As long as neo-cons refer to Dems as RATS...

...I will refer to them as Nazis.

Seeing how that is how the Nazi Party referred to the Jews.

2. I get you
A lot of the rhetoric from the neo-cons right now is lifted almost verbatim from Nazi propaganda films of the 1930's. There's a famous one that compares Jews to rats, and the language used in it could easily come from Ann Coulter. The rat analogies notwithstanding, we should be suspicious anytime large groups of the populace are referred to as "they" or "them". That's language that's use to completely de-humanize a group of people and emphasize a perception that the given group of people are an evil, disease-ridden horde who must be swept away for the good of the Volk.
