We read:
"Far-right Austrian politicians were widely criticized Monday for comparing protests against a fancy ball that attracts extremists to the Nazis' persecution of Jews.
Vienna's Jewish community demanded an investigation into the remarks but the Freedom Pary insisted no harm was meant.
The comments by Freedom Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache and an associate were first reported Sunday on the website of the daily Der Standard, but they drew little attention until Monday.
The furor extended the controversy over Friday's far-right ball, which attracts guests who include the neo-Nazi fringe and was held this year on the same day the world pays tribute to victims of the Holocaust.
Police recorded only isolated violent incidents Friday from demonstrators outside the Viennese palace where the ball was being held. But Strache was quoted as saying the violence was "like Kristallnacht," referring to the 1938 anti-Semitic riots across Germany and parts of Austria that left streets strewn with broken glass from the windows of Jewish-owned property and synagogues. Kristallnacht was an ominous sign of the Holocaust to follow.
"We are the new Jews," Strache declared to other ball guests, according to Austrian media.

"Conservatives must not compare far-Left demonstrators to Nazis.."
Even if their tactics and goals are the same?
One of the reasons Conservatives always seem to be defeated by the radical Left is because Conservatives are, well, too conservative. And to many, that represents weakness.
Conservatives, like most Republicans, seem to believe that they must play the game of politics by some "set of rules", a notion the Left finds very amusing. It's like sending our warriors into battle where they are controlled by something called, "the rules of engagement", which for the most part means, go and fight but don't hurt anyone. And in war, as it is in politics, it's a clear formula for defeat.
The only way to defeat the Left is to use their own tactics against them, without feeling guilty about it. They sure don't.
national socialist or soviet socialist its still socialist , look at all the tragedy they have inflicted on the world .

It also belittles what the Nazis did to the Jews.
The Nazis didn't begin right at exterminating the Jews. They had to work up to it. They started by spreading the same basic kind of dehumanizing propaganda about the Jews (and others) that the left is spreading about conservatives.
