Godwin's Law Employed Against Obama

Panicked Christians and conservatives and conservative Christians are ratcheting up the rhetoric trying to move Americans happily anticipating the inaugeration of President-elect Barack Obama. Proving unmoved by William Ayers and deaf to complaints about Jeremiah Wright the fear mongers have unabashedly moved onto Hitler and the Nazis. Yesterday Christian Compares Humanists to Nazis and today right-wing talk radio host Michael Savage unearths
the "former German member of the Hitler Youth, Hilmar von Campe" to draw parallels between Obama and Hitler.

Every day brings this nation closer to a Nazi-style totalitarian abyss. Today in America we are witnessing a repeat performance of the tragedy of 1933 when an entire nation let itself be led like a lamb to the Socialist slaughterhouse. This time, the end of freedom is inevitable unless America rises to her mission and destiny.

He continues,

Obama knows nothing about Germany. The national Socialists, called Nazis, come from the same Marxist/Socialist/Communist tree as he himself.

Comparing an opponent to Hitler and the Nazis is known as Godwin's Law, or reductio at Hitlerum, and anticipates the loss of the argument.
