Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: New Add Comparing Arnold to George Wallace OUTED

Boi From Troy OUTS Rob Reiner with Reiner Strategist behind gay attacks on Schwarzenegger.

Something seemed out-of-character when Equality California started comparing the man they described as “America’s Most Gay-Friendly Governor” with George Wallace. Matt Szabo even remarked that he, “to wonder whether there were secondary motives or agendas behind the decision.”

I think I have found the secondary agenda–and it involves rumored Gubernatirial candidate Rob Reiner.

Well the Fox News affiliate in Reno buries a lede that could reveal the true story behind the scenes here: “The ad, which was funded by Equality California and produced by Los Angeles-based political strategists Chad Griffin and Mark Amour, starkly presents the choice facing Schwarzenegger in terms of the civil rights struggle of the 1960s.”

Chad Griffin, you may know, is Rob Reiner’s political consultant…the same Rob Reiner who has been mentioned as a possible candidate against Schwarzenegger in 2006.

Flap hasn’t seen the ad on Los Angeles broadcast television yet but will keep an eye out for the smear. Matt Szabo has more on why it is NOT in the Gay Communities best interest to bag on Arnold and why the ad is over the top, Wallace-Schwarzenegger Comparison in Pro-Marriage Ad Crosses the Line.
