Ooooh Godwin's Law!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law


Yes, be sure and read it, esp. this:

It is considered poor form to raise such a comparison arbitrarily
with the motive of ending the thread. There is a widely recognized
codicil that any such ulterior-motive invocation of Godwin's law
will be unsuccessful (this is sometimes referred to as "Quirk's
Exception").

[....]

However, Godwin's Law itself can be abused, as a distraction or
diversion, that fallaciously miscasts an opponent's argument as
hyperbole, especially if the comparisons made by the argument are
actually appropriate. A 2005 Reason magazine article argued that
Godwin's Law is often misused to ridicule even valid comparisons.
