Our "regular posting community" prefers (very slightly more) subtle codewords, like Chamberlain and other random Godwin's Law demonstrations Chamberlain was no traitor and nobody here said he was. He was an honorable man who pursued a rational diplomatic policy which turned out to be disasterously mistaken. You may think we all must play by a Godwin's Rule which forbids any mention of the Third Reich, no matter whether it is done soberly and in context or not, but it's not so, and I for one do not grant you the right to triumphantly wave a Godwin's Rule yellow card just because someone mentioned Chamberlain. If this is all the evidence you can muster that opponents of the war are being called traitors, it's pretty poor. Rush Limbaugh is not a member of administration. (Besides, for every inflammatory Limbaugh quote you can find, I can dig up a matching one from Ted Rall and his ilk.) You said that the Bush administration called its opposition traitors. I'm still waiting to see your evidence.
