The Democrats are constantly compared to Communism and Socialism, and by extension to Mao and Stalin. Here on this board Democrats are virtually daily smeared with this so turnabout is fair play. The right have their own examples in fascism as well.

The comparison of Bush with Hitler hasn't explicitly referred to Jews but right wing socialism does have many similarities with what Hitler did. Pre emptive war, corporatism, government spending to build major parts of the country's infrastructure like the Autobahns, and so on.

The right has Fascism as its ideological extreme just as the left has Communism as its ideological extreme. I'm not referring to "immediate connections to the brain", I'm referring to being able to use your brain to parse logic.
