And furthermore, why is it Katie's business WHO gets elected in California? She doesn't live here, I don't think.

Rush made the ad up. He is playing it as a parody of what he sees the Dems already doing.

[Reagan Man]

It's one of Rush`s parodies.

But Arnald's Father was a member of the Nazi Party. However, he never engaged in any of the Holocaust activities. Katie was reading the latest Democratic talking points on the Today Show.

[bedolido]

yes... Rush has gone over to the Darkside... He IS playing a commercial about Arnold and his evil past... including Sig Heils!

Day 1 Pray for Rush Limbaugh thread to start soon.

Couric should be ashamed of herself.,/i>

There's an idea whose time is passed

[eggman]

Would Katie ask a similar question (father being a KKK member or great-grandfather being a slaveholder or mother being a crack whore) of a Democrat? Of course not.

ROFLMAO, I thought it was legit at first too, ROFLMAO

My first thoughts were..... "Holy shiite, that Gray Davis is one ruthless SOB, and the nerve of Katie Couric to get involved is such a smear" :-)

This could get real interesting. Everyone knows that the Democrats will use any type of negative ad, smear tactic and dirt they can find. If they can't find it they will make it up. However, in this case it is a Kennedy on the receiving end. How sweet to have Teddy, a leader of the Dem party, smearing the reputation of Maria's husband. Quite a family man, that Teddy. LOL

More important than this is that Arnold is well respected and well liked throughout the country. The attacks on Arnold will have a major backlash against the Democrats outside of California.

BTW, I read earlier that Arnold donated millions (some one said his entire T-2 salary) to the Holocost Museum because of his father's past.

Couric should be ashamed of herself

Yeah really. I would think she would want to advance the cause a far left gun-grabbing, homo-loving baby killer like Arnold. As a good liberal she SHOULD be ashamed of herself for opposing one of her own.

Rush made that up as a joke. You had to have been hearing the whole program to understand it. It is a joke.

Some political operatives assume Arnold Schwarzenegger's "Nazi background" could haunt him in a potential gubernatorial campaign, but it's clear the actor and bodybuilder has rejected that part of Austrian history.

Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean and founder of the Wiesenthal Center, said Schwarzenegger has been a generous donor to the Jewish human rights organization -- "every time he does a movie, he writes a check" -- and has been granted its National Leadership Award for his humanitarian work.

"It's not a proud moment for anyone when you learn your father was a member of the Nazi Party," Hier said in an interview. "But Arnold is not his father, and Arnold has to be judged for who he is. I have always found him to be interested in the issues of the museum. He has been very friendly and supportive."
