No one is looking to take pot shots. Gee whiz, the republicans we're taking pot shots at Clinton from day one. Hit a nerve, did I? LOL. I know that the Clintonistas are largely behind all the political noise, still trying to create a Clinton legacy by making his successor look worse by comparison. The Clintons are still the puppeteers controlling the democrat party, and with their leftist Euro and Asia connections, can create quite the commotion. I'm not an expert in Marxism or Nazism, but studied the former quite a bit in college and have an interest in history and tyrants who have obtained and maintained power. You have no f'ing idea of what you're talking about when you glibly throw around the labels and phrases you do. Tell us, Orky, exactly how you draw the analogy between Bush and Nazism. And no cheating. If Bush were into Nazism, he would already have held a Crystalnacht and you would be gone. You're the canary in the coal mine, dorky.

info.astrian.net Godwin's Law prov. [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.
