FBR: WDYD when someone breaks out Godwin's Law?
My cousin went kinda nuts just now on FB. Mer can attest. It went really sideways fast. She's like that, though. The cousin, not MerE. 
So when someone goes all "and then you bought a NAZI MADE CAR!" (ahem, my DH drives a MINI Cooper.... 
) I responded with "uhhhhhh... holy inappropriate Godwin's Law argument there, Batman."
I just called her out on it, but WDYD when someone jumps the crazy barrier into crazyland?
Meet Beyonce Jr.
Call me Kat =^..^=
Re: FBR: WDYD when someone breaks out Godwin's Law?
Volkswagens. I thought it was Volkswagens.
My standard FB response to someone invoking Godwin's Law is "Thank you and goodnight."
Yes, the Volkwagen was Hitler's idea. "People's car." A cheaper, German-made car for the masses.
BMW, and I assume Mercedes, made tanks and planes and whatnot during the war. And, well, GM and Ford did the same, they just happened to be on the winning, non-Jew-killing side.
But seriously? I've joked around with people about driving a Nazi car, but I can't imagine anyone out there is whacko enough to actually boycott a company 70+ years after the fact because they were conscripted into working on something for their own government, who happened to have bad intentions.
But, as Sarah Silverman says, "Jewish people driving German cars... What the hell is up with that..."

Click me, click me!
Mrs.Dobalina and I roared with laughter when we bought our car! It's German made! I LOVE Sarah Silverman with a white hot girl love.
And yet, I'm sure Ford wasn't that upset by the Holocaust. Wasn't he a raving anti-semite?
DON'T BUY FORDS!!! Antisemitic germs are catching.
Click me, click me!
ah, so. Not only is she completely misinformed (we knew MINI's were British originally, and now owned by BMW - if you flip it over, EVERY part is stamped BMW), I am the one who drives a VW!!!
FWIW, she drives a Honda... so the Japanese are cool because they surrendered in WWII??? DH wanted to point out his last car was a Mitsubishi, but its not like he got a license plate that said "Zero" on it. 
Call me Kat =^..^=
All of the Jews I know (and they're all old as fcuk, so it may be a generational thing) won't drive Fords because Ford was an anti-Semite.
oh man, all the Hasids I used to roll with would bomb around in Windstars. Some with Menorahs on top.
She drives a Japanese car?!!!!
Remind her of the rape of nanking for starters. Or how about comfort women?
God, I want to visit you so badly it's almost painful. This sounds amazing.
Im Yirtzah Hashem! Anytime!
