Godwin's Law

[Sloth]

An Internet adage that addresses people's tendency to compare their rhetorical opponents to Hitler / Nazi Germany.

[Indy Pendance]

First one to say Nazi on a thread loses the arguement. This thread was lost before it started.

[Capn TrVth]

Google it, it's worth the read, but Lefties are so twisted and dishonest that it turns out, -Godwin's Law only applies to -Conservatives-,

It's confusing, but Godwin's Law doesn't APPLY to the Lefties.

They get to bandy about the Hitler references til the cows come home.

Godwin's would be a good law, -IF- the Lefties were forced to abide by it.

[Publius6961]

Godwin's law (also Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an adage in Internet culture that was originated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states that:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1 (i.e. certainty).

After typing in "godwin's law" into google, it took 4 seconds for that to pop up.
Took a lot longer to cut it and paste it here.
