I think you suffer from the same problem Jews does when talking to europeans, you simply _do not_ compare _anyone_ to nazis. If what they do is bad enough it does not need comparison, and comparing to nazism is so overused and childish that no one takes such an argument serious. It is this observation that lead to Godwins law, and it covers any political discussion where I come from.

fits the definition much better, only to have everyone miss the point 
completely :).
