CoS Bigwig Likens Wikipedia Ban to Nazis' Yellow Star Decree

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday June 1, 2009 @12:12AM from the stable-sane-leadership-cuckoo-cuckoo dept.

We mentioned on Thursday that Wikipedia has banned edits originating from certain IP addresses belonging to the Church of Scientology; reader newtley writes now that Scientology leader (CEO and Chairman of the Board of the linked, but legally separate, Religious Technology Center) David Miscavige calls the ban "a 'despicable hate crime,' and asks, 'What's next, will Scientologists have to wear yellow, six-pointed stars on our clothing?' During World War II, Hitler forced Jewish men, women and children to wear a a yellow cloth star bearing the word Jude to brand them in the streets of Europe, and in the Nazi death camps."

Fastest invocation of Godwin's Law ever. by Grashnak · 2009-06-01 01:53 · Score: 0, Redundant

Gee, they didn't even wait until the discussion thread to invoke the Nazis. Isn't that an automatic epic fail?
