I'm sure I have a lot of things in common with German Neonazis like wiping my ass and brushing my teeth. But if I would agree with them in a major political question like in this instance the right of Germans (based on deeds, of course) to take back much of the Western part of Poland I'd think at least twice about it.

Yes, the argument is an instance of "guilty by association" but not by a meaningless association like Bible reading but by agreement in a major political question. That might make you think.

The meaningless guilt by association would be if I remarked that your Mudcat name has the same vowels as Hitler. That would be a stupid attempt to smear your name for something that has nothing to do with what you have posted.
