Rove Watch: ‘Welcome to the Colmes and Rove show.’
Rove Watch: ‘Welcome to the Colmes and Rove show.’
Yesterday, Karl Rove appeared on Fox News’s Hannity and Colmes, where once again, the hosts failed to disclose his ties to Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign, marking the 90th day without any identification. During his appearance, Rove talked about how Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers are liabilities for Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). Rove also joked about how he should get to be a co-host of the show:
ROVE: Good to be here, Alan. Thank you and welcome, as you say. Thank you and welcome to the Colmes and Rove Show.
COLMES: Look, you’ve had that made up. That’s –
ROVE: Well, actually, you told me to make it up. And it’s very clear and (INAUDIBLE) for you but, look, I think it ought to remain HANNITY COLMES.
COLMES: I know. But you wanted it Rove and Colmes.
Watch it:

That’s OK. Being introduced as Sean Hannity’s good friend is bad enough.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:00 amKKKarl appears on faux to talk about Obama….how “fair and balanced” of the reich-wing propaganda network.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:03 amKKKarl and FAUX NEWS are going to hammer on Obama because they know that he is going to win come November and they can`t stop him but they can still hurt him somewhat.These chimps are wasting time and $$$$ on discrediting Obama to the point that I am so over it and don`t care. I am a fan of Rev. Wright because he tells the truth and the Reich does not know what the word truth means.Fair and balanced my a$$.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:13 amWhy is Fox talking about Obama? Aren’t there any missing blondes this week?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:13 amI do hope that — once there is a Democrat in the White House and a Democratic majority in Congress next year — the Democrats will re-institute their boycott of FoxSnooze. There is really no good reason to pretend in any way that FoxSnooze is a news channel. This Reich-wing propaganda machine contributes nothing of value to the public discourse.
I would like nothing better than to see the muckrakers die on the vine for lack of access to the political majority. They have made their bed; time for them to lie in it.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:18 amSo, Ayers is now a spokesperson for Obama? Get over it…. Jebus, what’s next? “Satan taught Obama how to shoot hoops”, next on the O’Racist factor.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:31 amYeah,
May 6th, 2008 at 10:32 amWell what the FU(K is wrong with Alan Colmes? He is on THAT show AND AirAmerica and HE DOES NOT call ROve out?????
HELL-FU(KING-O
For the love of Bill Maher, this man shouldnt even be walking the streets a free man never mind have his own tv slot!!!! I don’t care if Fuc*ed Noise ever tell people he’s connected to McCain. Anyone who believes anything they hear or see on that channel deserves everything that happens thereafter.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:32 amEnjoy your “face time” sh1t flower. Let’s hope KKKarl brings the same kind of luck to FAUX News and McCrazy as he brought to that “permanent Republican majority” thingy. Before he heads off to prison, natch.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:34 amUgh, gross! McCain is bad enough, but Rove’s blubber face first thing in the morning is just too much. :P

I don’t think anyone can call Bill Ayers anything but a liability.
* Leader of the 1960s and 70s domestic terrorist group Weatherman
* “Kill all the rich people. … Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents.”
* Participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972
So you say.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:35 amIS THERE A WARRANT OUT FOR THIS GUY? NO, SO SHUT THE FU(K UP ABOUT HIM.
So you do not like his politics, yeah we get it, and THAT IS why we like him.

Obama met Ayers when they both belonged to a group which helps homeless people. Why do you hate homeless people?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:37 am“Why do you hate homeless people?”
Because the homeless have no home that the monied interests can forclose on and scab a little more off of the working people of this country. Bad homeless people for not giving a shit about the rich people.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:39 amIs Charles Keating a liability?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:41 amHomeless people don’t pay taxes and they don’t consume much. Hell, they can’t even afford blankets and food, how much are they going to contribute to the GDP?
I don’t care that a majority are veterans, they aren’t serving now are they?
And half of them are mental cases and belong in a ward somewhere. Wait. That would mean they are getting care and they would be a drain on our beautiful society. Never mind scratch that thought, let’s just pray to Jesus for a really cold winter and fewer blankets.

May 6th, 2008 at 10:44 amWhy? Did Keating belong to the same group as Obama which helped homeless people?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:45 amIs Rev Hagee a liability?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:47 amIs the woman who fathered his kids and had to watch McCain play with his new squeezebox while she died a liability?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:49 amIs the picture of McCain hugging Bush after Bush drug his name through the sewer a liability?
May 6th, 2008 at 10:51 amZooey Says:
Is Rev Hagee a liability?
Why? Did Rev. Hagee also help homeless people?
Oh no. I remember now. Rev. Hagee said God made all those black people in New Orleans homeless in order to punish gays.
May 6th, 2008 at 10:52 amIs being old and senile and having your face slough off on camera a liability?
His skin fits him like a bad fiting Edgar suit.

Rev. Hagee is a liability, although he can help pull in some votes.
That would be the “God hates blacks and gays” vote, right?

Good morning, ‘Z’ster’.
Good point. While the Reverending Wright Story played 24/7, no one was asking the ‘Great Whore’ preacher anything. I know they don’t have to provide equal time to non-candidates, but this was just over the top, much like Hagee.
I don’t watch CBN, but Hagee seems to own the channel, preaching fire & brimstone for Iran, shoring up propaganda for Israel and thwarting & warping religion as we knew it on a daily basis.
C’mon, Obama, put her away today…& then GET READY TO RUUUUMMMMMBBBBLLE!
May 6th, 2008 at 10:56 amI wonder if a guy who engineered the theft of two Presidential elections and the fraudulent conviction of a state governor could be a liability…
May 6th, 2008 at 10:58 amIs not knowing the difference between Al Qeada, Shiite and Sunni a liability?
HELL YES.
Stupid fcuking Dumya, the nation’s #1 liability.

I don’t know if voters want to dig back 30+ years for a scandal about a man’s marital problems when returning from years as a POW. Some may. Most won’t.
No, let’s not talk about McCain’s serial adultery after returning home to find his wife had been disfigured in a car accident, then deserting her and his children for an uber-rich debutante. That is not nearly as bad as Obama belonging to a group which helps poor people.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:00 amI don’t know if voters want to dig back 30+ years for a scandal about a man’s marital problems when returning from years as a POW. Some may. Most won’t.
Only if you are going back 30 years in a black man’s past.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:01 amIf the remaining undeclared SDs sit on their votes much longer, the damage to the party, and subsequent McIIIrd victory in November will be squarely on their shoulders.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:01 amAnd the Democratic party may never recover. If the Greens could find a charismatic leader, they could turn this country into a multiparty system, and that might not be a bad thing.
then deserting her and his children for an uber-rich debutante.
Would you be referring to the c*ntrollopy wife with the makup trowelled on?

How long ago was Bill Ayers a member of the Weather Underground?
May 6th, 2008 at 11:03 amRove is nothing but a fat lying piece of human crap who should be in jail instead of lying on television. Good Freaking Grief bush’s worthless father fired the asswipe for cheating and lying 20 years ago and the fat fool gets to spout his bullshit on national tv. @%$#@$#@$# I just don’t freaking understand much of anything anymore.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:03 amMost conservatives embrace Rove because they are naive. Rove is not the genius brain behind Bush. He is the arrogant egomaniac who destroyed the Republican Party.
Ask your Republican friends sometime what their party stands for in 2008. Most cannot even answer. The modern day Republican Party has no platform. They will give you the old answers about cutting spending and small government, but how are those the modern day Republican positions? Have the last three Republican Presidents cut any spending, or reduced the size or power of government?
Even on issues like illegal immigration, there is a disconnect between the average joe Republican’s rabid anti-immigration stance, and the corporate, Bush/McCain amnesty plan.
Now take a look at the Democratic side. Despite their nomination battle, the Dems have a clear platform of ideas and positions. They have clearly defined the Democratic platform, which I think was lacking in 2004.

“Those types of descriptions didn’t turn out to be much of a liability for Ronald Reagan.”
Well maybe this nation can learn from it’s mistakes.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:03 amAs Randy says:
May 6th, 2008 at 11:03 amThe Greens have done NOTHING in terms of gaining representation on the local level. To just think they can do it top down is insane.

So why did you bring up Ayers, f_ckwit?
Oh yeah — scary black men!!!
May 6th, 2008 at 11:08 amThe modern day Republican Party has no platform
That may be true about an OVERT platform, but the COVERT one, fueled by messianic armageddon hastening, to return us to the 15th century of religious fanatacism & political intimidation, is working just fine, thank you.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:08 am#41, Alecto, please clarify - which Randy? And the greens in my neck of the woods are doing lots of community activities in terms of recycling, awareness, etc…
May 6th, 2008 at 11:10 amMcCain’s real liability wil come when he is debating Obama. On one hand you have an smart, charismatic leader who appeals to 72% of Americans.
On the other hand you have a bumbling old man with a temper whose only card is to wrap himself in a flag and praise Jesus. That will appeal to the other 28% who are still technically Americans. By birth only, not by principle.

“I don’t know if voters want to dig back 30+ years for a scandal…”
Says the troll who wants voters to be influenced by an aquaintence of a candidates acts 30+ years ago (Ayers).
May 6th, 2008 at 11:16 amNice try hypocrite but McCain is much more fatally flawed than your ilk wants to admit to itself. Just wait until the General Elections when the spotlight begins to focus on Old Johnny’s alliances, his defence of torture, tax breaks for the rich, continued aggressions in the ME, flip-flopping and shameless panderings. The first debate with Obama will show America just how incompetent your sorry candidate is.
No he isn’t a black man, he is a distinguished professor and advocate for the have nots.

Hey - speaking of liabilities… I wonder if being married to a guy who once shoved a cigar up an intern’s shame cave could be considered a liability.

Yup, Obama’s toast.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:21 am“What a country,” Ayers said in 2001. “It makes me want to puke.”
Even more apropos today than ever.
Unless your a piss-stained Boosh-boot-licker who believes in treason and corruption, then you’re probably as happy as a pig in shit, right mouse?

Sorry, its Randi (My bad) as in Rhodes
As for the Green party. They need local and state representation, not soup kitchens. Though we do need soup kitchens now, more than ever, since the likes of shoeless and Rove are roaming the countryside free to spew their Anti-American sentiment. I for one would not object to someone “blowwing up” Hagee’s church. None of those attendees are “innocent,” they have put the hate in hatred.

Meanwhile, President Bush’s former homeland security adviser and current intelligence advisory board member Fran Townsend is following in Tony Snow’s footsteps and joining CNN as a contributor.
For the details, see:

You have missed my point. Perhaps I have been unclear. I don’t want the voters to be influence by Ayers. ThinkProgress brought him up, above, and I agree with Rove’s comments that Ayers is a liability.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. You and Karl are correct.
In the manufactured-scandal media environment, not wearing a flag-shaped chunk of metal made by Chinese workers making nine cents an hour is a damn liability.

Maybe nine years ago when he was the unpredictable maverick tilting at the windmills of conventional wisdom. He was charismatic back then.
Now, not so much. Now he’s just a lock-step position-changing bamboo-chomping pander bear.
Hey - maybe he’ll pick this guy as a running mate!
May 6th, 2008 at 11:39 amMcCain himself is a liability.
May 6th, 2008 at 11:48 amHey anymouse19 @#5
let’s see, Obama was 8 or 9 years old when Ayers’ Weathermen blew up 3 of their own members in 1970. They did also blow up a police station later that year (no fatalities or injuries).
May 6th, 2008 at 11:55 amI don’t think any terrorists started recruiting kids that young until post 9-11 or so. But, according to your argument, because Obama met the man 30-years later, Obama MUST be a terrorist.
Yep…I can see how that makes sense.
