1994: Rwandan hate radio compares Tutsis to cockroaches.
The director of the human rights organization, African Rights, Rakiya Omaar, was following the events from northern Rwanda.
"In Rwanda they referred to Tutsis as cockroaches," explains Omaar. "They were not human beings. This is very important to understand, [there are] very close parallels to what happened in Hitler's Germany. [They said,] 'Don't worry, you're not killing humans like you. You are killing some vermin that belongs under your shoe. You're killing cockroaches.'"

Godwin's law (being abused here of course) doesn't actually say that. First, he didn't even mention Nazis, just eliminationist rhetoric. Second, the rule only indicates a tendency for discussion about innocuous things to degenerate into discussions about Nazism. It does not apply to instances in which people start spewing some serious Nazi shit.
So there. (Godwin is a cool guy)

Josh, I enjoy your posts and, even if I sometimes don't agree, generally respect your point. I have to depart here; your headline does a disservice to feces.
