Mugabe's auto-violation of Godwin's Law

Cory Doctorow 8:10 am Fri Mar 28, 2003

Robert Mugabe, president and asshole dictator of Zimbabwe, has given a chest-thumping speech in which he told the world that he wanted to be as bad as Hitler. He did not invoke Godwin's Law.

"I was the Hitler of that time. I am still a Hitler of their time. If Hitler fought for the justice of mankind, many nations would not have fought against him.

"Hitler in Zimbabwe has one objective — sovereignty for his people, recognition of their independence and their rights to freedom. If they say I am Hitler, let me be Hitler ten-fold and that's what we stand for."
