No, anyone who wants to discuss Ashcroft in a boat forum is welcome to do
so, and you can effectively criticize any of the administrations policies
for whatever reason you want to, the theory just states that whenever
someone calls someone a Nazi's or Communists, it normally means they feel
that they are losing the argument and are using these fear tactics as a last
ditch effort to win the argument. If you read NG often, you will see it
does have validity.

Chuck,
Conservative do not necessarily think or believe any thoughts in unison,
but
it appears that the Republican Party might try to use issues and
political
messages in a more focused method than the Democratic Party.

I do believe there is a NG theory that you can always tell when someone
believes he has lost an argument, he begins to call the other side a
Communist or a Nazi. It is way to early in the campaign for you to give
up.

It would seem that this little theory give the current administration a
special advantage in newsgroup discussion - "you must be losing ; you
claim
we are a bunch of Nazis!" That pretty much limits effective criticism of
Ashcroft's activities!
