[...] the mere mention of Nazis is a deliberately inflammatory cheap shot (as well as a violation of my previously stated ban on all mention of Nazis, which I should extend to a ban on all statements by Newt Gingrich, the herpes that pops up on the [...]

I find it absurd and ridiculous how people use a Nazi comparison to ‘de-humanize’ an argument, because, obviously, Nazis weren’t human somehow. Sure, they did inhuman things, but they were still most assuredly human.

And on that depressing note I’ll drift back into obscurity.

What enrages me most is the deliberate spread of misinformation (“death panels”) that equates health care reform with genocide.

@eleanargh – Aaaaugh I hate that shit! It’s such a silencing tactic. I’ve heard so many guys pull out, like, Dwokin and say that therefore feminists want to kill all men when in fact there have been multiple occasions of men actually shooting multiple women that they did not know in an act of violence against all women and I have never, EVER heard of any feminist even planning such a thing against men, let alone actually carrying it out.

@Becky – it’s also really disrespectful to the people who actually lived through that stuff. I mean, they want to compare Obama to *Stalin*? It shows such a complete lack of understanding of just how bad things were under Stalin, that they would compare a country where they have the freedom to even say that sort of thing without getting locked up to Stalinist Russia. I mean, real people actually had those experiences. It’s not like it’s historical fiction that never affected anyone.
