Amazon 7 #2 October 29, 2006 And he had a rabble rouser who had his own radio show... Herr Goebbles Repeat a big lie often, and it becomes a fact to many. The bigger the lie, the better. That is how the "liberal media" myth has become fact to most on the right. Joseph Goebbles of the Third Reich new this and played it well for about a decade. The right cannot stand bad news about their people, so it automatically becomes liberal media bias, in order to downplay and discount. http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/news_theswamp/2006/07/gop_liberal_med.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's the Internet rule about credibility being instantly deminished upon the mention of der-furher? So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

pug 0 #7 October 30, 2006 Quote What's the Internet rule about credibility being instantly deminished upon the mention of der-furher? Godwin's Law Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gawain 0 #8 October 30, 2006 QuoteThere 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. This principle is itself frequently referred to as Godwin's Law. Thus Godwin's Law serves also to impose an upper bound on thread length in general. However, it is rare for the person accused of an unfair comparison to Nazism to concede the argument themselves. Therefore, the argument will likely arise in another thread if the participants have a sufficient level of emotional attachment to the topic of debate. This places the long-term utility of Godwin's Law into question. It is considered poor form to arbitrarily raise such a comparison with the motive of ending the thread. There is a widely recognized codicil that any such ulterior-motive invocation of Godwin's Law (in the above sense) will be unsuccessful. This is sometimes referred to as "Quirk's Exception". "RGB's Restriction of Quirk's Exception", also states: "In cases where the subject of the comparison to Hitler fails to recognize the applicability of Quirk's Exception, Quirk's Exception shall not apply and Godwin's Law shall take effect in its normal manner." Gotta love Wikipedia sometimes...this summary is funny. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Ciels- Michele I'll give credit that all knew it was a satirical spin off the other thread. Just in case, I'm on the record as saying Hitler was NOT a good person, in casde anyone wondered. Good thing I'm not in Austria, you can be jailed for 10 years for denying teh Halocaust, so calling Hilter a good head of state might get me death.
