Um, yes he does refer to feminists in general as "feminazis" and I have heard him do so many many times. He makes no distinction among differing degrees of feminism.
And even if he was more specific about it, this would still be extremely offensive...not only to women but also to anyone who considers careless use of the term "Nazi" offensive (and I am guessing a lot of people do) .
