Oh, and by the way, any valid points that the author had about the Darwin-Hitler link (which, I agree, is way too much of a stretch) went right out the window when he used the "Taliban" reference to refer to Coral Ridge. Coral Ridge Ministries doesn't go around chopping off hands or executing those that disagree with them.

Basically, using the "Taliban" reference when referring to conservative Christians should be a corollary to Godwin's Law--invoke it, you automatically lose the argument. He did, and he lost.

Bingo. That should end this pathetically ignorant thread right there.

Since Islamofascism is a direct descendant of Nazism, it seems to me that you may not even need a corrolary, since they are essentially the same anyway.

Especially when you precede that reference with the word, "thus."

Beware of this liberal substitute for reasoned thought.

I am not sure that I can accept your logic. You are saying that if the author of this article had not referred to those he criticized as "Taliban" then Darwin would not be responsible for Hitler, but because the author of the article did use the term "Taliban" to describe a Christian group, Darwin is to blame for the Holocaust?

Bingo.

You should make a motion to add to the FReeper Lexicon (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1689962/posts) the entry Brummett's Law as described above.
