[quote name="Lizard_King"]That seems like a pretty innuendo based attack on Arnold...for one thing, it sounds like this Waldheim fellow had a whole lot of people fooled. If someone is a Nazi, and you say you are disgusted by Naziism and never do anything that suggests otherwise, perhaps the benefit of the doubt is in order...What's more, I think he's probably done more than all of the rest of Austria to make up for it. But I guess so long as someone in the media says that Arnold has a Nazi problem, it's only fair that he actually have one. Otherwise they'd have to rely on other smear tactics , or potentially (dare I say it?) confront him on all the issues he ducks. [quote name="slate also"]Rather than confront his Waldheim problem head-on, Schwarzenegger has proclaimed his disgust for Nazism, raised money for education about the Holocaust, traveled to Israel (where he met with then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin), and given generously to the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, which in 1997 bestowed on him its National Leadership Award. "He wants no truck with … Waldheim," the Wiesenthal Center's Rabbi Marvin Hier told the Jerusalem Post. "He probably did not have any clue as to the seriousness of the allegations against Waldheim at that time [i.e., 1986]. To suggest that Arnold's an anti-Semite is preposterous. He's done more to further the cause of Holocaust awareness than almost any other Hollywood star."[/quote][/quote]
