Hey man,

Came across your article on referencing Hitler. I was just having a conversation about this with a friend. You summed up logically and concisely what we both thought. I would go so far as to add though that even if the use of Hitler were for a purely emotional effect, even if it did nothing to help (or hurt) one's argument, it still doesn't justify the condemnation that would follow (though, of course, one's free to do that also). It's odd the way the slightest infraction now is followed by calls for retraction and apology. The latest, Hillary Clinton compares Bush to Alfred E. Neuman. I'm no fan of either (Hillary or Bush, I like Al), but big friggin' deal. And the comparison of Guantanimo to Stalin's gulags. Ok, no it's not as bad. That's not the point. The point is, does it follow the same philosophy. Stalin killed 1 person to start with. And if you are the one person who is tortured to death, then to you, yes it's every bit as bad.

Keep up the good work,
MA
