I'm pretty sure I've debunked most of this in the past, but just for the record:
1. The "Nazis" used "Socialist" in their name because, at the time they were forming, it was the "cool" think to call your party. It was no more a socialist organization than the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea is Democratic, of the People, or a Republic.
Indeed, the Nazis contended mightily with the (true) Socialists and Communists in Germany prior to ascending power, and many who belonged to those groups — if they didn't have their heads broken in by the SA — ended up in prison or the camps.
2. Yes, the Democratic party in the Deep South was radically racist, and remained the voice of Southern Conservatism for a century after the Civil War because of the Republican government of the North that defeated them then ground them down through the Reconstruction.
And then in the 60s-70s, the GOP "Southern Strategy" got all those hidebound racists to join the Republican party, where they remain today.
So …
3. Claiming that the racist Neo-Nazi killer at the Sikh temple was a liberal because (a) the Nazis have the liberal world "socialist" in their party name, and (b) the southern Democrats ("Dixiecrats") were racists is (c) doltish.
So knock it off.

These people know what they're doing – and they're very deliberately telling lies. Bryan Fischer is evil.
I don't know if it's worse to think that Fischer really believes the lunatic bile he spews forth, or that he's doing it just to be provocative and propagandistic to his audience. I'm pretty sure Limbaugh is simply a troll (in the Internet sense, among others), but Fischer seems to be authentically nuts.
