Streisand falls prey to Godwin's Law


iconGodwin's Law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

And when that happens, the person who invoked the comparison loses by default. Case in point, entertainer and part-time foreign policy expert, Barbra Streisand:

Bush's actions remind me of Herman Goering's quote during the Nuremberg Trials, where he stated: "...it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...all you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism..."

"President Bush and the Religious Right's greatest political weapon has been perpetuating fear."

Two words:

Global. Warming.

By the way, Godwin's law is bunk. It provides undeserved cover for those whose policies actually reflect Hitler's socialism (such as anti-tobacco).
