8. But the tone is different, now. It's not just the word
but the way it is used. Many slurs mean little without context.

And the context in this instance is around whipping up hatred around the President and casting him as the "other." Why do you think 99.999% of the people that make up the hate movement are white?

Anyone that stands in defense of referring to President Obama as a nazi make me sick. And using examples of how others were called nazi without any kind of media traction like the right is getting is a only fig leaf.
