Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Monday told officials in his hometown in Austria to remove his name from a sports stadium and stop using his identity to promote the city. The governor's request came after politicians in Graz began a petition drive to rename the stadium, reacting to Schwarzenegger's decision last week to deny clemency to condemned inmate Stanley Tookie Williams. Opposition to the death penalty is strong in Austria.

Sometimes Death penalty is the only option. How can people defend a person that have killed so many. How can the overlook the horror he has cause. To me its stupidity.
From a European point of view.
What a wishy-washy home town! People are nuts!
The ring is in the mail. Way to go, Arnie!
I like reading about it when they not only soil their shorts, they get thrown down to sit in it
"What a wishy-washy home town! People are nuts!"

Perhaps it is over-compensation for the fact that they were not so 'wishy-washy' during the period, 1938-1945 when their country was an integral part of the '1000 Year Reich'? You recall that multi-ten-million slaughter fest don't you? Maybe you should cut them a little slack already, and hope that the Governator's actions and similar reproofs of life bring then back a little closer to a reasonable level, before 'Eurabia' becomes a completed event, and not merely a dismal prophecy?
Although the Gov has some liberal views, he IS an American. A PROUD AMERICAN. God bless him.
Seems a little miffed. I don't blame him. He returned his ring from them too.
And he is an Austrian. :-)
It is refreshing to see amn man of honor these days.
The ring must be returned to the fire in which it was forged!
Now this is what you call a leader.
"..I bet a lot of the people are not happy to lose their favorite son..."
I bet a lot of people will be wanting to replace said leaders
Now that they're done with the Jews, and all...
I bet they didn't want to take down his name. He called their bluff and now they are all saying "Doh!"
I just read the story on Drudge. Great response by Schwarzenegger. He's asking them to cut all ties with him and sending the ring FROM the Austrian city back. "It's all ready in the mail." I love that direct response.
