Ya know… this was almost funny until StrainedGlutton showed up. Now he’s like Giuliani… a self satirizing twit.
It was FUNNY. agh…
Grow a sense of humor and have a drinking game while watching the state of disunion speechifying swagger.
On this paticular board,wouldn’t that be Ogwins law?
If I shoved Godwin up my ass three posts later somebody would bring up Shitler.
Which reminds me, capital punishment isn’t allowed in Minnesota.
I’m surprised to agree with you about something, Airman.

Wasn’t he the guy who murdered over 6 million Poos?
You win.
You know who else didn’t like Godwin’s law, don’t you?
HITLER!
Gosh, and the !!!1111ONE111!!! LOL is really clever.
Oh, trying to be over the top? Maybe you should just SAY it.

It’s approximately as clever as that which I was making fun of, Captain Obvious. Your perspicaciousness is astounding. I want to be like you so much it hurts.
Only if it’s rich juicy Jewmeat pie! [smack]
I spared myself the SOTU this year, so I have no idea how the drinking game went. What were the penalty phrases? Or was it just the oh-so-prosaic “Drink when there’s an applause line”, “Slam two shots when the Pubbies give him a standing O” kind of thing?
During disputations in medieval England, the over-the-top comparison of any minor issue to the wholesale land-title and social-class shifts attendant on the Norman Conquest and the harsh rule of William the Conqueror, was nknown as violating Godwinson’s Law. 
Anyway, Godwin’s Law can easily be sidestepped by invoking Stalin, Pol Pot or any number of governing sociopaths.
Meeting a cliche with another cliche is hardly troublesome.
By all means, please do. I can live with that. What annoys me beyond the capacity for reason is the drooling toolbags who pop in with “Godwin’s Law!” no more than three posts after someone mentions Hitler or the Nazis because it’s somehow the wittiest thing they’ve ever done. The only thing worse is when people allude to it but are to chickenshit to come out and say it, which is the basest form of idiocy (e.g., the link in the OP).
The worst cliches in the world are not necessarily the ones that make the most egregious comparisons. No, the worst cliches in the world are the ones that allow the witless to pat themselves on the back for their cleverness over, and over, and over again. Give it a rest, and give everybody a break.
Treblinka.
And you missed it.
I find Godwin’s Law really puts a cramp on any thread about European politics in the 1930’s.
