Godwin’s Law Comes to the Town Halls

Godwin’s Law has the health care debate in a hammerlock.

Back in 1990, when the Internet primarily meant user conversations — sometimes helpful, other times extremely vitriolic — on discussion boards known as Usenet, Mike Godwin composed the law that now bears his name: “As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.”

In this brief interview, an older protester outside the Raleigh, N.C., office of Rep. Brad Miller, a Democrat, delivers the basic Obama-as-Hitler charge: “Hitler got rid of his undesirable citizens through ovens. Obama wants to get rid of people like me through hospice. . . . If [people] are a certain age, grim reapers calling themselves as counselors will go and tell them to take a pill and just die.”

Just who introduced Hitler in to the town halls has been the subject of not inconsiderable debate itself: “Nancy Pelosi started it,” says Powerline. Another theory has is that folks carrying the Obama/Hitler signs are Democratic plants. Pamela Geller wrote yesterday at Atlas Shrugs, there is a “fifth column manufacturing smears and lies.” Others on the right have tried to use confirmed reports that Lyndon LaRouche supporters are sporting Obama/Hitler posters at protests to distance themselves from the Obama-is-a-Nazi charge.
