Are Only the Nazis Certifiably Evil?

I went to see HellBoy. Having never read the comic, but intriqued by the trailer, I wasn’t quite sure what I would think of the movie.  The movie was, okay.  On a ten star scale, I’d give it a 6.375.  I would have scored it higher, if the movie hadn’t drifted into smarminess because of HellBoy’s love interest, not to mention the bland caricature acting contributed by other supporting actors.  I’m glad I only paid matinee prices for a ticket.

While watching the movie, though, I did have a thought I wanted to share.  I wondered why the Nazis are the only group that can be besmirched with impunity.  Why aren’t socialists, communists, Islamofascists, to name just a few groups with the same profile as the Nazis, besmirched with the same impunity?
