Actually, that would be a pretty ridiculous argument. The MSM also wholeheartedly supports the eating of food and the breathing of air - I guess if you eat or breathe, you must not be a true conservative.

OTOH, there was another crevo thread within the last week in which one of the posters stated that 'Hitler was a Creationist' and quoted Mein Kampf to demonstrate that Hitler believed in Intelligent Design.

So by implication if you advocate intelligent design, by that logic, you'd be a Nazi.

Full Disclosure: Hitler also developed the concept of the Volkswagen (~= "people's car) as well as pushing for the German equivalent of the US Interstates (autobahn), long before the US Interstate system was started in the 1950's... So if you are driving your Tuareg down I-95, you're a Nazi...

Cheers!

And millions of jews refused to buy them for many decades.

The same Nazis who worshipped Hitler tried to discredit Relativity because Einstein was Jewish.

The truth of a scientific idea is unaffected by the ethnicity or morality of the person who discovers it, and it is unaffected by the good or evil use to which it may be put.

You must try to keep in mind that there are certain pro forma elements to these threads, formalities that must be attended to before the chaos can properly begin - much like playing the National Anthem before a Cubs game, in fact. The Hitler-as-creationist bit is, by now, a stock refutation-by-analogy to the creationist argument that pops up quite regularly, that some prominent atheist/communist/cannibal/what-have-you also believed in evolution, hence evolution invariably leads to/causes/promotes atheism, communism, cannibalism, gay marriage, white pants after labor day, and failing to put the seat up prior to urination. Of course the Hitler-as-creationist story is absurd - that's the point - but I'll wager if you work backwards on that thread, you'll find the yin that preceded that yang somewhere ;)
