Okay, I give up. WHO has leveled these accusations?

Where have you been? Half the media has been trying to coyly drop in such hints, with Katie Couric going full bore right off the DNC talking points fax. Rush only talked about Katie and the media's typical 'Nazi' wolf cries for the last 2 days.

And while you may not have brought up the Nazi angle, you've been a cheap shot artist aiming for Arnold about nearly everything else on every thread. How the heck can you claim to know what his fiscal policy will be, when he hasn't even discussed it? You jump to the most extreme conclusion when he dares utters the phrase 'social program' while completely ignoring his links to Milton Friedman.

I am not taking sides on Arnold vs. McClintock, but some of the childish, exaggerated, fear mongering, cheap shot smears of the conservative side are simply going to backlash into greater Arnold support and further marginalization of CA conservatives.

I guess he won't go to Italy either because he won't like hanging around with Mussolini's countymen.

Right, and I won't be going to New York to see Zev anytime soon because he's a dumbass who lives in the same state Hitlery calls home.

Touchee' Zev, it's call demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is - how to put it? - too Austrian.

That is revolting. How does that phrase sit if we substitute other ethnicities in its place?

Arnold Schwarzenegger is - how to put it? - too Jewish.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is - how to put it? - too African.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is - how to put it? - too Mexican.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is - how to put it? - too Indian.

Nope, you'd never hear these pukes say things like that.

It would be nice to see Arnold go into a closed door meeting with Tom Lantos (the vampire talking left wing a**hole).

Arnold: "I don't kow what happened. I asked him about his Nazi hunting days, and he wet himself like a little girl. "

[ambrose]

they're all referring to him as a Nazi on the Rat Underground.

[cajuncooker]

Arnold had no control over his father's past history. It should be obvious to them as much as it is to us.

Which thread at DU do you find them calling him a Nazi?

[ambrose]

every thread discussing the recall. they are in hysterics. their seething hatred for Arnold is amazing. maybe Arnold won't be so bad afterall.

[OldFriend]

Guess that means that the author of the article never shops at IKEA either because the founder admitted to being in Hitler Youth Corps.......way back when.

[freedumb2003]

Even if he didn't like the Nazis, he still would have had to join the Party if he wanted to keep his position.

Just like being an actor (Arnold being the only, if questionable, exception) requires joining the Democrats. If you aren't a liberal Demoncrat, you don't get parts. Period.

[Political Junkie Too]

Arnold Schwarzenegger is - how to put it? - too Austrian.

You have to admire the Democrats:

Arnold Schwarzenegger is too Austrian.

Cruz Bustamante is an inspiration to Hispanics, even though he was born in California.

Miguel Estrada is not Hispanic enough, even though he was born in Honduras.

Bill Richardson is considered the leading Hispanic Democrat, even though he was born in California.

Boycotting all things Austrian: tough shit.

I suppose he doesn't listen to classical music then (Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler, Lehar, Schoenberg, Strauss, etc. etc. - even Beethoven wrote most of his works in Vienna), or read German literature (roughly 1/3 of which is actually Austrian), or read science books where he might be confronted with Austrians (Boltzmann, Freud, Schroedinger, Mach, Doppler, Goedel, Mendl, Lazarsfeld, ...), or read books on 20th century philosophy (too many), or books on modern economical theory (Boehm-Bawerk, Hayek, Mises, Menger, Wieser,...), or on art and architecture (too many). He can't use a sewing machine, a typewriter, a pencil, an electrical kitchen, or even a match box. Nor any kind of device or structure that makes use of stainless steel, steam bended wood, asbestos cement, uses marine propellers, turbines, or a petrol engine. And certainly not any kind of gun since there's likely some Austrian invention involved with it. And that's just from the top of my head.

I guess Mr. Chafets can go without a Porsche (or a Volkswagen) though.
