The Hitler Zombie Appears at a White House Party
It is widely accepted that Model's Rule applies to any and all discussion on the internet. We can now include the Bush Administration.
The Rule says that when someone is losing an argument, and has tried every rhetorical trick, every lie, every misrepresentation possible to rescue their argument, that the last thing to make its appearance is the Hitler Zombie. The other side is Hitler-like and/or nazies/and/or appeasers like Chamberlin.
Monday, Rhummy dug up the Hitler Zombie. Bush was close on his heels on Tuesday when he not only dug up the unlovable critter, but gave it a whiff of oxygen to try to bring life into the war in Iraq (Operation Fuckin' Disaster) arguments. As is true with all the ressurections of the Hitler Zombie arguments, they failed.
The last hope of the Repugs for November 2006, died again with a stake through its heart and worms crawling in and out of its moldering body.

I agree with your frustration of the Hitler reference. I blogged on this a while back and I called it the nuclear option. When you can not argue, you simply call someone a Nazi or Commie and go from there. There is no real debate in that.
You're a Nazi commie, John. ;)
Lib-guy .. does that mean I have won???
Local blogger Michael Soetaert (holygrailpress.blogspot.com) posted a recent comparison of Fascism and the Bush regime. I've read it several times, and many of the parallels discussed ring true to me. My plans to post a similar commentary have now been moved to the front burner.
No, it means I was using the opportunity to be sarcastic.
"Naw... not YOU!", you say? Yes, shockingly, I am capable of sarcasm...
