A word on our friend Ahnold...
Oct. 9th, 2003 01:30 amI have just one comment on the Ahnold situation.
On top of everything else, what bothers me, really, is that he claimed Adolf Hitler as a role model.
This doesn't bother me because if means he's anti-semitic. It doesn't bother me because he's idolizing an evil dictator who was responsible for the murder of thousands. He explained that he admires Hitler for starting with nothing and rising up on his own, but doesn't admire the things he did.
What bothers me is that the man is stupid enough to say that he admires Hitler in the first place. I mean, dude. If you want to admire someone like that, pick Abe Lincoln. The man lived in a log cabin, for goodness sake.
It's just stupid to use Adolf Hitler as your example, whatever your reason.
It scares me that a man foolish enough to use Adolf Hitler as his "rags-to-riches" role model has been elected to power.
