This is the first time I’ve seen Godwin invooked in the title of the OP, so I was hoping it was something a little different. Lock those two in a cage, give 'em a couple folding chairs, and get an announcer, and we’ve got the evening’s entertainment all lined up.
There was a thread once about some PETA campaign that Godwinized before a thread was even started.
I can’t believe I’m the only one who picks Bush. But only against Old Hitler.
Young hitler was fresh from WWI. The warfare was atrocious and often hand to hand. ( Not that I know what Hitler’s war record. )
M. Moore is damaged goods basically. He’s a minimally talented, emotionally immature, insignificant film hobbyist that is intent on foisting his skewed views on people. In other words - a jerk. GWB is also imperfect in some ways (just like everybody else) but any comparison to Hitler is extremely ignorant. He’s a good man. Oddly, liberals, democrats, socialists, anarchists, etc. don’t seem to care for him.
Which Goering? The fatass junkie or the cleaned-up version who told the tribunal to go to hell? If it’s the former, Rhummy. If it’s the latter, Goering.
Fleischer’s a complete pussy, would start begging for his mommy as soon as someone knocked off his glasses. Goebbels, easy.
Himmler would get one decent shot in, then start doing that Evil Nazi Laugh (think Raiders of the Lost Ark). At that point, Ridge sets up the smackdown. No contest.
Man to man, or army to army? Rommel is a million times the military tactician of Tommy “Supplies? Why do we need supplies?” Franks.
I’d pick (let’s get ready to) Rummy(-ble!) over both of him. Unless he had to actually fight both of him, either at the same time or back-to-back. The Rumster’s like Muhammad Ali, what with the poetry and all.
I don’t know. Sure, Fleischer is about as intimidating as Stephen Hawking when it comes to fisticuffs, but Goebbels would likely get his ass kicked by Alfalfa (even if he’s not prepared). I envision something like two drunken college freshman girls slapping and scratching at each other for 20 minutes before a winner is decided. In other words, the most entertaining fight of the night.
Yeah, Ridge would have Himmler on the canvas before the echo of the bell ringing bounced back from the wall of the auditorium.
I’d say Franks. In the middle of the fight Rommel would lose concentration, thinking “maybe this isn’t such a good idea” and then Franks would get in a couple of good sucker punches. Not enough to knock him out, but between rounds Rommel’s manager would slip him some cyanide for being unreliable.
Those of us who have actually studied history rather than just watched cartoons might take exception at this statement. Hitler was not “elected” in the sense of having personally won or even come close to personally winning a German election. Hitler was appointed by President von Hindenberg after the old fellow was assured that the cabinet around him would keep him in check. Germany had gotten to the point of revolving-door governments, ruled by Presidential decree before Hitler had gained power. It was already a dictatorship, regardless of what it claimed to be on paper.
Thus, for Bush to have gained power as Hitler did, that would have meant that Clinton had been ruling like a dictator previously and had then essentially appointed him (since Hitler was appointed Chancellor at the request of his predeccesor). Is that what you are saying happened?
