GODWIN'S LAW CAVEATS

From AlterNet (actually, a few weeks ago):

Not to be upstaged, another foul-mouthed Ted—dinosaur rocker Ted Nugent—sprang up on the Texas campaign trail on Tuesday and spewed more predictable right-wing filth to boost Republican Attorney General Gregg Abbott’s bid for governor. The Detroit-born Ted answered Texas Ted’s prayer for discrimination by calling President Obama a "subhuman mongrel,” among other things. It wasn’t the first time he’s said it. However, this time the national media took note.

More right-wing insanity here

Would it invoke Godwin's Law in some way if I observed that Ted Nugent referring to President Obama as a "subhuman mongrel" is one of the ways that Nazis described Jews? It seems that there ought to be good faith exceptions to GL, you know, situations where comparisons to the Nazis are entirely appropriate. Like this one. Because Ted Nugent is a total racist who thinks the President is a "subhuman mongrel."
 

And he ripped off Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water."
