Zoltan in the same article you link to it says - I am not calling the Left a bunch of Nazis; that would be as wrong as calling the Right a bunch of Nazis. But, if you are willing to concede that a modern conservative is not inherently a racist, anti-Semitic bigot, then this is actually a pretty obvious point. I should say that if you can’t concede that a modern conservative is not an inherently bigoted person then, again, you are a very ignorant and silly person addled with a profoundly irrational view of politics."

In other words he isn't saying that leftists are Nazis, or that the left in the US is like the Nazis. He does consider them closer to the Nazi's then conservatives but even if you accept this as true it doesn't mean they are actually close.

I like his statement "Modern conservatives have no trouble seeing that Nazism was evil incarnate, but for generations Leftists had trouble seeing that Stalin belongs in the adjacent cubicle in Hell..." B

But I don't think there are too many stalinists in the US.
