Mike Godwin Interviewed

theshowmecanuck writes CBC Radio in Canada has just posted an interview with Mike Godwin, the originator of the famous Godwin's Law. Unbelievably it comes after a week where Canadian politicians started flinging the H word at each other. Part of the interview reads: "I really wanted people not to make silly or glib comparisons that really show no awareness of history... and I think that to that extent Godwin's Law has succeeded."

Which is exactly what everyone does to downplay the issues at hand. They point to the worst violations of the Nazis and claim "but they haven't gassed any Jews", as if that makes it ok to engage in:

- Robocalls
- Senate scandals
- Duffy
- Losing a couple of billion dollars
- Blaming all woes of the world on the Muslims instead of the Jews
- Inciting hatred and fear of the Muslim population
- Infringing on people's rights to free speech and association with Bill C-51
- Trying to implement secret police without appropriate oversight
- Repeatedly trying to spy on people over the internet while claiming that anyone who doesn't agree "is with the child pornographers"
- Guts the environmental protection legislation that prevents their industry buddies from raping the country for profit
- Censors the work and reporting of the scientific community
... and so on and so on.

You don't have to "kill the Jews" to stomp all over the rights of Canadians.

But apologists like you would like to paint the world as a happy, happy place just because mass murder isn't happening.

I noticed you handily sidestepped the way Harper is vilifying the Muslims the way Hitler did the Jews.

Hey Mike, go suck Hitler's rotten cock

Mike Godwin is a piece of shit and his so-called law is nothing more than a subtle form of censorship. People who invoke it as a means to discredit other person's point of view deserve to be drowned in their own shit.
Fuck them and fuck Godwin!
