Did Ahrnoldt's sppech reming anyone of Hitler? I expected
his arm to fly up a la Peter Seller's in Dr Strangelove.

1. Scares me
I find it scary and the responses by the crowd also scary. This is bizarre.

6. Arnie is certainly no Obama.
These speeches are boring an uninspiring. I flipped past his and Laura.
Sad, sad, sad.

8. Absolutely. Sounded like a Nuremberg rally. "America Rules! Sig Heil!"
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 10:15 PM by JohnOneillsMemory
The tone of absolute certainty that America is the purest form of humanity, or a 'master nation', was unmistakable.

The use of his 'girly man' catch phrase smelled of impunity and aggression. That is to say, bullying, lawlessness, and cruelty.

That was double entendre for unilateral action with no restraints like the Iraq Invasion and the elimination of the US Bill of Rights.

9. Bush reminds me of Hitler more than Arnold. Much more.

10. What on Earth did it have to do with Hitler?
His accent isn't even German, and his speaking style is almost the opposite of Hitler.

Ron Silver's speech last night, however, sounded *exactly* like Hitler. Frightening. That man should be watched.

12. He said there aren't "two Americas", that we are one people, one
country, under our great and fearless leader Bush.

In other words: "Ein volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer!"

14. Bingo. "United We Stand Against All" or 'Deutscheland Uber Alles.'

13. When he talked about "the attack on the homeland"
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 09:58 PM by Must_B_Free
I thought that sounded particulatly Nazi-like

Maybe it was his unfurrowing, angry brow.
