Re: Well said Tractor......
A LOT of people involved in this post really need to double and triple check the history of socialism in Austria before they go about labelling anybody a liar...especially when attacking someone who, you know, grew up in Austria.
Karl Renner was the (non-elected) Federal President of Austria from 1945-1950. Austria did not have an elected leader until Renner's death in 1951. Renner was a reknowned Marxist author who laid a significant Marxist/Socialist footprint in post-WWII Austria. Socialist Theodor Körner served as President from 1951-1957...and in fact, Austria elected Socialist leaders in every election until 1986. However, the socialist hold on Austria began to wane in 1972 when leaders reluctantly agreed to open up and sign the country's first bi-lateral free-trade agreement.
Anyone who thinks Arnold grew up in a free-trade, freedom-loving, business-friendly country really is just skewing the story to fit their own inherent biases. I don't care what your CNN story says.
Google baby, it's your best friend.
