Nope, no problem with users expressing Nazi statements at HuffPost... none at all.
News thread title:
Fed Failed To Tell Obama Admin About AIG Bonuses
Note: According to its FAQ: Comments & Moderation and Comment Policy, HuffPost prohibits "off-topic" comments, and those containing ethnic slurs, etc., and claims it removes such posts. And as is documented at this link, HuffPost pre-moderates its news threads, meaning that only those comments that it approves are published.
While 5 comments were pending its approval, HuffPost approved and published these two:

Six Jewish Companies Own 96% of the World"s Media "You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can"t criticize Israel¦"

What kind of maniacs say such things? And what kind of maniac spends the time to figure out how to assemble ASCII characters to post "HEIL HITLER"?
Most of all, what kind of "newspaper"* actually approves and publishes such material??? (*HuffPost promotes itself as "the Internet newspaper")
In any case, below are screen captures that validate that these comments indeed were published at HuffPost, once they were "approved."
Before HuffPost claims that this was all a mistake, or that "KQuarksSuperKollider" must be a hit-and-run "troll" who created an account just "to cause trouble" or make the site look bad, the following screen shows that he's posted 14,116 comments on HuffPost user since April 2008: 
Clearly, he/she is no "troll." Regarding the other miscreant, "HeadsuponThis", he/she is apparently a new user, with only 13 comments posted thus far (as of 6:45am on 3/19/09) --- almost all of which consist of anti-Jewish/anti-Israel slanders, on threads having nothing to do with Jews/Israel. Yet HuffPost approved and published all of his/her comments.
Note: For validation, the PDFs of this thread, and the cited user profiles, are available upon request.
========================
UPDATE: Click here to see how, thanks to HuffPost's protection, "KQuarksSuperKollider" was enabled to publish his calls for the murder of bankers, media people, etc. --- and his claims that he has the weapons with which to do it.
Might this have something to do with the ongoing allegations among certain HuffPost users (and Nazis, and militant Islamists) that Jews control all these industries, and are using them for nefarious purposes? Who knows.
Also, keep in mind that all this was happening while HuffPost continued to remove the comments from/fast-ban users who'd violated none of its terms of service, but who dared to voice opinions that its resident raging leftists disagreed with.
=================
UPDATE, June 1, 2009
Apparently, at some point since the above was published, but not before this user could advocate the murder of others (here), HuffPost decided to "ban" "KQuarksSuperKollider" Unfortunately, as is the case in so many instances like this, it permitted him to continue posting under a nearly-identical screen name: "KQuark." Wow, it takes a genius to figure that one out, eh?
And it's allowed him to post 1,500 additional comments between April 21, 2009, after which he posted urgings/threats to murder others - and June 1, slightly more than 5 weeks, as shown in the screen captures below. If you follow his comments through, you'll see that 98% of them occur on HuffPost's top news threads ---- which its 18 round the clock moderators watch most closely.

As it could not be unaware of all this, Is HuffPost really that desperate for page-views (the basis upon which its ad revenue is generated), that it would allow this all to occur?
That's a question that only HuffPost can answer.
Perhaps one day, someone will ask it.
