Monday, August 25, 2003   The Slander Continues The slander of Arnold Schwarzenegger continues. An ever-so convenient discovery that his father was an SA member [gasp!] in a document opened for the first time in 2002. The Simon Wiesenthal Center will reopen its investigation, last performed in 1990, and make the results public after giving them to the candidate. Now, mind you, everyone knows that Gustav Schwarzenegger was a Nazi and served in the German military. An Austrian investigation in 1947 and the Wiesenthal Center in 1990 cleared him of any complicity in war crimes. Arnold himself has been outspoken in his support of the Center, and as an anti-Nazi. He has won two separate slander suits from those describing him as having Nazi leanings. The timing of this discovery by the Wiesenthal Center stinks. It could not have appeared to be any more politically motivated. Were Gustav Schwarzenegger Satan incarnate, and the doom of millions of Jews, it would have not one iota of bearing on Arnold�s candidacy for governor of California. We are not responsible for the sins of our fathers in this country. In fact, to date, all the evidence suggests that papa was, at best, a willing soldier for the Nazi army and that Arnold has repeatedly repudiated all that his father may have stood for. This is just mud slinging, and truly ill advised by the Wiesenthal Center. No matter their perspective on the election, they have just given Arnold just cause to find another charity to spend his time and money on. And I wouldn�t blame him. I would be exceedingly curious to discover who at the Center determined that this was an investigation that was immediately necessary. Old Gustav is dead. No one could go to trial for any crimes that he might have committed. The tax exempt status of the Wiesenthal Center could be called into question if this was the result of political partisanship. It�s just plain curious. -- posted by Chuck at Monday, August 25, 2003 | E-mail | Permalink | Main | 0 comments
