"Nazi" policies??

The debate about health care reform is filled with all kinds of nonsense from all kinds of places. Here we have a fine citizen comparing Obama's efforts to Nazi policy during a town hall meeting hosted by Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA). Frank's response is appropriate. Watch the video on YouTube.

I don't understand how people can so casually accuse others of having "Nazi" policies. Regardless of the merits or lack thereof of Obama's health care reform, comparing it to the murder of millions upon millions of people is, indeed, an idea from another planet. To use the word so inappropriately cheapens the horror of what happened then, and uselessly distracts from important debate now.
