NAZI, one need not call names to avoid reasoned argument.
And, I have not called anyone names who didn't first
avoid reasoned argument.

What?  They were a bunch of white guys.  Isn't that bad enough?
Anyway, you're right.  NAZIs weren't recognized as being
especially evil until war time.  Why should I wait for a war to
point out who the modern American NAZIs are?

The nice thing about he word "NAZI" (and "nigger") is that that
Liberals themselves have added value to the words in an
attempt to pretend to be outraged.  It hardly bothers a Liberal
to call him a Liberal, but call him a NAZI...
