Yes.
It;'s called Godwin's Law

"As an internet  discussion grows longer, the probability of a 
comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. There is a 
tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that discussion is 
over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost
 whatever argument was in progress."

HTH - SNOOPY

P.S.  Sorry Jeremy.  I guess that means you lose.
