I would not be surprised if a McClintock flunkie was supplying all this crap. Besides Arnold was on roids and was a young pissy bodybuilder. Bad combo. He was showboating. Besides I watched a Muhammad Ali biography and he made lots of racist statements. I took the time and social situation into context.

Besides I read Flex all the time, and I'm sure this would have come up. I think Drudge is posting LIES.

*Ping*!

Where the &%#* have the public polls been since Simon dropped out???

[TheAngryClam]

Thanks for calling conservatives racist.

[cyborg]

Why would McClintock's crowd like Arnold more? I suppose it could be Davis too... He's desperate.

[cyborg]

Is that what he's getting at? I must be tired tonight.

[Texas_Dawg]

Why would McClintock's crowd like Arnold more?

Are you kidding? If he hates blacks, surely Mexicans can't be far around the corner.

[TheAngryClam]

Lucky me, you pinged me to a thread currently dominated by "McClintock supporters are racist" posts.

Funny... the topic seems to suggest someone else is...

SECOND BLACK BODYBUILDER CLAIMS SCHWARZENEGGER RACIST COMMENTS

**World Exclusive**

Another black bodybuilder has come forward claiming that California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger has a history of making racist comments, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

Robby Robinson, one of the most respected and well known of all body builders [a former Mr. America, Mr. World and Mr. Universe titleholder], backs up claims made by fellow black bodybuilder Rick Wayne.

"No disrespect to fans of Arnold but Rick's claim is in keeping with my experiences with the man," Robinson explains in a message.

Robinson says that Schwarzenegger repeatedly directed the term "nigger" at him.

Known throughout his career as "The Black Prince," Robinson continues:

"In San Jose at the Russ Warner Classic, as it was called in those days, there was a scene. 7 or 8 of us bodybuilders were invited to guest pose at the show. We were all paid $650.00 to do our thing.

"After the show there was a big banquet. We were all dancing having a nice time and in walks Arnold who started shouting out, 'Down with the blacks, niggers this and blacks that,' for about 10 min.

"All during this time nobody said a word.

"The banquet hall was full of IFFB [International Federation of BodyBuilders] officals. There was a dead silence. You could've heard a pin fall. Everybody in the room was shocked except for me.

"All of his hostility and rage was directed at me. For once he got caught out of shape and I was in contest condition. Me being in great shape put him in a bad light and a bad attitude.

"In my mind I wanted to bust him up. But that would not have done any good. So with all my intensity bottled inside me I walked out of the room. I'm walking out as he was still in his mode of, down with the blacks, when the silence was broken by Joe Weider's voice telling Arnold to stop. That did no good. He was on a roll by now. I left the banquet and went to my room.

"His actions were cowardly and disrespectful. That's why Rick Wayne is speaking out.

"During Pumping Iron more racial slurs were directed at me because I walked out of his house refusing to be involved in the movie if we did not get paid something. We ended up getting $100.00 a day but not before more racial slurs of nigger-nigger were leveled at me for speaking up for myself and the rest of the guys.

"What the fans and media don't know is we all then signed $10,000.00 contracts with White Mountain Film Company and Arnold. To this day Arnold has not paid us a dime. I wonder what the value of that contact would be today. BB [body building] has a dark past, it's a tragedy. The Weiders and Arnold have to deal with their ghosts being uncovered."

so what.. who cares... oh no we're going to lose all those black voters who were so going to vote republican anyway... NOT

[ambrose]

Don't feed the troll.

[George W. Bush]

This is exactly the type thing that would make Arnold more appeasing to McClintock's crowd.

A little trolling is okay.

Blatant trolling is boorish.

[ambrose]

I read Drudge's latest. Looks like the black guy is pissed off because Arnold stiffed him, and it is now payback time.

[Prodigal Son]

Besides I read Flex all the time,

Do you actually read Flex or do you just look at the pictures ;-)

[Texas_Dawg]

Blatant trolling is boorish.

And fun!

[Godebert]

Calling Conservatives racists? I noticed you signed up a few months ago. I'm just suprised you haven't been zotted yet.

[George W. Bush]

Sounds to me like a credible report. There will be others to corroborate if it's true he did this in a big banquet room.

Sounds like there's a grudge against Arnie and Weider (scumbag) that they never got paid the $10,000. Pretty cheesy if true. They just re-released the Pumping Iron video this year on Cinemax (I think) and they've made plenty of money, both back then and now.
