  Godwins Law
In a moment of weakness, I once again tuned the radio dial to 810AM while running errands yesterday. In that 20 minutes or so that I was listening, Mr. Limbaugh committed what is usually considered a grievous, shark-jumping sin - he invoked Hitler and Mussolini, both as.... wait for it..... "socialists."

Hmmmm I wonder what he was trying to imply?

**Yes. I know that that the Nazi's used 'socialist' in their name. Any scholar (or high school history student) can tell you that Germany in the 1930s was no more socialist than the post war German Democratic Republic (aka East Germany) was "democratic." But if righties want to make fools of themselves, so be it.

Ever since Jonah Goldberg - the ultimate affirmative action/legacy hire, as he shouldn't even be allowed to read a magazine, much less write for one (even one as mind-bendingly asinine as National Review) and only has a gig because of Mommy - trotted out Liberal Fascism and showcased an incredible natural-born ability to misread history, English and politics, this load of guano disguised as a Powerful Idea has saturated the guttural noises and synapse misfires that pass for thought on the modern American Right.

So no, I'm not surprised Big Pharma has pulled it out recently.
