Godwin's Law makes sense when people draw the analogy too easily, but it doesn't serve any purpose when the analogy starts to become apt.
With all respect, if you automatically deduct IQ points, etc, then you need to drop autopilot and think. There's nothing in the realm of ideas today that demands reaction without thought.
For what it's worth, the article Spiff linked to does not mention the word nazi, it merely uses Eichmann as an example of how banal evil can be.
