It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Hitler (A Rocky Mountain Mike Song Parody)

Another great classic Christmas song parody by Rocky Mountain Mike, celebrating life during the Trumpageddon. This time, of course, to the tune of, It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.

Life Imitates Art: Could the Donald Trump Campaign be a Bialystock Production?

Trumped! is a genius riff on Mel Brooks' The Producers, using the original Broadway (and Hollywood) stars, Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. Instead of swindling investors on the very, very bad Springtime for Hitler musical, it's the Trump campaign!

Donald Trump Obliterates Godwin's Law

Godwin's Law: (or Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1"—​that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism. -- Godwin's Law - Wikipedia

---

Godwin's Law has moved beyond internet message boards, and is now generally used as a discussion-ender in general. You invoke a Hitler or Nazi analogy, and you lose the argument. Nothing, the feeling goes, is on par with Nazi Germany. It's the ultimate in lazy and/or hyperbolic comparisons. Trump broke that rule, but in a different way than he tends to break all others: He himself negates it by himself becoming his own Hitler analogy. And it's difficult to argue with. Especially when his own GOP opposition thinks so too.

Drudge Report Compares Obama to Hitler, Stalin

Actual screen capture from January 9, 2013 Drudge Report

Ok, gun enthusiasts: it's time for the sane among you to speak out against the crazies, who are coming out of the woodwork and becoming the mainstream, public face of your movement. You're losing people like me who were formerly Switzerland on the issue, and turning us against you. When you turn freakazoid nutbags like Alex Jones into right-wing, gun rights heroes? When you start making the ridiculous, above (very shaky) comparisons between President Obama and murderous dictators? You start to look absolutely out of your gourds, and impossible to take seriously.

SIDEBAR #1: I can't help but notice when I visit some right-wing sites, how unusually ugly they are. I'm not talking about their subject matter (though it qualifies), I'm talking about the mid-1990s designs of the things. The Drudge Report is one of the least attractive-looking sites on the web, and yet it is still (unbelievably) one of the most popular sites in the world. FreeRepublic.com might be even worse (in every conceivable way). I'll be the first to say that some modern designs, with too much animated, tiled, abbreviated or self-running content can really blow as well, but these sites are just irredeemably ugly.

SIDEBAR #2: How is it that The Drudge Report manages to remain one of the web's most popular sites anyway. I know that Drudge gives his readers a menu that they love to order from. But it's just a menu! Does Drudge actually write anything besides salacious headlines? He's an aggregator who occassionally inflames with his (brief) words, and his choice of images. How does that translate in to web superstardom? I don't get it.

Photo of the Day: Rick Perry's Unfortunate Pose

Heil there. Um, I mean, hi there! This photo is sure to be a Hitler hit! Somebody really needs to fill these candidates in about unfortunate poses, don't they?

Obama, Hitler and Guns, Oh My!

OK, this is just getting out of hand. . .

Right-Wing Conference Tells Activists To Get Their Guns Ready For ‘Bloody Battle’ With Obama The Nazi



. . .If we had our guns, we would have fought a bloody battle. So, keep your guns, and buy more guns, and buy ammunition. [...] Take back America. Don’t let them take the country into Socialism. And I refer again, Hitler’s party was National Socialism. [...] And that’s what we are having here right now, which is bordering on Marxism. . .
