With Malice Toward Nuns, Arnold's Army Marches On

[Snellius]

The truth is available only on AM talk radio these days, and I think a couple of recruits in Arnold's Army did what they had to do. They spotted protest signs in the crowd and goose-stepped over to take care of business.

Not that they could have known, but the signs were carried by two Catholic nuns in their 60s. According to the nuns, their attackers snatched them away.

The silencing of dissent, coming just a day after Arnold denied reports that he once said he admired Hitler, had the nuns trembling.

"A sign was ripped from my hands," said Jo'Ann DeQuattro, a Holy Name sister whose sign said, "Groping Equals Sexual Harassment."

"I was assaulted physically," said Sister Jo'Ann.

She and Sister France White, of the Holy Child order, were headed for the exits when I saw them. Sister France had taped a sign to herself that said "Grope Free Zone." Sister Jo'Ann had her arm around Sister France to protect her.

Sister France said she gave a "groping" protest sign to a man who held a "Recall Arnold" sign, and watched as he was set upon and had the sign ripped away from him.

"People began fighting with him, and he was escorted out," said Sister France.

As for her own sign getting swiped, Sister France said:

"I believe a woman standing behind me grabbed it. A whole group of people were around us saying, 'Go home' and things like 'Get a life.' "

Sister France still had the "Grope Free Zone" sign taped to her when they decided to leave the rally, so Sister Jo'Ann suggested an exit strategy.

"She was afraid there was going to be more of it, so she said, 'We've gotta get out of here,' and walked behind me, real close behind, so Schwarzenegger followers wouldn't be hitting me as we left."

1. That they would attack Catholic nuns like that is sickening

How dare they insult women who have given thier lives up to God? You just don't know how mad I am right now.

5. Nazi thugs beat up on women in general

...because they're stinking cowards who know most women won't hit back.

10. IMPEACH ARNOLD!

Why wait 6 months for a Recall?

If the Democrats have any balls, they will impeach him on the spot!

2. I was at a protest against shrub when a wingnut

kept yelling at me to put my sign down. It was a pic of shrub with 'Illegitimate' across the pic. If she had touched my sign I would have had to knock her out. NO ONE better touch me or my signs. I'm not a violant person but, I've had enough shit from these fascist rightwingers.

She seemed to be around 50ish so it was an even match :evilgrin:

3. This is shocking

Arnold cannot be allowed to win.

I'm sure the Republicans will tomorrow say that it was "in the past" - yesterday after all.

7. Sad...frightening...

What is wrong with people? In my fantasy world, Ahnuld would step up to the plate and condemn this kind of behavior from would-be supporters. He could do so and gain even more support from the political center...it would be a smart move and a chance to elevate the standards for disagreement in matters of politics.

I wonder how this is getting played, if at all, on the other side?

9. Ahnold is a STOOPID idiot

We can't have a STOOPID president and a STOOPID governor at the same time.
It's not fair !!!
--- to have to watch them stumble with their words every night on T.V.-
-----Ahhnold can barely pronounce his "wuds" and Smirk can barely speak period.

11. Wait - you mean...

...Arnold's supporters have no respect for women?

Does the media know about this?

[WindRavenX]

12. Damn this is getting ugly

The insanity of this whole recall has reached truly mind-boggling levels :puke:
Those poor women.
And even worse are the women who allow Arnold to continue to not answer questions about this issue!!!
