Godwin's law states:

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison to nazis or Hitler approaches one.

This is, I'm afraid to say, inevitable. I've seen it a dozen times myself. You probably have as well. You could be talking about Simpsons Vs Family Guy, Apply Juice vs. Orange Juice, abortion vs. adoption... it doesn't matter. Eventually, someone will bring in the Nazis.

Why is this? I think it is because Hitler and the Nazis are the closest things to pure human evil that recent history has to offer and the majority of people know who Hitler was and what he did. Therefore, if  you want something to be bad, you associate it with the worst things in your mind.  E.T. the Extraterrestrial  on Atari, Baby Geniuses 2,  Ed Wood, etc... but worse than all of those (except maybe E.T. on atari) is Hitler and the Nazis. And unlike our fictional bogeymen, Hitler was real, and is a constant reminder of the evils that mankind unchecked can bring upon itself.
