Arnold Schwarzenegger visited Auschwitz where he said it's time to "terminate" hatred. While the message is one surely people can get behind, some seemed to be more interested in how he signed the guestbook.

Schwarzenegger, who received the inaugural Award for Fighting Hatred from the Auschwitz Jewish Center Foundation earlier this year, gave a speech alongside chairman Simon Bergson on Wednesday as a symbol of how generations can change. Both Schwarzenegger and Bergson were born in Austria, the latter born after the war as his parents survived the Auschwitz Nazi death camp.

"I was the son of a man that fought in the Nazi war, he was a soldier," Schwarzenegger shared as he stood next to Bergson. Schwarzenegger has been open that his father, Gustav, was a soldier during the war.

Lot’s of people have visited Auschwitz. It’s not the kind of place where celebrities should get special coverage.

Good for him. As for Mr. Screw Your Freedoms, he can go fornicate himself.

Maybe he can terminate his arrogance and self righteousness while he is at it. By the way, he still owes us an apology for that piece of trash movie “Batman and Robin”.

Considering his dad was a Nazi and a member of the Sturmabteilung (SA) brownshirts he needs to STHU.

I’m sure this will help, just like that time we ended racism by erasing the legacies of Aunt Jemima, and Uncle Ben (during Black History Month, of all times).

Deny the hate in front of a pile of human skulls. Go ahead.

That's interesting, because when I was into bodybuilding, I watched a bodybuilding documentary that featured Arnold.

Now, I must have been dreaming, because I distinctly remember him saying he admired Hitler. The reporter seemed incredulous and asked (something along the lines of), "You admire Hitler?"

Arnie affirmed that he admired Hitler. He said that a mere corporal from WW1 rose to (whatever Hitler rose to), etc.

But I've never been able to confirm that dialogue so, I must be fabricating a memory.

Like many from Hollywood who see their career and money trail ending, their agents tell them to visit and bring the media.
