Oh gee look.
The left once again demonstrating not only a total lack of understanding of current events, but a total lack of understanding of historic events as well.
Typical.

Correction: Not "the left", but a cartoonist named Ted Rall who has a bad habit, IMO, of going way too far. And I've never really considered him particularly funny either.

How can a thread that started with Godwin's law still be alive?

I'll just pretend that you weren't extremely patronizing just now, and be patronizing in return by posting a definition of Godwin's Law:
Godwin's Law ___ prov. ___ [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. However there is also a widely- recognized codicil that any intentional triggering of Godwin's Law in order to invoke its thread-ending effects will be unsuccessful.
I say, again, why is a thread that started with Godwin's Law still alive?

I believe that Asimov's Law supersedes Godwin's Law. A thread can not self-terminate.

unfortunately threads do NOT adhere to the first law: That they cannot harm a human being.
