There's a pretty big jump from conservatism to fascism, and an even bigger one from conservatism to nazism. Just because he has received funds from someone who may have funded Hitler before his policies were known (and I would like to note here that Winston Churchill was quoted in the mid 1930s as claiming that Hitler was a "Fine man, who would help solve the economic crisis in Germany"), does not mean that he is attempting to create labor camps and kill people in America.
As for billybobama, I'd like to see specific links to the quotes in question, and then I can formulate an accurate response.

What does genocide have to do with fascism? Your thinking of the holocaust.
Fascism is an authoritarian governing ideology that involves nationalism, statism, militarism, corporatism, populism, totalitarianism, anti-communism, racism and opposition to economic and political liberalism. Almost all of those fit with modern day america...The only thing left is to go further down the road of totalitarianism, which is happening every day. How many of those concepts have we seen expand throughout the two Bush's reigns, and how many of their antithesis have we seen repressed?
As someone mentioned, bush's grandfather likely wasn't talking about the genocide of the nazis because he wouldn't have known much about it at the time (though I'm sure he would have liked the idea when he did hear about it). He's talking about the ideology...the ideology of oppression.
