Godwin’s law. The first person to invoke the Nazis or Hitler loses the argument.

It's a stupid 'law', too. Sometimes, men are just as evil as Hitler, and bear comment. But of course, in these days of political correctness, and liberals (starting first on Usenet) citing Godwin's 'Law', Hitler cannot be named.

Look, I'm not defending the AJC. Trump might be a bad President. No, I don't think he'll be a Hitler. But when we tell everyone, "you can't mention Hitler", well, it's stupid.

Sure is. Wonder who the people in Germany would have used to apply the same "law" to Hitler....

Theory: Goodwin's Law valid today, before Hitler NO?

Hitler is just like ________? First one to use ______'s name is the loser..... Ridiculous. Dare to use that name against Hitler you are a LOSER?

See how that works? Using a horribly bad mans name to identify another's traits is not smearing when there are some valid traits and cultism's to be considered. If the shoe fits,
