Over at Tacitus and Drudge much foaming at the mouth is occurring over ads submitted to the Bush in 30 Seconds contest. I noticed that of all the conservatives I read, only Dan Drezner has so far had the integrity to acknowledge that the GOP is equally susceptible to violations of Godwin's Law:

Dean wants to muzzle his Democratic competitors, too. He believes the Democratic National Committee should shut them up. His followers try to intimidate other presidential aspirants by surrounding the cars delivering them to their rallies and chanting to drown out their speech. Of course, Dean denies any foreknowledge or blame.

These are the techniques employed by Hitler's Brownshirts. Had Goebbels enjoyed access to the internet, he would have used the same swarm tactics as Dean's Flannelshirts.

Well, of couse they are--Hitler, after all, won a plurality of the vote.

UPDATE: Moe at Obsidian Wings joins in the denunciation of the Peters column. It's reassuring to see that people like that are apparently as far on the fringe of the right as the people doing the MoveOn ads in question are on the left.

Another update: The incomparable Billmon weighs in.
