As taught by Green Party leader Elizabeth May:
By linking your opponents to Nazis in any way, you instantly ruin their credibility.
Oh, wait, ruins my credibility? Oh.
Well, if your credibility is fraying, here's what you do: stand your ground. And make sure it's clear that it wasn't your idea to link the prime minister to the Nazis. After all, if a journalist wrote something comparing the prime minister to a Nazi appeaser, it must be fair, and not your fault.
Sure, there are people who will say any Holocaust or Nazi argument in a debate unrelated to World War 2 is cheap and immature, but those Goebbels-lovers don't know what they're talking about.
The fact is, the longer you hold onto your original statement, and the longer you resist apologizing, the stronger you'll look.
When it comes time for organizers to decide whether or not to include you in a national debate, they will surely want the pizzaz and flair of a good Nazi comparison. I already have one ready for the big night that will steal all the NDP support: "Jack Layton has a moustache. Hitler had a moustache. Vote Green!"

Since post war studies recorded by the American Psychiatric Association (Adorno, Frenkel-Brunswik, Levinson, Sanford)
, it’s the history that dictates the “Character profiles” under Conservative authoritarianism in references to Politics “1943” .
It was Harper's own Strategy consultant that dropped the Progressive from Progressive Conservative and pushed the party backwards 74 years in time because of the $5,5 billion debt they left behind through outsourcing "Pooling Natives".
The Republicans were smart enough to distance themselves from the "Conservative" Brand Name altogether because of the association with Semitism and Discrimination.
