don't really hold water, especially since they're being made so often. It's become a catchall for anything you don't like or anything you consider evil, completely glossing over centuries of historical detail. A lot of people say that making a Nazi analogy instantly makes you lose an argument.

Agreed with borngifted on the Obama as Nazi reference.
1. You cannot have your cake and eat it too. The people who claim Obama is a socialist (someone on the "left") and a Nazi (someone on the "right") in the same sentence need to stop and listen to what they are saying.
2. Even if the health care project was a complete waste of money, somehow saying that wasting 50 billion dollars over a ten-year-period somehow is the same as killing six million of your own citizens is just not right.

There was a word "holocaust" before there was "The Holocaust", and it is legit though possibly misleading to use it about other events in which lots of people are killed.
Similar issues related to "genocide" which doesn't just mean lots of people being killed, it means an entire people being killed. If someone dropped a nuke on London, it wouldn't be genocide, but if they killed most of the remaining members of a small Amazon tribe, it could be.
Just reread your question - Ironically, I used to know Ben (Stein) quite well many years ago (although I am quite a bit younger than he and a Democrat). He's a brilliant man - but uses rather overblown rhetoric politically. I always enjoyed disagreeing with him :)!
