Why is it that people never tire of inflammatory, specious references to
Nazism.  This has got to be one of the most perverse forms of argument on
the net:  Make a connection between your opponent's viewpoint and Nazis (it
doesn't matter how tenuous).  Then don't say anything else because everyone
knows that Nazi Germany was one of the lowest points in recorded
civilization.  In fact, hope you don't have to say anything else, because
starting from that point, anything you try to say will only make you look
sillier yet.

(People who argue by comparing their opponents to Nazis are only trying to
win their arguments by appeal to the same empty, emotional rhetoric
approach that the Nazis used to rise to power...no, wait a minute, I've got
to work on this one...:-)
