Democrats are getting pretty desperate. They are pulling out the "Hitler-Card."

But Arnold Schwarzenfuhrer made it easy for them, didn't he?

[Burkeman1]

Maybe- Maybe not.

As Mr. Curry jumps into the DumpSter with Bob Mulholland. You actually call him a Nazi? Shame.

You once again demonstrate your complete lack of honor, kevin..

Thanks.

The funny thing is that Europe has always been more sensitive to acclaimations about admiring Hitler for any reason-- and Schwarzenegger couldn't help but have grown up in the sort of PC -climate we have today.

As a guy in his twenties, he almost certainly could have picked anyone with a popular rags-to-riches tale. And with his desire to experience throngs of admirers in a stadium, he could have picked rock stars like The Who or Led Zeppilin.

If true, it sounds like Arnold wanted to convey the sort of hero-worship he craved and fellow Austrian Adolf was the closest comparison he could make.

When I was in college, I was known to do Hitler imitations. I used to put a black comb under my nose. I watched "Triumph of the Will" when it played on campus. I don't think any of that makes me a Nazi or an anti-semite--I was mocking them--but if I were ever nominated for a judgeship, it's quite likely some idiot would dig that stuff up and draw ridiculous inferences. This is a trashy accusation.

I agree. I favor McClintock but the timing is of course a political assassination.
