Point of Law Godwins it Right out the Gate

Point of Law, which is staunchly pro-Tort Reform, takes issue with Center for Justice and Democracy flyer, claiming

Either the staff at CJD is woefully ignorant of the past or someone there has on purpose selected imagery with an ugly, ugly history. It’s hard to believe someone would consciously choose to use symbolism that so obviously evokes anti-Semitic propaganda from the Nazi era.

Actually what it evokes, in fact, what it IS, is a Progressive-Era American political cartoon that originally depicted Standard Oil (Wiki-media).

Far be it for me to suggest the irony of calling someone ignorant of the past when you don’t seem to recognize a more then moderately famous illustration from your own country, one which I personally recall from AP High School History.

But hey, if you can accuse people of using Nazi imagery, you better do it.

EDIT: The Pop Tort, which is CJD’s blog, calls them on it.  I expect a retraction any day now.
