Godwin's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazism or Hitler approaches One
Television personality Stephen Colbert just crossed that line. From The Hill:
Colbert mocks Trump’s Orlando response with swastika
Late-night TV host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday used a swastika to criticize Donald Trump’s reaction to the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando.
Colbert used a blackboard to create a circle of words and phrases including “Muslim,” “bad thing,” “not smart,” “radical Islam,” “something going on,” “Obama” and “Trump."
“First of all, before I figure this out, I’ve got to think like Trump,” Colbert said, tossing a bottle of pills over his shoulder. "I’m not going to take my pills. Whoo! I see patterns where none exist."
And:
The comedian connected lines on the blackboard until they formed a swastika, before erasing it and starting over.
His second diagram led to him conclude: "I hope Trump explains it soon, because until he does, that kind of looks like he’s an a--hole.”
Taking a cheap shot at a tragic incident. What a putz.
