Care to walk me through how you come to that conclusion?
While you may wish to make that connection, the doing is all yours. I am examing the use of propaganda and rhetoric in wiemar germany as used by Hitler compared to the language Bush has been using. It has nothing to do with nazism specifically and perhaps more than most would comfortably admit with facism in general.
As pointed out elsewhere, the biggest difference is that the US today is nothing like Wiemar Germany. Otherwise Bush used a lot of the same US vs. Them, We are the Greatest, etc. rhetoric that convinced their nations to march to war.
You are right, other examples could have been used. His lesson was sloppy and lazy (IMO) but hardly worthy of suspension. Reprimand would be more appropriate.
