I mean you can't get a better campaign slogan than "My opponent loves Hitler!"

Here in America that is the equivalent of "My opponent loves Marx!"

AHA!!!! There you are wrong. Most Americans will think you are talking about Groucho.

Dems must really be worried, if they're pulling Hitler.

[JohnT]

Can they now successfully argue to the courts that the election has been Godwindized, and therefore must be closed?

The Drudge quote fails to mention that Arnie is supposed to have said this in 1975. Since that date, Arnold has been great supporter of Jewish causes in the United States and has a record of condemning Nazism. Even if he did say this then, Arnie no longer believes that Hitler was a great man.

However, the fact that ABC has joined the anti-Schwarzenegger smear campaign is remarkable. This is typically confined to the Democrats in California, particularly, the infamous Gray Davis. If ABC got this story by itself, it is clear they are openly siding with the Democrat party against Schwazenegger. If they got the story from Davis, well this is to be expected from the low blow Democrat.

This is not that much different from SlowwHand praising the early Ku Klux Klan.

[MichaeltheGreat]

So the news media should decline to report smear allegations against Republicans and only report them against Dems?

You mean in that you're going to whine and post about it the rest of your life?

And if you want to keep starting threadjacks about specific posters here, you might have to wait a week in between chances, if you catch my drift.

How I am insulting someone by repeating the claim they themselves made?

But if you insist, I can shut up about that.

Yes! Most definitely yes! Because it surfaced on eve of the election and there is no time for an independent investigation.

Here is quote from the ABC site,

"ABCNEWS obtained a copy of an unpublished book proposal with quotes from a verbatim transcript of an interview Schwarzenegger gave in 1975 while making the film Pumping Iron. "

From whom did they get the copy? That is real news. The source of the smear is more important than the smear itself.

Remember, the NY Times sat on the Brodderick rape story until the impeachment vote was over.

He doesn't say he praised Uncle Adolf's beliefs or what he did, he praises his personality.

"I admire him for being such a good public speaker and for what he did with it."

He used his skill to try to commit genocide, murdering twelve million Jews, Gypsies and others.

(However, this assumes that the article & quote are, in fact, correct)

[Jack_www]

I dont believe this. Anther "puke" bomb by the Davis people. I say we should all watch as Davis trys to hang on to power and laugh at him. ---> Davis

Edan,

Napoleon and Caesar and others tried to do similar things, yet it's ok to praise them for what the did right or for their personality.
After 60 years we should think about trying to do this that *sshole too. ( not that he did many good things, but you know what I mean )

I think Ariana Huffington wrote this

[Theben]

I think this is a non-issue, unless Arhnold still feels that way. In which case, he's politically toast & likely divorced and out of work.

I doubt he still thinks these things.
