Not that Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of my favorite people or anything but this site Dancing with Nazis is making some HUGE leaps of logic akin to: Mosquitoes have legs; Bears have legs, therefore bears are mosquitoes.
The site alledges that Arnold is a Nazi, with their "proof" being a belt buckle that he is wearing. The buckle is a skull surrounded by fleur-de-lis. The skull reminds me more of Mexican Day of the Dead imagery, while most people associate fleur-de-lis with France (or heck, the Boy Scouts).
Again, I might not like Arnold, but their leaps of logic are nothing but laughable

Did you actually bother to read this website. What they are saying is that it is very inapropriate for a Governor and especially one with the family history of Arnold Schwarzenegger to wear such a symbol in the national media, not that Schwarzenegger is an overt Nazi.
of course I read the site, and watched the videos, and read a bunch of their other sites making outlandish Nazi connections to musical artists such as Laibach and Marylin Manson...
It's a SKULL, and a very Mexican looking one at that, not a Totenkopf...
Dig deeper into that guy's websites... the Marylin Manson-Nazi connection he makes is almost comical in its stretch of a connection. The basics of it are: The Nazis had a faction called The Brown Shirts. Modern German slang calls them the Brown Shits. Marylin Manson has a song that has "Shit" in the title (I think its something like "New Old Shit" or something like that). Therefore because Marylin Manson has a song with "shit" in the title, and there is a derogatory slang for Neo-Nazis that has "shit" in it= Marylin Manson is a Nazi.
So, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a Mexican and that's why he is wearing a Totenkopf? Marilyn Manson does use a Nazi Aesthetic. It is quite common among certain rock genres these days. Remember the Nazi-SS symbol that Kiss used in the name of their band? They were one of the early ones. The drummers in "This is the New Shit" are identical to those in Leni Riefenstahl's famous Nazi Propaganda film, Triump Des Willens (Triumph of the Will). Well, Charlie Manson was also a big fan of Hitler's, carving a Swastika on his head.
