For governor, criticism drowns out adoring screams
By Tom Chorneau
ASSOCIATED PRESSSACRAMENTO - During California's recall campaign and through much of his first year in office, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's public appearances had the feel of a Hollywood premiere, marked by packs of adoring fans clamoring to see the megastar-turned-political phenom.Typical of the adulation was a rally at the state Capitol on the last day of the 2003 recall campaign, when Schwarzenegger stood beside Twisted Sister singer Dee Snider and faked playing guitar before hundreds of screaming supporters.
These days, Schwarzenegger's public reception is markedly different.
He has been trailed since early in the year by a committed band of detractors, a vocal mix of teachers, nurses and unionized public employees opposed to one or another of Schwarzenegger's proposals or policies...
Amazing how those facts get omitted... Not one mention that the demonstrations were labor-union coordinated and made-up of their members?
HERE is the truth, as reported by the "Vast Right Wing" la.indymedia.org:
Mass Rally vs. Arnold's Education Cuts
Thousands of teachers, school employees, and other citizens concerned about cuts to education held a mass rally in Pershing Square yesterday to demand that funding stolen from schools by Governor Schwarzenegger be restored immediately.
Above: Thousands of Unionists and others rally against Schwarzenegger's attacks upon education and labor.You know that the AP's "anti-Arnold" bias is REALLY bad...
...when even the ultra-left wackos like indymedia scoop them on the TRUTH. :o)CLICK HERE for the rest of that thread
Why aren't those people at work?LOL!
They ARE "at work" during these "protests" -- as PAID union thugs!From a RECENT "anti-Arnold" rally in Pershing Square, as reported at la.indymedia.org:
In response to last week's massive demonstrations in Sacramento and Los Angeles, Schwarzenegger said he is aligned with the hundreds of thousands of Californians who signed petitions supporting his proposals for a possible special election...THIS is the key.
Our message to the "union thugs" and the "cancer from A.N.S.W.E.R." needs to be:
