And seriously I am pretty sure Jerry Seinfeld is in fact jewish himself, as was I imagine a goodly portion of the the entire writing staff. No one cares. I've been very close friends with numerous members of that faith, frat bros, girlfriends etc, and the things that get them bent are not that trivial. Do not let the political lunatics trying to throw trash at people complaining about their party's POTUS over the word mislead you. Thats false outrage, not legitimate.
And regardless of the over sensitivities of any individual or false whines of a political party, the term Nazi has worked itself into the language in a non-political, non-religious totally hyperbolic way that describes certain behavior or opinion as unduly controlling/judgmental/rigid etc.
eg
a person who is fanatically dedicated to or seeks to control a specified activity, practice, etc.: a jazz nazi who disdains other forms of music; tobacco nazis trying to ban smoking.
This is laughable because just a couple of months ago you got real bent out of shape when someone used the term "spaghetti monster" allegorically for the Christian god. Whether it offends you or I or not you have to understand that the term Nazi is loaded with some very awful connotations for certain people. Just admit that using the Nazi term was in bad taste and that you made an error in judgement and move on.
He can't do that because if he did then that would be like he was admitting he was wrong and everyone here knows he won't do that. he will defend suggestions he has made to the end no matter how much others show that it is wrong. so don't hold your breath thinking he will be a man and own up to making a mistake.

I always admit when I am wrong.
I am just usually right.
People who are wrong find that frustrating.
