I went to groups.google.com and did a search for usenet posts using the word "nazi" http://groups.google.com/groups?q=nazi
Every single hit among the first page of hits was an appropriate and relevant use of the word nazi,
This was incorrect: Eight of the first ten posts were appropriate uses of the word "nazi". Two were inappropriate. Scanning subsequent pages, a substantial portion were bogus uses of the word nazi -- IBM sold Hollerith machines to the nazis, Bush's family did business with the nazis, etc. Strange how such transactions are evidence of nazism, while trading with Cuba is not evidence of communism. However although inappropriate uses of the word "nazi" are common, they are not so common that any use of the word "nazi" can be automatically discredited. --digsig James A.
