That is certainly not the case here on CD. Some of the nastiest, most mean sprited posts come from the right. It seems not to be the case IRL, either, as people cheered when Ron Paul suggested letting people w/o HI die before giving them care.
Is this story from the same people that call Fascism a "leftist" ideology?
NAZI stands for National Socialist Party. Hitler was praised by many Keynesians in the mid-thirties. Hitler nationalized healthcare. On economic issues Hitler was a leftist.

Sounds very leftist.... doesn't it? 1- Media Must be Cleansed of Sexual Filth
Parallel to the training of the body a struggle against the poisoning of the soul must begin. Our whole public life today is like a hothouse for sexual ideas and simulations. Just look at the bill of fare served up in our movies, vaudeville and theaters, and you will hardly be able to deny that this is not the right kind of food, particularly for the youth...Theater, art, literature, cinema, press, posters, and window displays must be cleansed of all manifestations of our rotting world and placed in the service of a moral, political, and cultural idea.
(Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 10)
2- Institution of Marriage Must Be Defended
A Volkisch state must therefore begin by raising marriage from the level of a continuous defilement of the race, and give it the consecration of an institution which is called upon to produce images of the Lord and not monstrosities halfway between man and ape.
(Mein Kampf Vol. 2 Chapter 2)
3- Burn out the Poison of Immorality
Today Christians stand at the head of this country. I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity. We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit. We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press - in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess during the past few years.
(The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, 1922-1939, Vol. 1)
I hope when making reference to "fascism", people actually stop to consider the etymology of the word. Fasci is from fascio, fasces which refers to a "bundle" or collective ideal. Hardly right wing at all. Fascism is defined by a state being lead by some who has power over other state and government institutions.
Hardly right wing concepts but years of brainwashing will do that to most people.
That being said, I find that most hate and vitriol is spewed from the left. The comments made by Colmes in that article are despicable. Ted Rall comes to mind as well with his hateful cartoons. Bill Maher is another one, just pure unadulterated hate towards religion and the right. I think one of the defining pillars of the left is to create more hate, separate the people by class or race by inflaming hatred.

Evangelicalism, for example, is a collective ideal. So is the idea of a community, of state, of country. That ain't "fascism", is it? In fact, collectivism isn't owned by either left or by right. It is independent of "wing".
Fascism countered Marxism. Where Marxism emphasized on change only possible through community (hence, communism), Fascism promoted a trickle down approach and repudiated community by an authority. In fact, Mussolini (in his book, "Fascism: Doctrine and Institutions") also spelled out the architecture necessary in fascism. This design involved a dissolution of democratically elected government in favor of a republic run by corporate entities.
