Self-Godwinification?

Up here in Canada, we've been following the immigration controversy to the south of us with interest. We know about the cross-country pro-immigration protests on May Day, we know the far right has been fighting back, and we know about last night's speech from President Bush that tried to walk a line down what passes in my country of birth for the political centre. Honestly, I didn't think there was anything new to say.

But then self-proclaimed Libertarian Vox Day (no relation to Stockwell) surprised me:

Dear Jorge plans to address the nation tonight, a speech wherein he will almost surely attempt to deceive citizens into believing that he does not wish the mass migration from Mexico to continue unabated. He will likely offer some negligible resources for law enforcement and border security – resources which will never materialize – in return for an amnesty program that will grant American citizenship to the Mexican nationals who have helped lower America's wage rates by 16 percent over the last 32 years.

And he will be lying, again, just as he lied when he said: "Massive deportation of the people here is unrealistic – it's just not going to work."

Not only will it work, but one can easily estimate how long it would take. If it took the Germans less than four years to rid themselves of 6 million Jews, many of whom spoke German and were fully integrated into German society, it couldn't possibly take more than eight years to deport 12 million illegal aliens, many of whom don't speak English and are not integrated into American society.

Granted, that passage is merely the context for his real point, which amounts to "if you build a fence to keep people out, you're also building a fence to keep people in." But I've been trying rilly rilly hard, but haven't quite found a way to read those words in any way other than: "The U.S. could use the tried and true methods of Nazi Germany to deport the unwashed masses of illegals." Does anyone see an alternate interpretation? Because although I'm not normally inclined to do contortions to give the likes of Vox Day the benefit of the doubt, I'm pretty sure that in all my fifteen-plus years on the Internet, I've never seen anyone make a Hitler analogy that was intended to support their argument.

Perhaps we should turn it into a contest. Ten points and a smooch go to the IP reader who comes up with the best word for invoking Godwin's Law on oneself.

[Update: Orac of Respectful Insolence figures out what the possible alternate interpretations of Day's words might be...and then rather eloquently debunks them.]

[Upperdate: Canadian Cynic points out in the comments that the article in question has since been edited. Apparently, it was Day's editor's doing. Fascinating.]
