(2,570 posts)the hyperbolic, etc use of such comparisons with a motive to end the debate, not the use of appropriate comparisons where others then misuse the law in an effort to end the debate -- like here. Absent a inarguable showing that the use of a nazi comparison is hyperbolic, etc, then those invoking the Law have nothing but guilt for an attempt to end the debate themselves.
I'd bet if I claimed that our gov was increasingly conforming to the definition of facsism the Nazi's followed -- the marriage of the state and corps -- I'd be in violation of Godwin's Law too.
To me that's what is so amusingly silly about many of the apologists of this stuff -- they are likely or think themselves to be on the front lines of the fight against the monied interests, the military industrial complex, ect, that they see as prevailing (in terms of political power, etc) in this country over we little guys, but can't see how this kinda stuff might be a part of that big picture.
and sheeple will always be oblivious
