This is certainly a legitimate topic for discussion, but I get the impression that most of the Hitler afficianados are more interested in spouting off as opposed to any substantive discussions.<br /><br />I should note that this also applies to people that make the socialist, communist, or fascist comparisons.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-48280932209487908542009-09-08T19:17:31.537-05:002009-09-08T19:17:31.537-05:00Yawn.

I was tired of the Hitler comparisons years ago</i><br /><br />Given the actions of our government over the last decade (torture, lack of habeas corpus, spying on citizens) I think you should dust off jaded perspective.

I am reminded of Goodwin's law, which states:<br /><br /><i>As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.</i><br /><br />This has since been expanded to include:<br /><br /><i>...any threaded online discussion: electronic mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, and more recently blog comment threads and wiki talk pages.</i><br /><br />Personally, I think that James Wolcott is making a silly argument. I would guess that most of the use of "Hitler" has more to do with hyperbole and lazy arguments than any obsession with Hitler. The Left certainly made frequent use of Hitler throughout the Bush Administration. Was this part of an obsession?steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-89002584421306234372009-09-08T13:57:34.683-05:002009-09-08T13:57:34.683-05:00A you-betcha in every pot.A you-betcha in every pot.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-70284269746464091972009-09-08T13:36:00.057-05:002009-09-08T13:36:00.057-05:00I can.
