If you think I was COMPARING Democrats with Nazies, you didn't read my post. I made a parallell example, for a completely unrelated group, in order to show how silly the reasoning was, blaming people
today for whatever anyone did in the past, no matter how much or how little they prescribed to the same ideas.
Anyway, the slippery slope fallacy is this: "If we allow A, then B will follow". For example, many fundamentalist Christians say that if we allow homosexuality, then animal sex and paedophilia is next.
It is
not a slippery slope fallacy, however, to point out that the law must be equal for all. If we make special provisions for certain groups, which groups are singled out and by what justification?
