Schwarzenegger Proves He's Just A "Girlie-Man"

Bill Press ^ | 12/16/05 | Bill Press

[Chewie84]

Bill Press calling the Governator a "Girlie man"? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

[popdonnelly]

And his reaction if a Democrat had refused?

Williams was executed by the laws of California.

[AmishDude]

Nobody really expected Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to commute the sentence of Stanley “Tookie” Williams.

Bull. There were dozens of posters on FR who claimed that they were "sure" that he'd do just that. And we'll be reminding the Arnold-haters of that when re-election comes around.

And, of course, Press is a demagogic buttwipe who was off his meds when he wrote this.

[FerdieMurphy]

I thought Bill Press was dead.

[AmishDude]

I thought so! I thought Tookie didn't write those books, it was all a stunt by his lawyer.

And I thought those books backhandedly glorified the gang lifestyle, from what I have read.

[OKSooner]

Next time you post something by Bill Press, how about a barf alert?

[Rummyfan]

No, just his career!

[headstamp]

I saw the pictures of Tookie's handy work and in my opinion he got off too lightly. Too bad he didn't burn in the chair for it.

[pissant]

Yep Bill. The good ol USA has no moral highground versus the Islamoscum. Just like we did not have it over the Commies, the Viet Kong, Red China, Saddam, Pol Pot, Imperial Japan, Hitler's germany, France, the myriad African despots, or Kim Jong Il.

We are all the same Billy.

What a F******G idiot.

[Amerigomag]

Furious politicians from Arnold Schwarzenegger's home city have turned on him over his refusal to stop the execution of a reformed gangster.

Councillors in the Austrian city of Graz yesterday voted to remove the California governor's name from the local football stadium.

The move comes after the Terminator star denied clemency to convicted murderer Stanley 'Tookie'Williams, 51, the co-founder of Los Angeles' notorious Crips gang.

I couldn't have said it better! I have NEVER agreed with this guy on anything, and his positions are contrary to anything logical.

[purpleland]

"In capital punishment cases, it’s easy to follow the lynch mob." "As long as we continue to torture prisoners in other countries and execute prisoners here at home, we Americans cannot claim the moral high ground."


Press hurts himself trying to come up with conclusions like that.

*Conclusion based on pathological discognition:
*State execution of murderers is supported by blood thirsty "lynch mobs." The death penalty is "racist."

[Rummyfan]

I'm sure Ah-nuld will be tossing and turning over that!

[sauropod]

Instead of dancing to the drumbeat of death-penalty supporters, Arnold should have followed the lead of another Republican, former Illinois Gov. George Ryan, who commuted the sentences of everybody on death row — because he knew the death penalty itself was fatally flawed.

Press is full of it.

[SeeRushToldU_So]

I emailed Press telling him he was nuts and that the "brother needed to die".

[When do we get liberated?]

"discognition" I hate it when someone makes me open a dictionary for a word that does not exist.

[KellyAdmirer]

And, of course, DNA testing has shown that even many people in prison are not guilty. This week alone, Gov. Mark Warner of Virginia pardoned two criminals exonerated by DNA of crimes they did not commit. One had already spent 20 years in prison. Where’s the justice?

Yo, Bill, we get your point now. Set 'em all free! Open up the jails and forget about "justice," there is no justice in "Amerika," right?

This was one of the more poorly reasoned articles I've seen on this forum in the last five years.

[wideawake]

I have NEVER agreed with this guy on anything

Nor have I, but I also disagree with everything that Jon Stewart has to say - yet I don't find Stewart nearly as despicable as Press even though Stewart is such a wiseass.

It's because Press has a really smarmy, condescending, nasty, "I'm smarter than you and you're lucky I'm even taking the time to explain things to you" affect that I would probably want to punch him in the face if I ever conversed with him personally.

[goldstategop]

In truth, liberals oppose the death penalty because they adore murderers not because people on Death Row might be innocent. Proof of this is liberals oppose executing someone who is clearly of murder - like Stanley Williams. And Bill Press's article simply backs up my point. But they can't go out there and say murderers should be given a break they don't deserve. You do that Bill and then get back to me on espousing a politically unpopular position. Just have the guts to tell the American people you believe serial killers have a right to breathe the same oxygen the rest of us do. Then you're holding the moral high ground.

"As long as we continue to torture prisoners in other countries and execute prisoners here at home, we Americans cannot claim the moral high ground."

bah.. at least we no longer use the guillotine, hanging, or firing squad for executions. and i haven't heard of any prisoners being put on a rack or an iron maiden or have a cat-o-nine used on them.

The tortures and execution devices you describe should be reserved for delivering justice to irresponsible cockeyed leftist pseudo-journalists. The evil pen having writ...
