Be careful of Godwin’s law.

Did you ever consider that Hillary's people may have invented Godwin's law in order to protect her?

Godwin is a lefty lawyer. He promulgated this “Law” to preempt the obvious comparisons between communists, fascists and progressives. It’s just another attempt to stifle speech. Sure the Hitler comparison is thrown out too much. But with the DemoncRATs actively calling Trump a Hitler it;s time to take the gloves off. Liberals ARE fascists. Liberals DO use violence easily and as something far from a last resort. It is their first default position whenever they are opposed and the opposition doesn’t knuckle under to their sick rhetoric.

Godwin’s law only applies when you have a baseless comparison to Hitler, because you have no other real argument.

In this case the comparisons are real.

OTOH, it’s used to stifle recognizably legitimate comparisons more often than not.

Godwin’s law example would be something like. Hitler was a vegetarian thus vegetarians are like Hitler.
