Ah, somehow I missed the reference before, skimming too fast.
So out of curiosity, and this isn't me defending the comparison (seeing as it wasn't my post and all), what would you compare it to if 2A rights were infringed on? Would the undesirable state of affairs in DC and Chicago be just effective? How would you express your displeasure with the new administration's track record?
Humor me, I get the general concept behind Godwin's Law and all... but it's interesting to see how others think.
If the deeds are dire enough to warrant action no comparison needs to be made. They can stand or fall on their own merit, or lack there of. Especially not outlandish comparisons which are obviously intended to demonize. No one is going to believe Obama is the next Hitler, or anything like him. Trying to imply that off the bat shows bias, prejudice, and malice. It makes you look like the bad guy who has nothing to say that is worth listening to. It makes the person making the statement sounded like an extremist.
