Meanwhile, Austrian gym owner Kurt Marnul told The Associated Press on Saturday that as a teenager Schwarzenegger helped break up neo-Nazi rallies at least twice. ``It's absurd. It's 100 percent wrong that he could have ever liked Hitler,'' Marnul said at his gym, where the former world champion bodybuilder began training when he was 15. Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said that if Schwarzenegger did express admiration for Hitler he should apologize. But he added that the actor has worked on the center's behalf for years, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars and speaking out in favor of its pro-tolerance programs. ``For the 20 years that I've known Arnold, I can say without reservations, he is not an anti-Semite, he is not a supporter of neo-Nazis or racists,'' Hier said in a telephone interview Saturday from Jerusalem. nytimes.com
