Asking someone why they support a Nazi policy isn't a question that can be answered directly because it is a loaded question. It's like asking someone "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Both "Yes" and "No" answers give the impression that the person has in the past or is still beating his wife.
In this case, the only way to answer such a stupid question is to point out how stupid it is. It's not a Nazi policy, and if it is, then I guess that makes the UK and Canada Nazi countries, but I daresay they work a lot better at healthcare than the USA.
He could have just said "no...I do not support the Nazi party" or "maam I'm not going to argue and waste time on this nonsense." and then went on to the next question and ignored her other comments. I mean everyone knows her question is idiotic. He didn't have to point it out. That showed his ignorance. When you are a person who is elected to serve people you act like you are above ignorance and you don't drop to the same level of ignorance. Even if you want to call someone the biggest moron ever...you keep your composure and you act like you have some class.
I have no idea why people are calling Obama a Nazi and I agree it's incredibly insane. Someone has to be the bigger person...it should start with the politician. I think you are from Europe. I've seen some of the lawmakers in Europe when they meet. They actually argue and get angry. In America we don't do that or at least we don't do it in public. We argue and get our point across but we do it in a way that's a little more diplomatic.
