Nope, no problem with users expressing Nazi-like statements at HuffPost... none at all.
According to its FAQ: Comments & Moderation and Comment Policy (more documentation here), HuffPost prohibits "off-topic" comments and those containing ethnic slurs, etc. And as is extensively documented here, contrary to what it says in the above links, HuffPost pre-moderates comments on its news threads --- meaning that only the only comments that appear on its news thread are those that it has reviewed and approved.
On March 18, 2009, HuffPost's top news thread was entitled:
Fed Failed To Tell Obama Admin About AIG Bonuses
While 5 comments were pending its approval, HuffPost reviewed, approved and published these two:

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¦"

Below are screen captures that validate that these comments indeed were published at HuffPost (according to HuffPost, once they were reviewed and approved):
(Q: What kind of sick individual actually spends the time necessary to figure out how to arrange ASCII characters in such a way as to display "HEIL HITLER"? A: Never mind --- we don't want to know.)
Slamming the "Flagged As Abusive" button located beneath each comment made no difference; the posts remained.
Before HuffPost claims that this was all a mistake, or that "KQuarksSuperKollider" must be a "troublemaking troll" who created an account just "to cause trouble" or make HuffPost look bad, the following screen capture shows that HuffPost has allowed him to post 14,116 comments since April 2008 --- an average of nearly 1,300 comments per month:
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 reviewed, approved and published all of his/her comments thus far.
Note: For validation, the PDFs of this thread, and the cited user profiles, are available upon request.
========================
UPDATE 1: For the next two days, HuffPost continued to review, approve and publish "HeadsUpOnThis's" Nazi-like statements --- and even his urgings and solicitations for support to commit genocide upon Jews
As noted earlier, at the the time HeadsUpOnThis's comments that opened this article were published (6am on May 19), he was up to 13 comments. By 11:30am on May 21, HuffPost had reviewed, approved and published another 125 of his comments, including:
- Anti-Jewish conspiracy theories and slurs ("zionazi pigs," "Chosenites," "animals")
- Explicit calls to murder Jews en masse, the means to do it, and solicitations of financial support
- Assorted other anti-Israel, anti-Jewish hatred
The following are some examples, as pulled from his comment archive, preceded by indication of the top HuffPost news thread at the time, upon which they were posted:

Below are just a few of the pages from "HeadsUpOnThis's" comment archive, which demonstrate the above (full documentation available upon request):
It should also be noted that while HuffPost was reviewing, approving and publishing such "comments," it was also routinely removing the comments from and/or fast-banning non-violating users whom its resident "gang" of raging leftists complained about. Abundant proof of this is coming in a future post here.
========================
UPDATE 2: Click here to see how, four days later, 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 raging leftists who post comments* at HuffPost that Jews control all these industries, and are using them for nefarious purposes? Who knows.
(*which must be reviewed and approved by HuffPost before they appear)
=================
UPDATE 3: HuffPost eventually "banned" KQSK, but allowed him to continue posting as (shock!) "KQuark" --- and it continues as of June 10
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 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.
Page 61 of KQuark's profile (25 comments per page), taken on June 1 (click to enlarge):
Page 1 of his profile, taken June 1, showing 4,102 total comments:
From June 10, showing 4,625 comments, meaning that in the previous 9 days, HuffPost had reviewed, approved and published more than 500 additional comments from "KQuark":
And before HuffPost can claim that it doesn't know whether or not "KQuarkSuperKollider" is in fact the same individual as "KQuark," the fact is that he advertised himself as such --- and his "friends" on HuffPost recognized him as such.
===========
UPDATE 4: By Oct. 26, 2009, HuffPost was still permitting "KQuark" to post at will... even though he admitted that it rejects 50% of his comments
By October 26, 2009, HuffPost had reviewed, approved and decided to publish more than 5,000 more comments by "KQuark," as his comment profile then showed a total of 11, 889 comments:
But even that's not the whole, sordid story of another instance in which HuffPost continuously enables certain users, while fast-banning others who stand up to them.
On October 25, 2009, at another blogsite that "KQuark" posts at, "PlanetPOV," he even admitted on this article that HuffPost refuses to publish 50% of the comments he submits, or removes them after-the-fact:
And yet, while all this was going on, HuffPost was continuing its practice of censoring and banning non-violating users who dared to challenge or mock such users as "KQuark" --- some, after as few as six comments; see:
HuffPost's protection of the most egregious violators of its "policies" --- and its banning of non-violators --- often on a minute-to-minute basis
KEY QUESTIONS
As all this occurred all over its top news threads, these questions are worth pondering:
What kind of a website would allow such incidents to occur?
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?
Do HuffPost's advertisers, and the numerous top politicians and entertainment figures among its "official bloggers," know about incidents such as those documented in this blogthread, and others on Huff-Watch?
In its own interest, being that it reportedly believes it is "the future of journalism," HuffPost really should answer these questions. Perhaps one day, someone in a position of influence (or authority) will ask them.
