1. These right wing freaks just don't do science

They don't have a clue about good science; they are experts at junk science

[WhoIsNumberNone]

5. Yet another similarity to the Nazis

Dr. Mengele practically invented junk science

2. Not wanting to invoke Goodwins Law Nazi human experimentation was often poor science.

There was much data regarding hypothermia that ended up being used. Given how the experimentation was obtained reputable scientist no longer quote or reference these horrors. As monsters Republicans have earned their own niche to stand without comparison to Nazi's. For me Goodwins law is not necessary sounding like a Republican is as low on the scale of morality, honesty, authoritarianism, and compassion that anyone needs.

The epitaph directed toward a human that "someone reminds them of Todd Akin" is a disgrace to their humanity.

3. It would be unethical and immoral to site...

studies conducted by the Nazis from 1932 to 1945. The subjects of the experiments did not give "consent." The standard in science is not to site studies from Germany in this time period if done in concentration camps. The Nuremberg Code came out of the war crimes trials after the end of WWII.

on edit: not that the unethical or immoral human studies have not been conducted in the USA or around the world before or after WWII but at least we are trying to continually improve the system.

4. So the "doctor" Akin is ultimately citing is Mengele.

Par. For. The. Course.

6. all along

i've been saying it all along. I know who the rethug/teapartier heroes are. But of course they shouldn't be equated to the NAZI PARTY!!!!!!!!! and also ,I don't forget the followers that are voting these very dangerous, misogynistic, racist FOOLS into office

7. As I understand it, they did a few empirical studies on rape at those concentration camps.

I'm not sure the results were ever tabulated, but they collected a lot of data!

It's really weird that anyone would cite a "scientific study" from a movement designed to reconfigure the social structure through genocide. Call me crazy, but that sounds like a questionable source to me.
