I Admired Hitler’

Yet even as he tried to put out that fire, another broke out.

ABCNEWS obtained a copy of an unpublished book proposal with quotes from a verbatim transcript of an interview Schwarzenegger gave in 1975 while making the film Pumping Iron.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

The author of the book proposal, Pumping Iron's director, George Butler, told ABCNEWS today that the quotes needed to be seen in context, and that Arnold never said anything anti-Semitic.

"I cannot remember any of these," Schwarzenegger told ABCNEWS. "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."

In the final days of his campaign, Schwarzenegger may be battling yet another opponent: his own past.

6. LA Whore Press Silent

Amazing to see the broadcast media so silent on this; guess they can't get their head out of Arnold's ass!

10. I just keeps getting crazier and crazier, doesn't it?

This lunatic only craves worshippers. He doesn't know jack about the nuts and bolts of governing, nor does he care.

Screw Ahnuld and the SS goon car he rode in on.

"Cruz Bustamante to Drop Out" -Rumor

5. I have heard about this concept.

Supposedly polls say that if Bustamante is out, support of recall drops.

18. Cruz can run against Gov. Ahnold

in a couple of years. People have made their decision. These crowds he's drawing aren't persuaded by second-hand seventies' stuff. He warned his flock on the Tonight Show that this was going to happen. Acted like a stand-up kinda guy. Probably got a 5% bump in the polls.

And face it, Indian money and all, Cruz just didn't try very hard.

3. "and for what he did with it." ...now that could be seen as

anti-semitism... because what Hitler did do with that power was try and wipe out an entire group of people.....while conquering a lot of Europe...

17. Hello ADL... where are you now?

4. and only 24 hours ago, the dems had little faith

We all knew his past, it was only a matter of time before it came back to kick him in the ass.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

7. BINGO!!!!!!

Please, I ask that all Cali DUers do what you can to stop this coup!!!!!!!

[flamingyouth]

8. It was the '70s - everyone was gangbanging & loving Hitler

You know...

[bleedingheart]

12. snort...

guffaw....now you made me almost spit up on my keyboard...

[flamingyouth]

14. Couldn't resist

Man, I couldn't MAKE this crap up!!!

[cprise]

21. Bet he doesn't get a pie in the face, though

Those filling-flingers wouldn't dare.

20. Gangbanging???

Where is Clark's time machine? :evilgrin:

[Emboldened Chimp]

9. So, it's not anti-semtic

to say you admire the man who tried to exterminate Jews?

Um, OKAY!

[ChompySnack]

19. Yeah, not just admired the man but

"I admire him for being such a good public speaker and for what he did with it."

So he admired that he used his speeches to exterminate a race of people.

Didn't he refuse to repudiate a Nazi friend of his who was a convicted war criminal?

I now hate Schwarzenegger and will never rent or watch another movie of his.

[joshcryer]

23. I think it's okay to admire anyone...

But he clearly didn't just admire Hitler, he admired "what did with it." This is the issue here, in my mind.

I know people who admire serial killers, but it's not like these people are pro-serial killer, you know?

[nadinbrzezinski]

11. Armie yuo are a NAZI

[neomonkey]

13. What I just don't friggin get...

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

Seriously, aren't there any POSITIVE role models who fits this profile he could have chosen instead of fucking Adolf Hitler?

Didn't Maria say he was a smart man??

[cprise]

15. OMG!

I'm speechless!

[impeach the gop]

16. I knew he had a ego problem but hells bells

This just about rips it. Looks like the gopiggies haven't been doing their homework with all the other gopiggy "fires" they can't seem to put out.

24. Hitler?

The quotes were supposedly taken out of context ... so tell me exactly in what context the words "I admired Hitler" could actually be a positive statement. :mad:
