124. Are you comparing Gitmo to Auschwitz?
Something tells me you aren't a concentration camp survivor. I think it is wholly offensive to start comparing every injustice that occurs to what happened in Nazi Germany.

First of all it lessens the impact of the holocaust, secondly it makes anyone on the other side of the aisle who is willing to listen immediately unwilling to do so.

It isn't just in this case but in most partisan issues.

I don't mean to offend you, but don't be lazy and make poor arguments, but think it through a bit and don't rely on inclusiveness fallacies.
