Hitler was one of the greatest speakers of the 20th Century
Hitler was also a man with a mustache and he had a nice dog.

Does saying that mean I am pro-Hitler? Or pro-Nazi?

Of course not. It is simply a stating of facts and opinion.

No one was a more effective and energizing speaker than Hitler. Recognizing that does not make me or anyone else pro-Nazi or pro-Hitler.


COME AND GET ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

25. My point is this...
Trying to slime Arnold is not the way to win. It is the way to lose even bigger.

Victory at ANY cost? Hmmmmm?

38. Do you really think...
That this is the way to win the recall election? You're kidding right?

Do you REALLY think this is what the voters want to hear? You're still kidding right?

What we have here is the triumph of emotion over rationalism.

Davis should come out today and disavow this kind of sewage. It is his only, albeit slim, chance.

48. Davis did he has nothing to do with it.
You can't blame the Arnold is about to be
charged with sexual battery on Davis.

Arnold is one who uses his power and money to
but the governership so he can loot the state
for his buddies in the international white power
movement.

Expect state visits from Burliscone.

Expect state visits from Rupert Murdoch.

Who cares what voters want to hear if they
want to elect a puppet fascist the expect a
fight.

This is america we fight fascists.

33. Arnold is slime no need to try...
why do you defend the corprate puppet.

Why do think a person who aspires to be like Hitler
should hold office in this nation.

My grandfather fought fasism and nazism for
the red white and blue.

What do you stand for.

62. Oh boy were gonna have a relative-off?
My daddy and two uncles (all dead now) fought Hitler too.

Arnold didn't say he aspires to be like Hitler. He was commenting on Hitler's considerable skill in motivating the masses and his considerable skill at gaining political power.

Do you deny that he had great skills in these areas? If so, then you don't want truth, you want partisanship.

Hitler fed his nice dog a cyanide pill.

One version says that he "did not admire what Hitler did with it".

Do you believe that Arnold is pro-Nazi?

11. Really?
I could give a sh*t less. I don't vote in California. I've seen stuff here that says his dad was a nazi, and that he defended a nazi war criminal... Is it true? I don't know. Do I read it? Yea. Does anybody I really communicate with in daily life care about it? Nah.

Leaving his character out of it all, Arnold is not qualified to be a governor. That statement is pretty damning though, no matter how you look at it.

31. Well, I'm a lot closer than you are.
I say this sliming of Arnold is not the way to win. It is only the way to lose even bigger.

Davis would be smart to come out this weekend and call for an end to it. It's his only chance. His internals show that he is losing badly, in more ways than one I might add.

BTW I don't believe that you are a Democrat. The Democrats I know wouldn't engage in that kind of stuff.

51. Who is using politics against him?
Davis no.

If the glove fits.

He admited he was a serial groper after
months of denial. And now he should be
believed on his flattering statements
about Hitler????

I have died and woke up in that world
were Hitler won the war.

In america Hitler is a no no.

If you are not able to see that this is
the real thing and Davis has nothing to do
with it.

Although I wish he did I love a fighter against Nazi lovers.

I'm not joking.

that cracked me up.

You know what? Anthony Robbins is WAY more qualified than Arnold to be governor of any state.

Arnold, Gary Coleman, Mary Carey, they're all about the same intelligence level/qualified.

It's just stupid that anyone could even consider Arnie for governor. PEOPLE ARE DUMB

But back to the business at hand:

HITLER: Started wars of aggression, invaded Poland on phony pretext.

ROBBINS: Wears dynamic headset mic to imply hands-off action.

43. And a very poor one at that.
Judges, how many points do we give him for the "arguing like a woman" type riff? Pretty out of place in 2003, huh?

But then, back to work:

ADOLF HITLER: Rumored to have one testicle.

ANTHONY ROBBINS: Rumored to have smooth, Barbie-doll like crotch area.

ADOLF HITLER: Subjugated a nation to his demonic will.

ANTHONY ROBBINS: In 1997 he was honored as one of the ten "Outstanding People of the World" by the International Chamber of Commerce, and has been called one of the great influencers of this generation.

I rest my case.

Like your precious dahling HITLER. What a fuckin' quitter, man. Oooooo, the russians are coming... oooo, I better blow my head off... oooo, burn my body, ooooo.

TONY ROBBINS is all things to all people.
Tony Robbins NEVER killed himself.

except that one time in the early 80s, but that's beside the point. i'm not going to argue the finer points of Robbinsian theology with a Nazi.

45. "I admire him … for what he did with it."

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."

It has been reported yesterday and today thaT actually said he "did not" admire what he did.

The point is nobody knows. Not you, not me, not Gray Davis.

Do you believe that Arnold is pro-Nazi?
