Thread Name: Obit: Margaret Thatcher Dead (1925-2013)
Subject: RE: Obit: Margaret Thatcher Dead (1925-2013)
Godwin's Law (redundant, but you seem to want to cling...) was never intended to make people scared of mentioning Hitler or the Nazis. Godwin himself acknowledged that it was fine to mention Hitler or the Nazis so long as the context was appropriate. In my case, I was trying to point out to that simpleton ake that, just because you win elections, you are not necessarily bestowed with wisdom and a great sense of fair play and justice. If anyone thinks I was trying to compare Thatcher with Hitler, they were misreading what I said. Simple as that. Thatcher was a terrible person, but she was no Hitler. OK now, The?
