Steve Taylor just invoked Godwin's Law and you guys are still posting responses!
Nope. He violated it, he didn't invoke it--you did. But the law says he who first violates loses. ;-) While many people jump on the Godwin bandwagon, I think it's a sometimes useful, but pretty goofy law. There are times in political discourse when reference to Nazis is appropriate. To claim that the person who made the reference has lost the argument on the basis of Godwin's Law alone is just plain silly. And because someone is likely to ask, when, in political discourse, referencing Nazis or Hitler might be appropriate, my answer is: Any time you mention Bush :-) |
