Has this post gone on long enough to mention Nazis yet? ;)
Godwin's Law is merely an expression of the percentage chance of when Hitler will be mentioned in a long argument (the length of the argument is directly proportional to the percentage chance of Nazis/Hitler being mentioned), and has nothing whatsoever to do with when the argument ends and/or who won the argument.
However, in conventional usage, Godwin's Law traditionally has a "he who smelt it dealt it" approach to the "winner" of such an argument, in that the person who mentions Nazis/Hitler first is declared completely wrong, regardless of the validity of anything they have actually said. This of course means that Socialized medicine is good for everyone, and all the other government assistance programs are good for us as well. ;-)
