Prometheus 6

All respect and no restraint

Let's blame Obama for Madonna's artistic lapses

There is no room in decent discourse for comparing a candidate for president to Hitler.

Seriously though...suppose the comparison is apt? This position blinds you to the rise of demagogues by defining them out of existence.

Because it's not just the President people apply Godwin's Law to. Given our pretense that we are our aspirations, we'll pretend we reach the standard we pretend Presidents have attained. We know for a fact there are Nazis and haters and bigots and mysogynists thinly veiling their intent. I would say the Pat Buchanans and Lou Dobbses of the world really do represent their demographic better than the public speeches of the Republican Party but given that Confederate English is a different language than News Anchor English, it's possible they are speaking directly.
