CAMPAIGN BOMBSHELL: ARNOLD PRAISED HITLER IN BOOK PROPOSAL

Am unearthed book proposal by Pumping Iron's director George Butler is set throw the California recall race in to new levels of complete chaos.

The book proposal quotes Arnold Schwarzenegger naming monster Adolf Hitler as a hero!

ABC News, which broadcast the remarks on Thursday, said they were contained in an unpublished book proposal with quotes from what it calls a "verbatim transcript" of the interview.

Asked about his heroes, the young Schwarzenegger, in 1975, was quoted as saying; "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."

The actor was quoted as saying he wished he could experience being .."like Hitler in the Nuremberg stadium and have all those people scream at you and just being total agreement whatever you say."

Asked by ABC News to comment on the old remarks, Schwarzenegger said: "I cannot remember any of these. All I can tell you is that I despise everything Hitler stood for. I despise everything the Nazis stood for ... everything the Third Reich stood for."

The author of the book proposal told ABCNEWS that the quotes needed to be seen in context of Schwarzenegger's admiration of powerful men.

The book proposal contains other stunning passages, which ABCNEWS is preparing to reveal.

Blah blah blah blah

Doesn't matter, whether he wins or loses.

Why can't these idiotic news organizations at least try to concentrate on the real issues, not some alleged quotes from 30 years ago.

Amen, amen, amen

It pisses me off to no end when people consistently dredge up every little thing you may or may not have said eons ago.

So what !!!

Can't people change over time from when they're 20 to 45 or 50 or 55 years old.

Not many people think about running for political office when they're very young, although there are a few.

I once called my black neighbor a spook when I was 14, that's why I never ran for president (I knew I'd be outed).

When I worked at a KG Men's Store, we had a seamstress who happened to be from Japan. She remembers, as a young little girl, Hitler and the Germans teaching people to exercise and stressing physical fitness. She said he was an evil man for what he did to the people in the camps (Jewish, Germans, etc) but she knew a lot of people who had respect for some things he had done. Obviously the bad outweighs the good. Liking one thing somebody has accomplished does not mean you like everything they ever did.

Kinda like Marge Schott saying Hitler was good in the beginning.......

However, sometimes the evil that the person did so far outweighs any small positive that was done that you really can't say anything good about the person without getting into major trouble!

Nice point. Schott wasn't trying to be antisemitic or anything, and what she said wasn't that bad, but of course she paid dearly for what she said.
