Reverse Godwin: KKK darling David Duke says Trump may help improve Hitler's image

That makes a few times I’ve heard of a “Reverse Godwin” but each time it was something different. Is it a comparison that makes Hitler seem better somehow, or comparing someone to a person comparing someone to Hitler? Or is it relating yourself to Hitler?

All of the above, I guess. Maybe we are starting to find that as the internet goes on, the probability of something being compared to Godwin’s Law approaches one? Ha, probably not, it’s hard to think of a precedent for that kind of rule.
