A new Godwin's Law — Holocaust analogizing needs a name

With a hat tip to Ed Brayton, I note that Michelle Bachmann has compared raising taxes to the Holocaust, and now Mike Huckabee has compared raising the debt ceiling to that.

So, whether we call this a corollary to Godwin's Law or a whole new law, it needs a name. Hit me up in comments with your suggestions.

The one possible consolation? Israeli Jews, including even the most Christian-tolerant among the Zionists, say "enough" to Religious Righters who keep up the Holocaust comparisons.

That said, not all inane Holocaust analogies are by political wingnuts. Hardcore antivaxxers apparently do the same.

Ted Rall goes counterfactual history

And morphs Obama and Hitler into a new tale of American “leadership” of interest. Here’s the first graf, with ersatz (pun intended) byline and all:

WASHINGTON, NORTH AMERICAN PROTECTORATE, GREATER GERMAN REICH--From Honolulu to Portland, Maine, North American citizens of the Greater German Reich gathered on June 6th to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the victory of Axis forces at D-Day, the battle that decided World War II. Fallen heroes of the Wehrmacht and SS were commemorated at solemn ceremonies and Party rallies throughout the Reich, but the day held special meaning in Washington, which until 1945 was the capital of the former United States.

Rall says it’s part 1 of a multipart series. I’ll stand by.

Oh, that Hitler-Obama mashup? Here’s a sample:

Hitler III swept into power last November with a slogan
— “change you can believe in” — that charmed members of the Reichstag across the political spectrum from far right to extreme right. Since that time, however, changes have proven either incremental or non-existent.

If you’re a regular reader of Rall, or at all familiar with him, you know that’s just the start.

And, I'll stand by for the Obamiacs to break out Godwin's Law.

Why does Sarah Palin hate rape victims?

Why does she hate them enough that Wasilla charged them the price for criminal testing kits while Palin was mayor?

while Palin was mayor?

And why is she lying about it when she’s been caught, again, stone cold dead to rights?

Godwin’s Law be damned. Palin and McCain clearly are in the Hitler school when it comes to lies — tell big ones and tell them repeatedly.
