Commenter Aaron makes an important point about my description of Glenn Beck's show as an unending "violation of Godwin's Law":
No, it's not! This really is my biggest pet peeve. At most Beck's show is a confirmation of Godwin's Law -- that the longer a discussion goes, the more likely one party is to compare the other to Nazis -- but since Godwin's Law was specifically about online discussion, it's not even that.
*whew* Pet peeve subdued.
I've actually corrected other people when they've made the same mistake, so, my bad. I guess we need a new law: The longer Glenn Beck talks, the probability of him comparing liberals to Nazis approaches 100 percent.
