 RC>>> The Nazis' were the Ultimate Fascists, but still over the
 RC>>> top to refer to someone as such.. Hey dont feel bad, after
 RC>>> all if you were in modern day Germany, the person you
 RC>>> called a Nazi could press criminal charges on you.

 BK>>  And by your own chart, by your own claims, calling someone a
 BK>>  communist is the same fault from the other side. And calling
 BK>>  someone a socialist is not much better. Yet I don't see anyone
 BK>>  getting a warning for calling anyone a communist or socialist.

 RC> Earl is better equipped to comment here..

 RC> But the fact remains, Nazism is meant to be a slur.

 And communist or socialist is not? Wrongo!

 RC> At the very least, socialism is the direction you yourself
 RC> would not mind seeing this country take and you buddy in
 RC> the whitehouse is trying his best to take us there..

 Your ignorance should not be the driving force behind your
 commentary.

 Long ago I posted that when I left the service I swore I could
 never be a socialist, because I was convinced the government
 couldn't run anything right. Then I was in the private sector
 for a while, and realized private business was as bureaucratic
 and screwed up as the government.

 It must be part of human nature.

 There is no record of a pure individualist private sector
 economy or a pure collectivist socialist economy every providing
 a decent life for the people living under it. In any large
 numbers.

 Only mixed economies provide a decent life.

 RC> Are you saying the left wing isms are well known slurs?

 Nowhere is it said what it is, only what it is used as. Your own
 sentence above is an example. Copied immediately below.

  RC> But the fact remains, Nazism is meant to be a slur.
