If you listen to Ahnold closely enough...

16. . . .except. . .
. . . that line was originally used by Molly Ivins to describe Pat Buchanan in 1988 (or was it 1992 ??).

". . . the speech was better in the original German. . . ."

8. We have Austrian, German and other German-speaking DUers
as well as some wonderful German-speaking allies throughout the world. Let's not insult them by drawing superficial comparisons, ok?

18. I wasn't directing it as an insult towards them by any means
Just something about the Governator's speech, the hand gestures and the digital flag waiving in the background. It all just seemed eerily familiar.

To be perfectly honest with you, I think Tom DeLay comes the closet of any current American politician to resembling Hitler, by his corruption and fascist policies.

11. No he sounds like an artist
And he paints with the colors of black, white a shade of gray. Which astounds Republicans as that surpasses their color comprehension making him a genius and he comes from the future!

23. No
Just because someone has a German accent, doesn't mean they are Hitler.
