Agreed. I know Charles updinged him, but I felt a downding was needed for the Godwin’s Law violation, so I applied one. His points were good but the Nazi reference was a poor choice.

It just causes this kind of distraction, really.

And besides, I don’t think it’s the right comparison. I think the right comparison is the Lysenkoites in Soviet Russia, who believed so fervently in the non-scientific, total crap theories of Lysenko —or who knew he was full of shit but supported him out of cynical political reasons— that they caused massive famines in Russia and the Ukraine.

I think it’s more apt, and it doesn’t involve the whole Nazi thing.
