Embarrassing.

Know what a bad thing has been? People hand waving away arguments that bring up the Nazi Party with "Godwin's Law".

Godwin's law, short for Godwin's law (or rule) of Nazi analogies, is an Internet adage asserting that as an online discussion grows longer (regardless of topic or scope), the probability of a comparison to Nazis or Adolf Hitler approaches 1.

I almost never bring up Nazis in political discussion because of this stupid "Law." You actually lose credibility in Internet arguments because they site the law and act like you're a moron. Fata that. It should be cited in every political discussion of this nature. It is possible for entire ideologies and political parties to be sick. Do they all go as far as the Nazis? No, but I'm glad you brought it up because it is a fataing fact that illustrates the point perfectly. There is a lot of grey area in political discourse, but there is also some very basic black and white.
