I'd say that calling anyone a nazi is pretty strong language that should be used
with care and restraint. By calling someone a nazi, you are accusing them of
possessing the same moral character as a group that practiced the worst
systematic evil in human history. Even if Guliani were found to be guilty of
the things that you mention, I wouldn't call him a nazi. I'm sure that we could
find something appropriate to describe his actions, but to be a part of the most
wretched character class that has ever disgraced mankind is a charge that I
wouldn't be hasty leveling against him.
