Wow. You don't actually know what Godwin's Law is?

To paraphrase:

> As the length of a discussion grows, the probability of there being a comparison with Hitler, or the Nazi party will approach one.

It's an admonishment against exactly what you're doing. As someone's argument is shown to be weak, they inevitably invoke Naziism, not only inappropriately, but in a way that casts light to the weakness of their argument. ... Which is what you're doing.
