The MoveOn-Hitler scandal seems to have legs. Good.

This whole Bush=Hitler thing is old hat. Read any high school or college newspaper and you'll find several references to Hitler. It's a common practice for those with little-to-no debating or rational thinking skills to drop the 'Hitler Bomb' to make (or attempt to make) their point. Columnist Jeff Jacoby recently called the practice 'Reductio ad Hitlerum'.

Now take a look at who are the biggest proponents of leftism--young college kids or those at simlar maturity levels.

Godwin's Law is the original term. The longer an argument or debate, the greater the probability of someone mentioning Hitler or the Nazis gets to 1.
