Your point was made in your very first post. The quote resonated somehow, and you went about demanding political correctness.

I'm the last person to demand political correctness. I'm just hoping for something original and all you offer is tired old Nazis. **yawn**

I don't think so. But you were the first in this thread.

PS. Just because Hitler said it, doesn't make it a bad idea to quote.

And my being first is relevant because.....it's random chance that i happened to click when and where I did.

Not wrong but intellectually lazy.

It would be intellectually lazy to prefer political correctness that you demand. In fact, it would be downright stupid. Got problem? Too bad, you will have to deal with it then to run around chanting "Godwin's Law".

But hey, you don't really need to be overly demonstrative of your hatred finding any association with the idea suggested in the quote. It only proves that you condone attack first, even with lies, mantra.

"It is not truth that matters, but victory"

Cute.

Until next time you make your call to Godwin to come save you for evil EG associating ideas you condone with a quote by Hitler.

I have never, not once, used a Hitler quote to make a point, and I don't plan on starting now because I do think it's a logical fallacy and intellectually lazy.

But I promise you this: if I ever do get to a point in a debate where I have no choice, I will make sure to tell you and I say that completely sans any sarcasm.

The saddest part of the ad is not the ad itself.
With this ad:

1) At least we know who is saying it and paying for it.
2) Compared to the commercials we are going to get this fall. It is gospel truth.

Thank you SCOTUS for the Citizens United decision.
This fall, the commercials fromn both sides will make all the lies of the past 30 years put together look tame.

That is your problem. It is also YOUR problem that you found your love for attacks based on lies, have something in common with Hitler's quote. Trust me, if you quoted Hitler, I won't be demanding Godwin to show up and defend me.

Please do. I will look forward to it. At least you'd be doing something more than whine.
