that you are "comparing" and not "labeling", ok? So take a deep breath.

I am taking the position that your comparison is not the best that can be made under the circumstances, and actually muddies the waters. Because "Nazi" is such an emotionally charged word, it gets used with far too much imprecision for my tastes.

I don't think you are a bad person for misunderstanding me. I just think that when you make the Nazi comparison, you are falling into an easy trap that others have made before you and others will make after you. That doesn't make me a fascist enabler, and it doesn't make me a Bush supporter. It makes me someone that thinks words should keep their meaning.

I also think that calling me names doesn't really make your case all that well, but that might just be me.
