The gay agenda: Destroy marriage; kill Jews by the millions; follow with a protein shake

Save California, a group strenuously opposed to last week's pro-gay marriage ruling, isn't afraid to invoke the Holocaust:
Ask your county clerk if they were a Nazi officer during WWII and had been ordered to gas the Jews, would they? At the Nuremberg trials, they would have been convicted of murder for following this immoral order.
I don't follow the analogy: gay people are like Nazis and marriage is like, um, Jews? So the institution of marriage—which currently allows Britney Spears to get hitched in Vegas on a whim—is suddenly in such a bad state that its plight is comparable to the murder of six million people? (Do you think we should bother to remind the whackjobs at Save California that thousands of gay people died at the hands of the Gestapo, too? Or would that warp their fragile little minds?)

So then: If you were a Nazi officer during WWII, would you follow an order to gas the Jews? That's an awfully big conditional—it's sort of like asking, "If you were the Zodiac killer, would you shoot random people and then send cryptic notes to the San Francisco Chronicle?" Well, um, probably, yeah. But I'm not the fracking Zodiac killer, and I'm not a goddamn Nazi.

Next question, assclowns.

(Via Dan Savage at Slog.)

UPDATE: The fine folks at Good As You inform me that, as of 5/23, Save California has removed the Holocaust reference. You can see the before-and-after comparison here. Thanks, Google Cache!
