Quote:As are your pithy and arrogant replies such as "Nice try."
You tried to worm your way out of an obvious Godwin with the feeble excuse that occasionally, people invoke it too often, and that yours was an appropriate comparison with Hitler.
Even the most cursory glance at their respective philosophies (let alone biographies) shows that to be a completely inappropriate comparison. You want to compare him to Farrakhan? Fine. But Hitler is just way beyond the bounds of reasonable.
And what do we call it when people drag Hitler into a conversation as an exaggerated comparison? A Godwin!
Hence, nice try. What else am I supposed to say? "Yes, Kandrathe, comparing a moderately controversial Chicago preacher to one of the most evil men in history in a totally reasonable and fair comparison?"
