elizabeth may breaks godwin's law

oh noes! Green Leader Elizabeth May is standing by her comments over the weekend that condemn Prime Minister Stephen Harper's stance on climate change, comparing it to "a grievance worse than Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of the Nazis."

i guess the global warming thread got too long, meaning breaking of said law was rapidly approaching inevitability.  angry in the great white north says this statement "deserves some analysis. "  his post is a good example of how the thread goes to hell once the law is broken.  i believe it is possible to draw comparisons (even shitty reductio ad chamberlainum ones) about history without insinuating you support the nazis.

bah, elizabeth may - next time, let's not quote hyperbolic brits.  these people grew up watching sitcoms about kooky nazis and i believe this may have skewed their judgement as far as invoking nazi germany goes.

she did this at church, which irked minister-in-training glen pearson.   interesting views, those anglicans have.  at my church, it's 100% acceptable to break godwin's law and repeatedly refer to abortion as a holocaust.
