With the appearance of the Hitler Zombie twice in less than a month on this blog, Andrew Mathis was inspired to send me this YouTube video. He's right; it's perhaps the best commentary I've heard about the use of the Hitler analogy or argumentum ad Nazium to demonize one's political opponents.
I believe you've achieved Godwin's rule in the opening post. That will make for a short thread.
That was hilarious
Dear Wamba:
I suggest that you spend some time learning about the context of Godwin's Law. Note that it requires a Hitler comparison as a form of debate. Thus, Orac's comment is not even close.
BTW, here is a link to the original post of Mike Godwin:

Dear TheProbe: Medical science is making wonderful advances. I suggest you look into getting a humour implant.
TheProbe does have a sense a humor... he did laugh at my joke. (and NO!, I am not going to send him a replacement keyboard because of something I posted on misc.health.alternative.)... he is just particular on the use of Godwin (something I always goof up).
:)
If I might be forgiven a blatant post-pimp, the subject of my latest post makes a particularly credulous use of Godwin's Law (see referenced PDF for details).
Kev,
Oh, I've seen your latest article. Ayoub is truly a loon. David Icke, anyone?
The video's vanished from YouTube, but there's a playable version here:
