Godwin's law

Godwin's law states:

As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

The law has been extended to blogs, and rightfully so as Jerry Fuhrman shows at From On High. He manages to compare Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama to both Adolf Hitler and Chairman Mao.

So you're a McCain man, then, Jerry? Or are you on the Hillary bandwagon?

I'm all for a little rhetorical flourish now and then, but sheesh.

  1. The funny thing about the Hitler comparison is it's usually done by libs who imply Hitler was a right winger, when in fact, the Hitler regime was the very essence of a leftist dictatorship.

  2. I believe it was Hillary's flying monkey Geraldine Ferraro who tossed the unclothed emperor Obama to the dogs. Now Hillary has gone after the unsuited one's pastor as well.

    I told you not to count Her Highness out just yet. She still has a few more tricks up her royal sleeve. The Roanoke Time editorial staff will bow before her yet.

  3. I agree that Her Thighness shouldn't be counted out; I just don't understand why some conservative talk show hosts want her to have an ounce of life. When the serpent is down, you step on its throat.
