VIDEO: Hitler reacts to the Doritos baby commercial

I had thought before today that these "Hitler reacts" videos long ago jumped the shark just because it was so easy to apply them to absolutely anything. But just because you can do it doesn't mean you can do it well, and that takes us to today. Behold the true elevation of a genre, my friends: (video below) There is this stupid notion that goes around the Internet called "Godwin's Law," which is supposed to establish that the first person who brings up Hitler in an argument has lost the argument. Screw that. The people who say that are idiots. Hitler was a real historical figure who perpetrated evil on a massive scale and took rhetorical tactics not so unlike those we see today to horrifying extremes.

If you didn't see the original tweet from NARAL that actually turned this into a news story, take a little trip back with Father Tiresius. These are exactly the tactics the abortion crowd - and more broadly, the secular left - uses to shut down discussion and get their way. You mock. You shame. You change language. You intimidate. You make people feel like it's just too much trouble to go against them, which is why they retreat and cede territory. No, they're not Hitler. They're just operating from his playbook, whether they realize it or not.
