Yes, I don't understand who came up with the idea that screaming the word fascist would gain credibility no matter what, but these folks do have followers.

It's sad how few people understand what the left has aligned itself with.

From the AP story by way of abcnews.com:


Schwarzenegger didn't mention his proposals during his 15-minute commencement speech at Santa Monica College on Tuesday night, instead recalling his days as a college student, a world champion bodybuilder and an actor.

"I found so much joy educating myself at this college," he told the students. "Work, work, work. Study, study, study," he exhorted them.

The governor's initiative proposals were clearly on the minds of the audience, however, which heckled his every word with hoots, whistles and cat calls. A few people also cheered him. At one point a police officer pulled down a sign being held up by protesters ridiculing the cost to taxpayers of the special election, which is expected to exceed $45 million.

Most of the reaction, both positive and negative, seemed to come not from the graduating seniors in their caps and gowns, but from an audience of several thousand people there to witness the graduation.

Schwarzenegger stuck to his speech and ignored the protests.

About 150 anti-Schwarzenegger demonstrators had gathered outside the college more than an hour before the speech. About two dozen pro-Schwarzenegger demonstrators also showed up.

They usually look in the mirror of their own subconscious to think up accusations against us. It's amazing how often that is true. Just imagine if the right did have absolute control of all three branches. Wouldn't that just be terrible? 10 Commandments in government buildings. Oh my! Killing babies illegal-- the horror! Much safer borders. Yikes! School choice? Gives me the chills. A vast economic boom from a national sales tax? Sorry if I'm scaring you. And lo and behold, less government waste...? I'm sorry. I guess that belongs in a Steven King novel.
