Don't invoke Godwin's Law here, but seriously...
Edited on Sat Oct-11-08 02:39 AM by Duke Newcombe
...am I out of line in saying that I'm seeing eerie parallels between the red-meat tossing antics of McWhatever/Failin' and the type of angry, vitriolic crowds, and the mood, Hitlerian demagoguery and crowds in early 1930's Germany, prior to the Kristallnacht?

Never say "It can't happen here".

1. Kinda, except..
McCain's party didn't make the trains run on time. They crashed the stock market, instead.

2. McNasty is making nice now. "Ooopsie. Did I say Barack is a terrorist??"

So "my friends, Barack is actually a decent human being afterall"

Who knew?

Well, actually about 80% of the worlds population figured that out, WAY before you did John.

3. For today at least McCain did the right thing, I'll appreciate that for the present time at least.

4. Godwin's Law doesn't apply when you're discussing actual Nazis.
Advocating the murder of your political opponents comes close enough.
