I looked through the first three pages of hits. Not one was to an article that used the terms about the Bush administration (although there were a couple of commenters who did). They were either about Hitler and the Nazis themselves, without reference to Bush, or they were critiques of conservatives' use of the phrases to describe those they disagreed with. If you want us to believe that HuffPo's actual writers were using the terms to refer to the Bush administration, you're going to have to plow through the hits until you find some that do.
