It looks like Godwin's law has taken place here.

Quote:
Godwins Law - As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
The implication being that whoever compared another person to a Nazi has killed the debate (and lost it).

I don't know too much about Fortuyn, except that he was right-wing. However, calling him a Nazi is going overboard, unless he literally wanted to "cleanse" the Earth the way Hitler tried to...

It is unfortunate that he was killed, no politician deserves that. The way to defeat politicians is not by gunshots, but by the voting booth.
