Limbaugh compares Democrats to Nazis

In the latest skirmish in the increasingly vicious war over healthcare, Democrats are complaining loudly about conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh comparing them to Nazis.

On his show today, he criticized Democrats' proposals on healthcare, the environment, and other issues. Limbaugh also complained that anyone who disagrees with President Obama and Democrats is demonized, when Obama's grassroots supporters are the real "brownshirts." And on Limbaugh's website, an Obama healthcare logo is put side-by-side with a Nazi symbol.

9. It's from the movie Office Space. I use it whenever some idiot invokes Godwin's Law.

Godwin's Law is basically a theory that eventually any discussion on a political matter will inevitably result in a flawed Nazi analogy or comparison.

4. Limbaugh vs. History

Limbaugh's knowledge of history (prior to 1984) is pretty limited. Back in the nineties, he once made some comments that made it clear he believed that Italy was one of the Allied (rather than Axis) countries in WWII. If he ever figures out what WWII was really all about, he will almost certainly think that the US was on the wrong side of that war.
