He did not write the literal word “Nazi” but he invoked Nazism. Doesn’t that trigger Godwin’s law?

Not when it’s based in reality. As you know, Godwin’s Law is targeted at people who use an ad hominen “Nazi” reference during an online flame war when they have nothing of substance to say.

I don’t believe that Mike meant his law to completely prohibit discussion of people who are actually engaging in Nazism. Like Stormfront. And Greece’s Golden Dawn party. And the burgeoning neo-Nazi party (again).
