I found this on Buzzflash. Mods, feel free to lock if it's a dupe, I checked and haven't seen it anywhere. Check these quotes out, this is truly frightening:




ABCNEWS obtained a copy of an unpublished book proposal with quotes from a verbatim transcript of an interview Schwarzenegger gave in 1975 while making the film Pumping Iron.

Asked who his heroes are, he answered, "I admired Hitler, for instance, because he came from being a little man with almost no formal education, up to power. I admire him for being such a good public speaker and for what he did with it."

He is quoted as saying he wished he could have an experience, "like Hitler in the Nuremberg stadium. And have all those people scream at you and just being total agreement whatever you say." end


I didn't even add the quotes from the women he groped, if this man were a democrat, he wouldn't stand a chance in hell. I hope this story gains traction, I hope I hope I hope:)

1. sort of like David Bowie

Didn't Bowie say that Hitler was the first rock star(or something stupid like that)?

But this part is definitely disturbing:"....and for what he did with it."

2. Then he said he didn't remember saying that.

The ol' Republican Selective Memory Syndrome.

4. yeah, Janklow is using the "selective memory" thing

too, these creeps make me sick :grr:

[realFedUp]

6. If he has such a poor memory problem....

Maybe it's not such a good idea for him to
run for an office where you have to remember
what the laws are....

[StopTheMorans]

3. that's the part that bothered me

the rest of it I don't like, and I find it disturbing, and yes, his father was a Nazi, which makes the statement even worse; but that statement is the frightening part, because it essentially glorifies Hitler's actions, not just how he got there. Scary, scary shit.

5. Odd

There are so many Republicans who have seemingly lost all memory traces from the 1970's. Was it drugs, Watergate, or a combination?

[StopTheMorans]

7. just pure, unadulterated evil

plain and simple:) Welcome to DU:)!

8. Arnold Schickelgroper: Man of the People or Power Maniac?

Arnold doesn't want to be Governor he wants to be God.

What's interesting about this statement is not so much his admiration for Nazism but for Hitler's "Will To Power". Arnold has even said similar things about Jesus.

9. NYT Article Link

I can't believe the idiot got this far. This country is in a lot of trouble is this bimbo is elected.

10. thanks!

it's good to see that this is getting mainstream media coverage, I was hoping it wasn't going to die. There are only 5 days left till the recall, hopefully this can put a dent in Ah-nult's support.

11. 'And what he did with it'

That is the scary part. The other stuff I have heard other people say --- they admired Hitler's speaking abilities, single minded determination that took him from being an unemployed WWI veteran to being one of the most powerful men in the world, the fact that he brought Germany back from a terrible depression in less than two years, etc.

But what he did with his power is something I never heard a sane man praise.

[ignatius]

12. That is so funny...All we need is a man in brown shirts and

black boots with a bad face lift goose stepping. Maybe a few pictures of emaciated people in stripes and pictures of dead American soldiers in the background.

That is one aspect that isn't stressed enough, in addition to the horrors of the Jewish victims, we and our allies lost millions of troops stopping the evil bastard.

[StopTheMorans]

13. yeah, and I know that people say you can "admire Hitler's

public speaking ability", but I really don't think that it is in good form to say that you admire anything about an individual who was so evil and brought so much death and destruction to the world in the last century. It shows an extremely poor lack of judgment at THE VERY LEAST, and does nothing to help make a point IMHO, it's simply frightening.
