I don't recall the exact formulation of this maxim, but here goes: Anybody who uses the term "Nazi" in an argument, loses. Therefore, the dude on right is a loser.
(Of course, the maxim does not hold when the person/group in question really are authentic National Socialists, who were--leftists!)
Well, there is Godwin's Law: As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
Wikipedia says: "There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made the thread in which the comment was posted is finished and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress."
