4 More Women Go Public Against Schwarzenegger By Gary Cohn, Carla Hall, Jack Leonard and Tracy Weber Times Staff Writers

11:30 PM PDT, October 4, 2003

Four more women have come forward to say that Arnold Schwarzenegger fondled, spanked or touched them in incidents they said took place as recently as 2000 and as long ago as 1979.

In all, 15 women have now accused the Republican candidate for governor of grabbing or groping them. On the campaign trail Saturday, Schwarzenegger denounced as a "puke campaign" news reports that he has behaved abusively toward women.

I have my reasons Bonnie. I appreciate your comments.

[sourcery]

(Can I use that term on a family-oriented website? ;-

Ha! I'd say that 'assiduously' is barely acceptable--but 'normal' is a well-known code word used by the hatemongers (just ask Hillary) :->

[Mo1]

You Got Freepmail!!!

[Howlin]

Yeah, I know. I'll get back to you after I pick my mouth up off the floor.

Was that breaking news?

[Bonaparte]

"What happens if there are 20 women on Sunday, and 30 women on Monday?"

It starts to look even more absurd. How is it that those dozens of aggrieved women did not make a criminal complaint? Not one of them! And they did not "go public" until, coincidentally, this very week. Have you followed the size and enthusiasm of Arnold's turn-outs these past few days? Have you followed the most recent polling data?

Arnold should have inoculated himself early on in his campaign by being upfront about his past behavior early,

---

He did.
and he did it often.
I heard it repeatedly after he announced.

and I don't believe the women.
period.

a person could say anything for money. and these code pink members have done just that. code pink? do your own research.

[calcowgirl]

Well said. Kudos.

[Mo1]

YES it was .. I haven't seen anything on the net yet

[Robert_Paulson2]

I hate to admit it but I have to agree with every word you have said.

[kingu]

Who knows, even Simon may have sparked.

What's the biggest shame in all of this is that Simon didn't get the coverage he deserved this time around. His relaxed demeneor was really missing back then.

We shall either hang together--or hang separately. And that goes for all factions.

verile virile

;-)

[SteveH]

He did.
and he did it often.

Nah. I believe it was Friday morning when he apologized.

Otherwise the Friday morning apology would have simply been instead a reference to an early statement given weeks ago.

[DoughtyOne]

I am not here to change minds. I have to go with my gutt instincts. He admitted and appologized for his actions. I will be voting for him.

[DoughtyOne]

Heh heh heh...

[DoughtyOne]

Thank you.

[DoughtyOne]

If that was all, I'm doing pretty good tonight. :-)

[SteveH]

It starts to look even more absurd. How is it that those dozens of aggrieved women did not make a criminal complaint?

I never contended that it was a criminal matter. You missed my point.

Not one of them! And they did not "go public" until, coincidentally, this very week.

And perhaps you are not familiar with how movie set workers get and keep work in LA. Besides which, half of this is clearly the second wave, triggered after the initial publicity with the Thursday charges.

Have you followed the size and enthusiasm of Arnold's turn-outs these past few days? Have you followed the most recent polling data?

This isn't about polls or popularity. It's about right and wrong. Two different measures.

[ArneFufkin]

Not this crew. They get the catapault.
