Eva Braun Is a Pretty Useless Metaphor, Too
Captain's Log, the blog, nicely summarizes why no thinking adult can compare current geopolitical actors to Nazis and retain any moral influence in her argument.
When will our politcians understand that Nazi analogies amount to an almost-certain political jinx? We don't need to debate the relative merits of one form of fascism and oppression over another; they're all bad, grown-ups know it, and those who don't won't learn anything from sound bites like these...
We're not even asking for brilliance here, people. Just plain common sense. If you are an elected official, and the word "Nazi" starts to escape your lips, please please PLEASE squeeze them shut.
This request, it goes without saying, applies equally to bloggers. No more Nazis, folks. No more gulags. Treat the victims of each madman with the dignity they deserve.
