Godwin's Law & Dobson....
Edited on Tue May-15-07 03:27 PM by 133724
"If we can lose ten we can lose a hundred," he added, “especially if North Korea and Russia and China pile on.”

Later in his broadcast, during a discussion about Iran with author and self-proclaimed “prophecy expert” Joel Rosenberg, Dobson drew a parallel between current Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad and Adolf Hitler.

“The world looked at Hitler and just didn't believe him and tried to appease him the way we're hearing in Washington today,” Dobson remarked. “You know, the President seems to me does understand this, as I told you from that meeting I had with him the other day, but even there it feels like somebody ought to be standing up and saying, ‘We are being threatened and we are going to meet this with force -- whatever's necessary.’”

Dobson continued, “Some of our listeners might not like that but I tell you, if we didn't stand up to Hitler, we'd be speaking German today.”

Godwin's law:

Corollaries and usage

There is a tradition in many newsgroups and other Internet discussion forums that once such a comparison is made, the thread is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress.

2. So now 'pro-family leaders' are 'people in a position to know ' what Iran might do?
They've all become Middle East 'experts'? "... a series of meetings convened by Christian right leaders in Washington to discuss the supposedly existential threat to the United States from a nuclear Iran."

Wow, I just love having all these 'pro-family' (read white, Christian family) leaders advising the idiot-in-chief on foreign policy, don't you?

3. "If we didn't stand up to Hitler, we'd be speaking German today," eh?

Aber, es gibt einige von uns, die bereits Deutsch sprechen können.

Feh! Essen Sie das, Herr Dobson! :P Leck mich am Arsch!
