Tim Blair

'... is ...'?

That definitely makes him a Nazi, of course. Like Mozart and Haydn.

Oh, THAT liberal media....

Having lost the election on both counts, recall and davis for governor, seems the leftoid have set up their fascist-communisto line on Arnie's governorship: think Austria, think hitler.Yup, journalism at its communisto fucktoid best. Suspect Fat Aunty Australian Bolshevik Collective, Age, SMH, will pick it up too, though ,perhaps, just a little more obliquely, less direct, more indirect suggestion than CNN's bit of crap.

Oh, flip,what am I saying, they can't help themselves and run the communisto line boldly.
Fatty Pol Pot Adams and the Australian can be trusted to be so brutally frank.

They compare a US governor with a Nazi?

Ya see, that's why we need Fox News!

Fox News might say, "Schwarzenegger, who, like Maria Von Trapp, protaganist of "The Sound of Music", is a native of Austria..."

Now, Allah willing, we also need in the next week:
1) Yasser dies from his heart attack
2) Saddam gets found/whacked dead
3) the Chicago Cubs rebound from tonight's
loss/Red Sox prepare to meet said Cubs in
Series.
4) I have no hangover tomorrow.

That's a good week.

George Bush is a native of the same country that produced Charles Manson!

Phillip Adams, who, like Martin Bryant, is a native of Australia....

If you read the whole article, the Austria/Hitler mention, which appears in the last paragraph, is referencing the accusations that Arnold said he admired Hitler. It seems to me entirely appropriate to mention that Arnold and Adolph are from the same country when discussing that rumour. It's not (IMO) gratuitous, nor is it a shot that suggests Arnold is a Nazi.

If y'all are gonna take this as a shot, the paranoia has gotten hold of you.

Arnie declares:

Plo chops for all!!!

So now we have Arnee=Hitler, along with Bush=Hitler, Sharon=Hitler etc. For somebody who committed suicide half a century ago, Hitler just seems to be springing up everywhere!

Sheesh, being like Hitler or being a Nazi in modern politics apparently isn't much different than just being a jerk or a poopoo head.

It's shocking that a Republican would have his vote split in California and win an election. The next thing you know, France might revise its socialist work week, Canada may put deeper thought in medical marijuana, tigers might attack Siegfried & Roy, and the Cubs & Red Sox will have a great chance at the World Series...what a world, what a world!

Arnie has supplied the living monologue more amo to wax vacuously on.Go at it Adams, while the grave merely beckons.

Will Adams, as his swansong, reflect on why totalitarian heaven proves hell, why, given a choice, the unwashed masses reject it, why his chance to be Gulag village idiot did not arise in his time? I bet, Fatty will wax lyrical on those beefy matters, citing all his communisto heroes, including Noam.Fade out to the tunical ode to that rotten communisto bitch,Eva Peron: Don't cry for me Australia... I won't finish, the lines which have occurred to me are just cruel.

So Arnie's governor? Great! I've no idea what his policies are, but what with all these claims of scandal up in the air, Arnie's English-as-a-second-language-difficulties, and his Nazi father, I reckon American politics is going to become a lot more entertaining...

AMETURES!!

Dang, I was pulling for Mary Carey, in a manner of speaking.

The views that are published on the SMH site are definitely not your average Aussies views.

Unfortunatly, the anti-American bigots on the S.M.H are typical Australians.
As one of the tiny minority of Australians who actually like America and the people there, I'd like to apologise to any American reading this.
Maybe its about time you ended your alliance with us and let us take care of ourselves from now on.

bring on the retarted pupets i say!

So now the world hates the US because Californians elected Schwarzenegger Governor? Whoa. Someone has been licking too many toads.

So what does the spelling/grammar/syntax as displayed in the comments on this post indicate about the relative mental capacities of (evil bad) SMH reader vs. (oh good) Tim reader?

I mean, come on, this is like saying that Tim is the same as d.

Well, not quite. Yet.

Hey! Call me "troll", and you win a prize!

"eh, Mate,

The difference betix Oz and America is that acommon man with a funny accent and no money can rise to the top of the pile with hard work. Three cheers for Arnie and good on you lad!

Max Kama "

does this mean everyone in Oz rises to the top? (WRT funny accents)

Yeah ,only regular politicians should be allowed to stand as they always do such a brilliant and wonderful job for us.

Man, some of these are gems.

---"On a daily basis, I am thankful that I live in Australia, not the Unites States, as does much of my family. The election of Arnie, based on no actual political expertise or experience, proves that American politics runs solely on popularity."---

Linda S.

I guess in most other countries the least popluar candidate wins. And the "As does much of my family" cracks me up too.

---"Why are you surprised? They voted Bush in didn't they?"---

Only in America...

Actually, no. Bush lost in California.

---"First Bush gets "elected" and now Arnold. This country is going to Hell quickly. I guess people here are stupider than I thought. Might be time to move before this country totally collapses."---

Fed-up American!!

What do you mean by "might"? Try moving after the country totally collapses.

The official results.

http://vote2003.ss.ca.gov/Returns/gov/00.htm

To those who complain that Arnie is unfit to govern because he has no experience .. look at what a mess California is in *because* it has had a governor with experience. Experience in what? Working for the people or working for himself?

Maybe Arnie will do a good job, maybe not. If I lived in California I'd vote for him because he's a person who got where he is by hard work. I'd give him a chance.

Bah, if you want to live somewhere where morons are elected look no further than the ACT. We have had a variety of neanderthal footballers and freaks with handlebar moustaches elected as independents here over the years forcing their nutty agendas on us. THey make Arnold look like a respectable politician. I'd take him over them any day, right wing death beast or not.

CNN, from a prominant state that supported the Klu Klux Klan...

I'm surprised Tim didn't pick up on the "Your Say" infiltrator "Magrot". It would be just like the real McCoy to misspell her own name.

And in a related note... CNN, like Jayson Blair, are now pretending that the phrase "..., like Hitler,..." never appeared on your link.

Ahhh...nee;

Great lines from the movies can come true after all:

"to see your enemies driven before you and to hear the lamentation of [Barbara Streisand]"

"hasta la vista [Gray Davis]"

"We're twins [Adolf] and me"

"True lies [the entire left-leaning media coverage of the recall]"

If you repeat a lie often enough then the people will start to believe it - say that sounds like something CNN, much like Hitler, would do doesn't it?

Who was the well-built woman in the form-fitting doily standing right behind Arnold during his victory speech? I think we were supposed to be impressed that he didn't grope her.

The Democratic National Committee is surely adding the Ahnuld and McClintock totals over and over again. Much shaking of heads...grinding of teeth. Wunnerful!

That line is no longer in the CNN report.

There is much anger and some conspiracy theories over on democraticunderground.com. A couple of posters attempted to inject reality that wasn't appreciated. (Look for the posts talking about the Jews/Zionists .. only a few, but interesting.)

Anyway, if you want to see some 'interesting' reactions you may want to pay a visit.

CNN, which, like that crematorium guy who kept hundreds of rotting corpses in his backyard, is based in Georgia...

It's funny that nobody seems to have read what the Simon Wiesenthal crowd said about Arnie, and then the positive comments as well from a Jewish leader in Austria.
Why is it that in bashing Arnie nobody bothers to look at the other side?
Oh well those who think like the LATimes will act like it as well.

Come with me if you want to fuck liberals.

Also come with me if you have big tits.

Give me a break- I'm married to a Kennedy, for fuck's sake! She looks like Ted- wouldn't you try to pork Linda Hamilton?

Und I have this robot dick- what's Bill clinton's excuse?

No qualifications at all?

Leaving aside cheap shots about politicians relying on image-making rather than statesmanship, please note that Schwarzenegger twice built successful businesses well before he entered film acting. As a very young man he bought a failing health club and turned it into a very successful enterprise. Then, when he came to the US and won bodybuilding prizes, he invested them in real estate. Along the way he earned the respect and support of the lawyers, accountants and other professionals whose advice he sought.

That all happened before he set foot on a single stage set. I personally find that VERY relevant experience for solving California's serious financial and regulatory problems. Whether or not the entrenched legislature, which is beholden to many special interests, will rise to the level of serving the public's interest instead, remains to be seen.

This dude smoked one too many bowls:

Talking about TWINS, there's nothing like an ACTION HERO candidate who once groped Hitler and likes to bare his magnificent breasts to innocent extras on the sets of ficticious films. (emphasis mine)

As a native of Arkansas, I strongly resent you insulting feral swine by comparing them to CNN. Hogs at least have some redeeming features.

Tongue Boy: Are you sure that the quote you gave wasn't supposed to be a sarcastic comment on Arnie bashers?

Is there a cached copy of the CNN report anywhere? I'd like to see the original . . .

Don't forget that Bush is also from the same state as a famous chainsaw massacre. Lol.

Btw, dude, the lesson here is you got to actually preserve these web-goofs for posterity. Because i mean this in no offensive way, but now we only have your word on it.

Did anyone actually see them print it? Anyone preserve a copy?

Peter Adams, who, like the potto has an anus and very little brains, frequently confusing the two, also hails from Australia.

By "feral swine based in Atlanta," do you mean the Braves?

I resent the feral swine remark. It nowhere mentions Atlanta in the link.

It's always revealing to hear an intilectual critique of our retarted president who is a pupet. Messrs. Pritchard and Barlow sure do know how to hurt a guy.

Several years ago, I visited Australia and stopped by a museum in Adelaide called The Old Parliament House. (Now closed, I underestand. Pity, since it was a wonderful example of history with an attitude.) Anyway, near the end there was a bulletin board where the museum posed the question "Should Australia limit immigration?", and visitors were invited to write comments on note cards and post them. My favorite response: "No if they can't speak anglish [sic] they shouldn't be in Austrila [sic]."

Hasta La Vista, Grayby

Well, SOMEone had to say it

They've changed the article. The line you quote is now missing.

Oh. Sure. Update your post AFTER I've read and posted. Make me look like a retarted intilectual.

Future CNN Copy?

"Cruz Bustamante who, like Hitler, had a mustache..."

"Peter Uberoth who, like Hitler, organized an Olympics..."

"Bill Clinton who, like Hitler, was admired for his public speaking..."

Not all Aussies are silly, effete whiners. In fact none are. Those posts from the SMH are most probably from disaffected American ex pats. Have you seen Alec Baldwin lately? Perhaps he finally sprouted a pair of working testicles and made good on his promise to leave the country now that GWB has been elected president and AS has been elected governor of California.

it bad enough chosing a retarted president

I'm an American, and I wish I was retarted. My tart ran off with a car salesmen and I miss her.

Rabidfox:

I hadn't thought of that. I usually have a sharp eye for sarcasm and catch that kind of stuff. I couldn't figure out his/her angle so just chalked it up to being stranded in Stonerville.

Hey, hey! At least here in Atlanta shooting feral swine is encouraged. (Margo Kingston take note.)

Wallace:

Or would rather be f*cktarted? I know I would...

Update: a new link to the earlier CNN story has been added, and "Atlanta" replaced by "Georgia" in text.

WEll it just shows how ridiculously stupid americans are it bad enough chosing a retarted president who is a pupet but now they go a chose a movie star when will that country learn and then they wonder why the world hates them???

Retarted...tarted again? Does this mean there's something Laura Bush ought to know?

Hey, you retarted pupet, studies show "established feral swine populations in 23 states," not just Georgia.

Besides, they make good barbecue...

arnold got TONS more support than chiraq did in a much more croweded field.

A little spell check goes a long way, especially if you are accusing someone of being stoopid.

If I was a Democrat I'd look at the 2002 election fiasco combined with the Schwarzenegger/McClintock 60% and I'd stop playing to the fringe left before its too late.

Hello world,
I'm a yankee who has never posted anything, anywhere on the web. It's time for me to share a thought with y'all. Americans are their best in tight times. What is set to tear us apart, brings us together.
Henry Ford couldn't build a car, much less change a sparkplug. What he did was pool people who did not only know how, but re-invented an industry.
I think Gov. S will do the same. He's smart and I believe he is sincere. I'm moving to California to be a part of it all, I find it quite exciting.

> but what with all these claims of scandal up in the air,

There are actually fewer claims, and less substance around them, wrt Arnie than there were with respect to Davis. Or is that different? Why?

> Arnie's English-as-a-second-language-difficulties,

Arnie doesn't have any English-as-a-second-language difficulties. Davis snarked about Arnie's pronounciation of "California". Arnie pronounces "California" as it is pronounced in Spanish. Considering that "California" is a word from Spanish and that Davis claims to be sensitive, tolerant, and a "friend to the Latino people"....

The fact that these were Davis' best arguments doesn't actually make them valid/substantial.

Actually, what this Yank believed, and has had confirmed for the past couple of years is that Australians are "stand up guys", as my uncles used to say.

The "stand up guys" phrase was one of the highest compliments my uncles could pay anyone. They served in WWII with a bunch of Australians. They meant that you could count on Australians to stand up and do the right thing even when it may mean they lost their lives.

Because of my uncles' stories from WWII, I always had a high regard for Australians. I still do. I've been reading Australian blogs and newspapers ever since 9/11. Except for differences, which are really minor, Australians have much the same attitudes, beliefs, and spirit Americans have. What I'd call core values.

I can't see Australians just rolling over and sleeping if they believe there are a group of nutzo terrorists that want to end their way of life. I see the Australians standing up and saying "F*ck You!" to the terrorists. To me, this is the only response that makes any sense at all.

As to the 'silly Effite Whiners', we have them in the US by the bushel. I don't think, for a moment, that they respresent all Australians. I don't think they represent all citizens of the Anglo countries at all.

If someone were to read the NY Times, and watch TV shows like 'Jerry Springer' (ugh!) it's easy to see the perception of the US would be a bunch of correct thinkers & whiners (portrayed in the Times) vs. the rest of us who are barbaric idiots(portrayed by Jerry Springer's show).

Since I'm pretty sensitive about people forming their opinions about the US from our media and entertainment shows, I'd never form an opinion about any country based on the same.

Don't worry about your 'Effite Whiners'. Anyone who has cared has taken the time to get to know many of our allies in the war we are in. I don't believe Australians are to be chracterized by their 'Effite Whiners' any more than the US is.

The 'regular joes/janes' in Australia have pretty much the same values as the 'regular joes/janes' in the US. Live and let live. You don't bother us, we don't bother you. BUT, if you think you can destroy our way of life without us putting up a fight ... you're VERY mistaken. F*CK YOU, to the terrorists!

Is Aahnuld the first Austrian economist to be elected to a position of power anywhere in the world? This one should be worth watching, as his heroes are Adam Smith and Friedrich Hayek.

how 'bout some context? If you bother to read the entire story, the Hitler line comes in a paragraph describing the numerous allegations made against him...you know, like sexually assaulting women...nice GOP'er y'all got there...you can have him.

Following former Ambassador Joseph Wilson's "Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs" remark Democrat supportors have taken up that pathetic fantasy about "frog-marching" Republicans out of office - "Talk about being frog-marched out. I'd just love to see Governor Ahnold with his coat over his head being led into the courthouse... hee hee" - comments from democrats.org forum DNC 'Kicking Ass' (whoever came up with that name needs their arse...)

Reading that SMH forum presented a great deal of evidence of a vine bug in Aus... so many sour grapes!

I was tempted to ask the eternally agrieved winers who THEY voted for in CA... oops!

Nonetheless, they provide seconds, nay, minutes of entertainment to the casual reader. I wonder if they would be able to digest this one: the voters of California demonstrated a REAL COMMITMENT to diversity by electing an immigrant with a rare accent.

Would their little heads implode, I wonder?

He has also been dogged by allegations that he expressed admiration for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler in a 1975 interview, though those charges largely dissipated after two figures involved in the interview discounted them. Schwarzenegger, who, like Hitler, is a native of Austria, has vehemently denied that he ever had Nazi sympathies.

That's the context for the quote. After reading this, the entire paragraph might should have not been written, but the statement at the end isn't all that unreasonable. I'm sure there are a lot of people in this country who believe that Hitler was born in Germany.

Let's see;
Arnold is really Hitler,
Bush is really Hitler,
Every Republican running for office is a Hitler,

Gee, maybe the "Boys from Brazil" was a documentary about cloning after all!

Hardbottom, if you're moving to California, most of your guns are probably illegal.

Better leave them all with me, for safekeeping.

The only statement which would have been more slanderous would be ". . . who is a native of France . . ."

Easy on Georgia, Tim. The views of our fair state aren't reflected by the network we host. Or it's owner, Fidel's pal. As for the KKK comment. It was Ohio that elected a KKK backed gov. We're sick of being the whipping boy for the rest the county's guilt and for that matter liberal western white males who think they're being whitty by affecting a southern accent and saying somehting racist. We have a Black Female Mayor here in Atlanta and have elected blacks to our highest office since the 70s.

"Schwarzenegger, who, like Hitler, is a native of Austria..."

Hitler IS a native of Austria? Geez, he must be--what, about 110?

LOL. With respect to taking the quote out of context, if the context is not inappropriate, why did CNN remove the quote?

Arnie is from Austria, so some associate him with 'Dolf.

But let's get a real connection with someone's past. Do any Aussies know that US Senator Robert Byrd was once a high official in the Klu Klux Klan, who didn't appreciate the presence of the US Black person in any role other than slavery.
Now eventually US Senator Robert Byrd had a change of view or someone told him that a political career wasn't possible whilst being a member of the KKK and so, he is no longer a member in good standing. We must wonder if he really did quit when a couple of years ago, when he referred to someone as a white n*gg*r in public speech.

Since he was then a member of the all powerful and benevolent democrat party, he did not obtain a very large portion of grief. He basically got a pass.

Rambling back to the future, Arnold is being linked to a Nazi Jackass without any real proof. I was wondering if it isn't more fair to wonder why US Senator Robert Byrd hasn't been excoriated for his PROVEN shady past?

Reasons? 3 words (well 4 words, 2 are in a contraction of 'he is')

The CNN paragraph isn't that bad. Mentioning that AS and AH are from Austria is in context. Not a strong context, and it should have been edited out, but I wouldn't call it gratuitous.

milwauken

The comment is stupid and more than a little bigoted that is all.

Imagine if I was a reporter and wrote this about Kobe Bryant: "Kobe Bryant has been fending off accusations that he raped a woman in Colorado. Bryant, like Zacarias Moussaoui, is black."

You'd blow a gasket, wouldn't you? well, this is the same thing, really. Place of birth or ethnicity is not destiny.

I mean what is the theory? The fact that Arnold is austrian makes him more likely to be a nazi? Is every austrian under suspicion now? Now about all Germanic people generally? Its collective guilt in its ugliest form.

A.W.

Re: "Is Aahnuld the first Austrian economist to be elected to a position of power anywhere in the world?"

Eugen von Boehm-Bawerk worked in the Finance Ministry, don't know if in elected or appointed positions. He was on Austrian currency at some point, the 100-Schilling note:

See here.

Carl Menger was appointed tutor to Crown Prince Rudolph for several years; that might have had more significant impacts on later policy had the latter man not killed himself.

This thread was dead half a day ago, by my reckoning, and it's still mostly hilarious.

Way to go, CNN.

"You'd blow a gasket, wouldn't you? well, this is the same thing, really. Place of birth or ethnicity is not destiny.

The comments on the SMH site are absolutely hillarious:

"I agree that there is a lot of prejudice towards the US and the intelligence of its inhabitants paired with bad spelling." writes Tiu Fu Fong

"Good Luck to the big fella.......and bring on Bryan Brown for PM." writes Andrew

I've got nothing to say I just want this comments thread to get to 100.

LA Times' Mark Barabak was interviewed on Melbourne Australia's 774ABC radio last night and referred to Schwarzenegger as an 'Australian bodybuilder'; obviously unintentional but still quite amusing.

If we can have Kiwis described as Australians, we can only hope that Arnold is described as Australian.

A. W., you're comparing mentioning nationality with mentioning race.

Maybe a more accurate comparison would be "Jaque Chirac has been fending off accusations he is an enemy of democracy. Chirac, like Zacarias Moussaoui, is French."

Read the whole paragraph:

"He has also been dogged by allegations that he expressed admiration for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler in a 1975 interview, though those charges largely dissipated after two figures involved in the interview discounted them. Schwarzenegger, who, like Hitler, is a native of Austria, has vehemently denied that he ever had Nazi sympathies."

Your quote is taken badly out of context.

Andjam wrote: "A. W., you're comparing mentioning nationality with mentioning race."

Well, think for a moment. We all agree with the principle that racism is wrong. Why is it wrong, though? Well, I think most of us would say that it is a trait that 1) we can't help, and 2) is completely irrelevant.

Well, isn't it exactly the same with national origin? Arnold can't help having been born in Austria, and the fact he was born there is irrelevant anyway.

And are you really going to argue that there is a major moral difference between:

"I hate asian americans."

and:

"I hate chinese americans?"

No, both sentiments are equally reprehenisible.

Shit mate, you've scored a tonne of comments. Record? Put your hands together chaps. Oh and chapesses.

Tonne? Is that 160?

I did vote for Arnold but after viewing a clip of Mary Carey's that I got from Kazaa, I wish I could take the vote back. That girl got skills. Is "completing the arrow" a good euphemism for masturbation? Spelunking the monkey?

You got Linked to Instapundit , Right-Thinking from the left Coast, Little Green Footballs, and RodgerL.Simon - So you should have got around 300 comments
Better luck next recall Tim.

Be careful Tim, Acidman is from Georgia too.

So Calif didn't get its own Governor Carey, like New York once did.

I always knew her support was inflated ...

CNN are a cult of unconscionably offensive rapscallion and narcissistic, blood-curdling molesters of small furry animals.

Of course none of the commentariat have focused on Arnold's other nazi link - married to a woman whose grandfather - the appalling Joe Kennedy - was a nazi sympathiser and anti semite of epic proportions. I wonder why?

Shoooting! Them dead! All!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When did CNN staff molest the small fury critters,who raped and bestialised the victims, how, how many times, and have C.I.B been informed and are they about to lay charges against the criminals?

I'm watching Hillary Clinton on the Daily Show. Waiting for her to take a cheap shot at Arnold and, surprisingly, she has resisted. Her official policy must be to take the high road--oh yeah, and the fact that she doesn't want to alienate us Cali plebes who were star struck dumb.

Jon Stewart sucks as usual with his Letterman impersonation and the sucking up. What's fascinating me right now is how when Hillary sits down on the daily show loveseat her ass and thighs take on the proportion of a tractor tire inner tube with two thick logs sticking out with shoes attached.

Gee it looks like your Aussie media types wear the same tinfoil hats American media types do. They sounded as if they weren't dropped on their heads as children but were bounced by their parents. My dad always said that the Aussie troops he fought with were the toughest guys he ever met. I doubt they've changed nor that most Aussies are like the media. Its interesting to see Arnold win but it was clear given the mess the socialists had made of California that even Saddam could have beaten Grey Davis. Maybe even Bin Laden, no thats going too far but....

Arafat? He can run a place without even running it.

Me retart. Vote four Arnold. Most Collyvornians retarts too.

Please stop comparing me to Bush and Arnold.

Almost late enough to be totally off-topic:

Eugen von Boehm-Bawerk worked in the Finance Ministry, don't know if in elected or appointed positions.

In a parliamentary system, members of the Cabinet are usually, but not necessarily, members of the parliament itself. I'd think it's a fair bet that your economist was elected to a seat in the parliament.

I don't think I have seen such bad spelling in my life. Did you even go to school? What makes you think that people want to read your opinion when you're not even intelligent enough to figure out how to write it in plain old English?
