Is Obama hurting the Democratic Party by not joining forces with Hilla

[kandrathe]

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?"

Your characterization of the context in which I was writing is entirely wrong. I asked you, "Would you have condemned Hitler after he wrote "Mein Kampf", but before he acted out his sick manifesto? ". This was an attempt to see if YOU had the capacity to understand the consequences of fiery rhetoric, not an idiotic tit-for-tat comparison of Wright to Hitler. I could also draw parallels between Nietzsche as a moral compass for the social movement of the oppressed and defeated Germans, versus Cone, Wright, or Hopkins as moral compass for the oppressed and enslaved blacks. But then again, I ask myself why I bother to even attempt to discuss these things, since you are either that obtuse that you miss my points, or you are being intentionally intellectually dishonest or perhaps merely seeking to "win points" by trying to be clever.
