Just a little something I threw together for my radio show, then decided to post to YouTube. Enjoy. I suggest watching in 480p, because it sounds better.

1. You jump to Godwin's law 3 times.
It's a cheep way of smearing someone (and someone who smears themselves quite easily).

There would be more creative ways to do this...

2. Well...
Repugs jump to that "law" quite often. Figured I'd give them a taste of their own medicine.

3. That's because they have no means of effective comparison.
They also jump to Osama Bin Ladin, Stalin, Mao Sze Tsung, the Joker from Batman, and Marx. All "unAmerican" according to their standards. If they provide a reason behind this it's always pathetic and ignorant.

You need to state a reason behind it instead of a simple smear...and don't over use it.

Oh well. I don't really care for some unwritten and at best, arbitrary law written by some obscure lawyer.

I've stated reasons consistently in my radio show, so it is sort of my fault for taking this out of it without my commentary. However, you may be overanalyzing it, and that's made sort of evident by resorting to that law.

5. It's not a legal law nor is it obscure. It's comedic...and pretty well known.

And I'm not over-analyzing it. I'm critiquing it. It's not effective/funny if you overuse the same literary device...especially one that is basically "going for the jugular".
