- You can edit a section by using the edit link to the right of the section heading
"With some protesters comparing the President to Hitler and the plans as Nazism."
Apart from being a grammatically incorrect statement, this phrase really seems to beg the question (at best) or even project Godwin's Law (at worst). I don't see how this contributes to the article at all, and frankly I believe it should have been left out. --NauticalMongoose
- Maybe "and the plans as akin to Nazism." would have been better but it seems moot now as the offending section seems to have been deleted. Yes the arguements are juvenile and laughable, but its a true reflection of the arguements raised by the anti reform commentators, and you're not the first to raise Godwin's Law.
