Been looking through these photos on Life.com and ran across this:

"The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one," Hitler said.

Massive Rally for the Reich, 1937 - Adolf Hitler: Among the Crowds - LIFE

Yeah...Shamwow's in Germany would have probably had double the conversion rate with the 'you know the germans make good stuff' line
 
Douglas Rushkoff Coercion
There's a chapter on rallies and demonstrations, specifically the Nazi ones for historical context, and a few white power ones he went to as part of his research.

As far as academics go, this guy is just amazing because he goes out and does the primary research himself, instead of being all sequestered in an ivory tower with his egg headiness.
Also, he does comic books in his spare time (and before you think that makes him worthless, Isaac Asimov actually worked as a chemistry professor, and SciFi writing was only a side thing till he was 40)

That book is the motherfucking shit - one of my favorites. It keeps a special place on my bookshelf.
 
Godwin's law by #3...

Every. Single. Time.

Yeah but you gotta admit the probability of a comparison is a little skewed since the thread originated around Hitler/Nazism, it was already halfway there.

Although we could be talking about recaulking the bathroom tiles and somebody would find a way to bring Obama into it and then start bitching. Getting pretty tedious actually.

Not really, Justo's right... the law was compromised by the very premise of the thread. Maybe Godwin could add a new one that states whenever hitler is mentioned as the actual topic an analogy to Obama will soon follow.
