You see, softball, fascism and socialism are essentially the same in that they both believe a central authority should control the economy

Let me pause to admire the incredible reach of that statement and then point out all I did was point out that in 26 posts that started about a Congresswoman's recovery the phrase Nazi came up. From a conservative site, to a fellow conservative. So, does that mean that the fellow in post 26 is really a Nazi and is accusing the OP of being one?

I’m not sure what you’re asking.

My point is that Godwin and his fellow followers of Saul Alinsky invent terms like that as a form of ad hominem attack to discredit anyone who violates their “law.”

They especially do that when one of their opponents uses an argument that is entirely valid.

Here’s GoPM’s law:

“Godwin’s law is a logical fallacy.”

So there ya go.
