I want to say something about the accusations that California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger is - how to put it? - too Austrian.

Okay, I give up. WHO has leveled these accusations? From everyone I know here in California (y'know...where the recall is happening? where the voters on this matter exclusively reside), the Austrian thing isn't even a bottom-of-the-barrel issue.

If I'm not mistaken, it was perky Katie "The Colon" Couric who set the new land speed record for gratuitous slams. She brought up Arnold's father's Nazi past on Thursday morning's Today Show following his late Wednesday night announcement.

I don't think it's going to have any traction here but it is being brought up fairly frequently.

Go Tom McClintock!!

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.
