I wholeheartedly agree on the importance of using words correctly. In fact, I'm engaged in just such a discussion on another thread right now. I agree there are few if any real "Nazis" here, especially if you capitalize the term. Those who use the term on these threads simply display their ignorance and lack of proper use of the English langauge. As to fascists, though, my dictionary (Random House Webster's College Dictionary, which I use because it is the dictionary most often referenced by the State Supreme Court, and thus has a certain impriteur in my line of work) includes under the definitions of facist "a person who is dictatorial or has extreme right wing views." I believe that quote accurately describes the pitiful trio. Would you not agree that each of them exhibits extreme right wing views? We can discuss that as a question of interpretation of their view. If we agree that they do, then the term facist is quite accurately and precisely used to describe them.
