Namely, that whenever you mention Hitler or Nazis in any context, someone will invoke Godwin's Law without thinking about the underlying argument? If not, let me be the first.<br /><br />Now that you've demonstrated an inability to address the point, maybe you'd like to try again: <br /><br />If you rewrote the Hitler quote in plain English, I wonder what percentage of conservatives would agree with it. A large majority, surely.<br /><br />Do you agree or disagree? Pick one option, then support your position with facts and evidence. But don't waste our time if you can't or won't answer.<br /><br />If you're too dense to imagine the rewritten quote, I could rewrite it for you. Then the question would be free of a Hitler reference but just as legitimate. Do you need my help, or can you can think beyond a grade-school level for yourself?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-23776793689276003902011-08-08T17:43:53.386-07:002011-08-08T17:43:53.386-07:00http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

Similar criticisms of the "law" (or "at least the distorted version which purports to prohibit all comparisons to German crimes") have been made by Glenn Greenwald.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-28600944880581973182011-08-05T07:12:38.631-07:002011-08-05T07:12:38.631-07:00Plus, it's obviously fair to call someone a Na...Plus, it's obviously fair to call someone a Nazi if they talk about exterminating races.

He talks about the "White race", yet goes on to wage wars against other White nations as well as killing and murdering untold numbers of White people(not including Jews). Sure Hitler was a ingenious maniac who merely used the German people to achienve <br />delusions of grandeur. He hated Germans as much as he hated the Slavs.<br /><br />Evidently, the "race" idealogue is now imbedded into everyday living. From politics and such. You see it in movies, hear about it in music. And read about it in the news. Heck, even our laws are being created on the concept of "race"(see S.B.1070 in Arizona).Shadow Wolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-4990966004266687182011-08-03T15:54:45.640-07:002011-08-03T15:54:45.640-07:00GODWIN'D!

Given how Hitler felt about Jews, it's hard to tell which he thought was worse. However, he had no plans to invade America <a href="http://darth.wikia.com/wiki/For_now" rel="nofollow">for now</a>. Maybe in a half-century. He loved South Africa, however; he and Ronald Reagan had that in common. In fact, Hitler planned to split Africa between (from north to south) Italy, Germany, and South Africa.<br /><br />I should point out that Hitler's "second book" is a forgery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
