Um, do you know what "Nazi" stands for?  Hint: its an abbreviation.

Its certainly abberant in that the PC line is that all bad guys are on 
the right (ever hear Dan Rathe ror Peter Jennings talk about "the extreme 
left wing" or "left wing liberals" even 1% as often as they talk about 
the "right" counterparts?).  I mean, remember when there was a coup by communist
hardliners against Gorbachev?  I got really mad when every source in
every news medium seemed to be describing the hardline communists as
"right wing."  I called up CNN to complain, saying "they're the
ardent communists, for crying out loud!" but he said that this
is what they news agencies were all going with viz. the labels
so that was the way it would be with CNN.  Oh, well.... par for the course.
