Godwin’s Law?

Godwin’s Law states: “As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.”

It’s often mixed in with Reductio ad Hitlerum: Invoking Hitler automatically makes you lose the argument.

On that basis, given the video below, should Obama bow out of the US Democratic candidacy race? ;)

(the video, by the way, is an absolutely brilliant instance of a novel Internet meme, putting new subtitles over scenes from Downfall, a good film recounting Hitler’s last days before his suicide oin a Berlin bunker - but it’s doubtless very offensive to HillDog)
