Calling a spade a spade isn't an analogy, so, ironically, the case of actual neo-Nazis might be the only instance in which Godwin's Law fails.

Might not necessarily be a good idea to try to publish racist waffle in Britain. The law over there <a href="http:\/\/news.cnet.com\/8301-17852_3-57405599-71\/british-man-jailed-for-racist-tweet\/" target="_blank">recently took a pretty dim view</a> of some knucklehead soccer fan who took to Twitter, using racial epithets to dance on the grave (prematurely, it turned out) of an African soccer player who had a heart attack on the field.

This British expat also apologizes for Derbyshire's fuckheadedness.

(except that <em>Schenck</em> was superceded by <em>Brandenburg</em>, wherein the "imminent lawless action" test forbade the outlawing of speech whose banning <em>Schenk's</em> "clear and present danger" test would have permitted - thus raising doubt as to whether the fire example from the earlier case's obiter dicta is still applicable)

Pretty sure they're just plain NAZIs. And I am proudly on their do not resuscitate list.

Between these douchebags and the two more in OK, it seems like someone wants to crank up a full scale race war or something.
