Nazis are big these days, given the "town hells" and what passes for trenchant political commentary there and elsewhere. Barney Frank's putdown of a hitlerizer has become viral but ThinkProgress offers this clip of a misguided soul yelling "Heil Hitler" at an Israeli commenting on Israel's health care system.
I'll now make the obligatory reference to Goodwin's Law and note that the woman (who supposedly was wearing a JDF tshirt), like her kindred spirit haranguing Barny have automatically lost the debate over health care, if they ever intended to engage in one. There's some irony in noting that the person who originally pointed out the "Reductio ad Hitlerum" fallacy was Leo Strauss, intellectual godfather to the neocons.
