Arnold's female fans blame the woman he manhandled, not him. Pathetic.

SNIP...." In Modesto on Saturday afternoon, three young women admired Shriver's prominent cheekbones and declared afterward that they needed to diet. "Then maybe I'll get someone like Arnold," said Tiffany Lopez, 21, who "definitely, definitely" planned to vote for Schwarzenegger -- her first vote, ever. The women issue? "Not an issue at all," she said. "I'd let him grope me any time!"

Other women said much the same. Or they said that they were sure the women who accused Schwarzenegger of molesting them had instigated the incidents. Osborn, the computer engineer, said that she had seen Schwarzenegger on two occasions in Orange County many years ago, when he was Mr. Universe and her ex-husband, a body builder, had taken her to competitions. "The women were all over him," she said. "He didn't care about them; they wanted him."

OMG what has happened to our country?

[jiacinto]

1. OMG

Do these women have that little self-respect?

[Robin Hood]

9. Ever watch the bachelor?

Or any other so called reality shows? That ought to answer your question.

[Woodstock]

17. or Girls Gone Wild

or that dating show - forgot the name - is it Elimidate? or the other one where the girls take their tops off in the hot tub on national TV? all for attention and 15 minutes of fame. Some day maybe they will learn they are giving up any chance for attaining personal power in our society, not to mention self-respect and peace of mind. They see Britney get away with this behavior, and she makes lots of money and get lots of attention. What they fail to realize is she's one in a million, and they will never be in her shoes.

These people would fit in nicely in the Roman Empire - one of Caligula's bashes? It's times like these that I can almost sympathize with the holy rollers who say we are a depraved nation - but then I regain my sanity, and recall how they want women to obey the head of the family (the male) staying home and keeping house, not having reproductive choice (or much of any choice, really), and instituting a state religion (their brand of Christianity that in no way, shape, or form resembles anything Jesus ever said or did.)

2. Well did you know your ass from a hole in the ground when you were

21?

Ten bucks says a few years from now, she'll read those comments and regret them.

And the blame the victim attitude is nothing new..Ted Bundy had women all over him too. Who knew? :shrug:

[madfloridian]

5. Yes, I did!

I was an honor student in college, married, with a kid on the way. I would never have acted like that.

Well......maybe once....when Elvis came to town. Oh, wait, when James Dean died.....I was frantic.... but other than that...by 21 I outgrew stuff like that.

21 is too old to think like that.

[RapidCreek]

30. Sure did know my ass from a hole in the ground.

the words this dumb bitch spouted are those of an 8 year old child....not a 21 year old woman. If she's that fucking ignorant at 21 she'll be that ignorant for life.

[Chovexani]

31. I'm 22...

...and I know my ass from a hole in the ground.

Stupidity knows no age.

[dsc]

3. I read an interesting op ed piece in the Plain Dealer today

What if Arnold were groping men and not women? Even if Arnold were female and doing that he would be toast. I hadn't really thought of that to be blunt but it sure put it in some perspective. Also I, for one, don't find him that attractive but I have always been partial to littler guys.

[chaumont58]

4. These are just groupies

They get to vote too.

[madfloridian]

6. A granny groupie.....this is awful stuff.

SNIP..."The 60-year-old mother of three daughters and grandmother of one, an independent voter, did not want to hear any "trash stories from the filthy press about Arnold and sex." "Arnold wasn't president when he supposedly did those things that women said he did," she said. "And it's all old garbage against him, anyway."..."

Unreal!


:freak:

[LibDemAlways]

12. A moderate independent friend of mine

surprised me today when I brought up the groping issue by responding that he didn't think it was a big deal and that all men have "groped" at one time or another. I was floored. I've known this guy for years and know he doesn't make inappropriate moves on women. Why would he tolerate it in a governor? He didn't want to go there and changed the subject.

[shanti]

40. yes, they always want to change the subject

any further scrutiny of their "opinions" about this would uncover their true nature.

[CO Liberal]

27. Yet She'll Continue to Bash Clinton......

With the same old garbage.......

:crazy:

[Davis_X_Machina]

8. "Groupies" or "Gropies"? ;-)

.

[jiacinto]

7. This makes me want to puke

It really does. Sometimes I still think we are back in the 19th century.

[PurityOfEssence]

10. Texas women defeated the ERA; it makes perfect sense to me

[WindRavenX]

11. "I'd let him grope me anytime"

Oh
my
god.
Ladies, what the fawk??
I cannot believe I just read that BS :argh:

[sandnsea]

13. operative words - 'let him'

These little twits are confusing the difference between a consenual grope and an assault. I'd bet my last penny that if somebody groped one of them, they'd run straight to some 'tough guy' boyfriend and demand he protect her 'honor'. The worst part is, they have absolutely no clue as to what this is all about in the first place and wouldn't even be interested if it weren't for Arnold.

[WoodrowFan]

25. Wouldn't you love to have seen

the reporter reach out and grab her breast roughly. When the twit objected he could say "but that's what Arnold did to those women!."

OK, OK, two wrongs don't make a right and the reporter would have been guilty of sexual assualt but JEEZE LOUISE these people have no ability to put themselves in another's shoes!

[RapidCreek]

32. I wonder if she'd let Don Knotts grope her?

If she wouldn't and he did anyway, would it be ok?

RC

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. It's the climate we live in.

Guys like to oogle bimbos on t.v. and since the money and 15 minutes of fame are good, it's not too difficult to find women who will be willing to debase themselves in front of millions of people. Look at this latest craze of women kissing women. It's not about the inner relationship between two women who are expressing their love for each other, it's about getting young male viewers excited.

The trickle down effect is that women get blamed if men act on those feelings.

[lumpy]

15. And what's with the baby Britneys

lined up, shaking their booties at Arnold rallys with their I love Arnold signs ?

[Woodstock]

16. sorry, wrong thread

.

[Terwilliger]

18. The 15+ women he manhandled?

This is not surprising coming from the woman-hating right.

[Kanola]

19. How embarrassing .. I live near Modesto

I read the Modesto Bee's account when Robot predator swung through here. I think one moron also said she would vote for him because "I like his body". UGH!!!

I talked one person this weekend into voting NO on the recall, and this person is not political.

NO on the RECALL!

[WindRavenX]

20. Oh god

:puke: :puke:
Just curious has Arnold actually *said* anything about his policy, or is it just one liners like "Ahm going to terminate gray davis?"
Didn't think so.

[Kanola]

23. Robot Predator has policies????

You are right, I did not go near the rally but from California media it is the same crap you probably heard such as "I am going to clean house" ad nauseum. All he has is inane one liners. Our state is in such a mess and these foolish twits who are going to vote for him do not understand that the recall, if it succeeds, is going to hurt us even more.

Any polices he espouses are from Pete Wilson.

[NicoleM]

21. A very wise man once sang

"Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people."

[tom_paine]

22. Our country stopped desrving freedom awhile ago

Reality is just catching up.

[Snellius]

24. So does Arnold. Check out this interview:

SCHWARZENEGGER: I'm sorry about it. Well, let me tell you something, that no one every came to me in my life and said to me that I did anything, then said, ``I don't want you to do that and you went over the line, Arnold.'' Now, all of a sudden, isn't it odd that three days and four days before the campaign, all of a sudden, all these women want to have an apology? Isn't it odd?

JENNINGS: Are you blaming the women?

SCHWARZENEGGER: I mean, you have common sense, Peter. You can figure it out for yourself.

JENNINGS: Are you...

SCHWARZENEGGER: Come on now.

JENNINGS: ... well, no, you figure it out for me.

SCHWARZENEGGER: I mean, no, no, no, no. But I'm just trying to tell you, you know it and I know it.

[West Coast Democrat]

26. This article simply reflects poorly on Arnold.........

and his entire campaign. Women stating they'd let Arnold grope them anytime? And this is his support base?

[Selwynn]

28. Women = the greatest threat to Woman's issues :(

Sad and true.

[noiretextatique]

34. boy are you ever right, selwynn! very sad indeed. eom

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

29. "I'd give Bill Clinton a blowjob"

"just for keeping abortion legal"

remember that one? :)

[Chovexani]

33. Hey, I would

Who wouldn't? :evilgrin:

[Uzybone]

36. At least itll be thier choice....

the ones manhandled by Arnie had no choice.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

38. This was in response to allegations Clinton had

groped, raped, and sexually assaulted numerous women, and had an affair with Lewinsky which was overtly inappropriate, since he had hire and fire power over her. I have no idea if those allegations are true or not, and I have no idea whether or not the allegations against Arnold are true or not.

Either way, it's pretty easy for people to excuse the behavior of people they consider on "their side"

No Recall/Yes Bustamante :)

[CO Liberal]

35. If Those Women Didn't Want Their Breasts Groped.......

...they shouldn't have gone through puberty.

Unbelievable......

[noiretextatique]

37. yep...they were clearly "asking for it"

because they have breats :crazy: i bet this young woman has no idea why she supports the giant chimp...except, she likes his body :puke:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

39. I was talking with some DUers...

about this.

I was watching Comedy Central and had the misfortune to catch a commercial for "Girls Gone Wild". As I watched these emancipated, young women who had grown up with the the full benefits of the feminist movement flash their tits, french each other, do jumping jacks topless, and generally engage in some of the most demeaning behavior I have ever seen a fellow woman engage in, I asked myself, "Was this what it was all about? All those women who marched, all those women who were jailed, all those women who refused to settle for being a second class citizen? So that some young gal could flash her tits in Florida for 15 minutes of notoriety?"

It just about broke my heart.

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. OMG is right!

Unbelievable to the point that I am left speechless. :wow:
