Did she accuse people of being Nazis, or did she express outrage that people were waving swastikas and calling health care reform supporters Nazis?

It's an important distinction.

Tell me, what does that do to enhance your (paranoid, delusional) arguments?

You do realize that the US is not trying to be like Cuba, China or the USSR, but rather like Norway, Sweden and other Western European nations that have shown what a free-market socialist country can achieve.

That being said, they work because they have small populations with good educations and the distribution of wealth is much more uniform. The US could not go the same route as Norway without splitting up into 40 separate nation-states. That is why I'm against the current administration, not because I'm some delusional nutjob who cannot accept that a man with different skin color and a funny name is the president.

Seriously, using Nobama, 0bama, Hussein, Barry or another term (meant to be derogatory) for him just shows your prejudices and your lack of intellect and it only hurts your argument. There are some valid arguments about the merits of socialism in a nation this size, but they are lost within the paranoia and the bigotry displayed in those posts.
you need to say the same things when people say "dubbya" or any derogatory comment about Bush too.

I thought it was sad when the liberal left regarded Bush as a Nazi and even Time magazine had a front cover with Bush as the Joker. I just placed them in the moron catagory. I feel the same way about the right when they use get even tactics and call Obama a Nazi. It does us little good to do this and it just comes back around.

Mussolini is perhaps a better comparison: government and corporations in bed, threats to destroy any opponents, thugs being sent out, the propaganda, etc.

That is fascism in a nutshell. Reminds me far, far more of the Bush-Cheney administration.

Oh are you talking about Bush and his relationship with Big oil? Are you talking about his illegally and indefinitely detaining citizens who are suspected to be anti-american? Are you talking about his allowal of torture as an interrogation tactic?

I think you have your administrations mixed up, Buddy.
