Only when the comparison doesn't make sense.

Option 1: the Godwin's Law threads need to stop. Also "Hitler Ate Sugar" is one of the most intellectually lazy arguments around.

Hitler is feeling very offended by such comparisons.

I see that clip has been used a lot.  Anyone know what movie it's from?

(and this is very clever satire, btw).

Of course. Fascism is a very European concept; there are fascist parties in Europe, but not here.

since one of the tenants of being a Nazi was a race of pure Aryan blood, I don't see how they can be nazis

Absolutely.  And it's further evidence of the desensitizing of people to things that they really should be affected by.  It's ignorant and deeply offensive and disrespectful to suggest that Hitler's actions were on the same level as opposing abortion or something like that.  There are only two things that can really rile me up and anything relating to Hitler or the Holocaust is one of them.  I think it's obvious what the other one is if we all remember my freak out about a month ago.

I don't know about "overboard," but I do think it shows a lack of understanding to the complexity of political leadership and this mind-numbing need to force people into two different boxes (left or right).

I called two people Adolf last night, one was just a girl going to a "ladies night" party and I was just like that's discriminatory and asked "Adolf, how about I hold a white people's night party" you know but I don't remember the second person
