The Nazis were not the only people in history to come up with propaganda slogans. My guess is you made this connection for two reasons:

1) You couldn't think of any other well-known slogans off of the top of your head
2) You like linking things you dislike to the Nazis, because they are the most well-known recent example of human capacity for evil and terror

Of course 'they hate our freedoms' is too simplistic. But what one-sentence slogan describing an incredibly complex phenomenon isn't? I don't get why people just can't make arguments about contemporary politics without marshaling the memory of the most horrifying crimes of the 20th century to add weight to their points.
