Rove Blasts Michelle Obama’s Patriotism: ‘I Don’t Think She Did Well On Saying I Love America’
Rove Blasts Michelle Obama’s Patriotism: ‘I Don’t Think She Did Well On Saying I Love America’
In a speech last night at the Democratic convention, Michelle Obama “began a weeklong effort to present her husband — and his entire family — as embodiments of the American dream.” The Houston Chronicle writes, “Despite Republican attempts to paint her as a liberal elitist, she said in her speech that she knows from her family’s struggles and successes ‘that the American dream endures.’”
Totally disregarding Michelle Obama’s repeated efforts throughout her speech to spell out “why she loves her country,” Karl Rove — an informal adviser to John McCain — went on Fox News last night and proclaimed that Obama didn’t show “adequate enough” love for her country:
I don’t think she did too well on saying I love America. That wasn’t adequate enough because, look, people are gonna hear that, and then those that have paid attention to her earlier comments are gonna try and square those two off.
Watch it:
Clearly, Rove was prepared to degrade Michelle Obama as un-American regardless of what she said last night. But here’s what the rest of America heard in her speech:
I know firsthand from their lives — and mine — that the American dream endures. […]
I stand here today at the crosscurrents of that history — knowing that my piece of the American dream is a blessing hard won by those who came before me. […]
That is the thread that connects our hearts. That is the thread that runs through my journey and Barack’s journey and so many other improbable journeys that have brought us here tonight, where the current of history meets this new tide of hope. That is why I love this country.
At the end of the interview, Fox host Brit Hume said Rove will be arriving in Denver at the Democratic convention today. “We know that thousands of Democratic delegates are looking forward to your arrival, and they will cheer you on and welcome you as they have us,” Hume said.

Typical KKKarl, always saying the opposite, trying to depress the Democratic base.

August 26th, 2008 at 9:51 amThat wasn’t adequate enough because, look, people are gonna hear that, and then those that have paid attention to McCain’s earlier comments are gonna try and square those two off.
There Karl, a little shift to reality for ya.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:53 amMaybe he’s helping to host the Big Oil reception. Surely KKKarl would have been welcome at the AT&T reception. Hanging out with his Blue Dog buds? Not one of them will do a citizen’s arrest on a fellow CorporaCrat. Karl is the pox on America’s house…
August 26th, 2008 at 9:53 amIs KKKarl questioning her patriotism based on a flag pin(or lack thereof)?
August 26th, 2008 at 9:54 amI detest Karl Rove. Mrs. Obama gave an awesome talk, and she is an awesome woman. We would be blessed to have her as our first lady.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:54 amI don’t think she did too well on saying I love America.
You , of course would know so much about that ; nothing says “patriot”/”love of country” more than outing a covert CIA officer for revenge purposes………….
August 26th, 2008 at 9:55 amWill some real Democratic delegate, not drinking the AT&T punch, square off with Karl? Please…
August 26th, 2008 at 9:55 amI guess KKKarl has never discovered the virtues of confounding people’s expectations once in a while.
Nope, he just kkkeeps sticking with the playbook, even though it’s gotten ratty and dog-eared over the years. The thing of it is, a lot of people think he wrote it. Negative. Richard Nixon is the original author.
The Republic Party: great at getting elected, abysmal at governing.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:56 amDear TP,
I don’t care what KKKarl has to say unless he is doing so under oath in a courtroom or congressional hearing room. We all understand that he is nothing more than a Republican propaganda tool. Even the zombies watching Fox “News” probably realize this. Fortunately, he is an extremely unlikeable tool who has only succeeded when working behind the scenes. No need to keep bringing his inane comments to our attention. Hume making a funny however was cute.
Hugs,
Paleolib
August 26th, 2008 at 9:56 amif anyone sees rove in public. arrest him and hold him until the authorities arrive. when they let him out. do it again… when the let him out after that… keep doing it.
feel free to use unnecessary force!
August 26th, 2008 at 9:57 amWill someone please tell the Democratic leadership that at some point, the gloves have to come off.
Yes, they’re flinging crap at Obama, and we can continue to take the high road, but at some point, the crap builds up and begins to drown the candidate, no matter how high a road that is taken.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:57 amWhy is “Fair and Balanced” Faux news allowed to broadcast there anyway?? If Rove says BS like that, why not put Faux in a toilet stall for the rest of the convention. Why is there not someone behind their broadcast every second with signs that call KKKarl a traitor or McCain=Bush. These guys make me SICK !!!
August 26th, 2008 at 9:59 amHow absurd is Rove to question Michelle’s patriotism? Rove is part and parcel of an illegitimate administration that stealS our citizens votes, promotes propoganda to lead us to an unnecessary war and illegally wiretaps our citizens.
NOW THESE ARE THE MOST UNPATRIOTIC THINGS IMAGINABLE! NOT AND APPENDAGE OF THE ADMINISTRATION – WOW?
August 26th, 2008 at 10:00 am“We know that thousands of Democratic delegates are looking forward to your arrival, and they will cheer you on and welcome you as they have us,” Hume said.
Could Shit Fumes be any more delusional ?
The only way Americans will be cheering for Rove is when he is lead away in handcuffs to pay for the mountain of crimes he and the Chimpy administration have committed………..
August 26th, 2008 at 10:01 amKarl Rove, the boil on arse of American politics. Somebody lance him…
August 26th, 2008 at 10:01 amraynman, You are so right. I want to see the fists fly, the boots kicking, the eyes gouging, etc..etc..etc… I hate the high road. the window lickers of the country dont care about FACTS, reason, logic, or honor. they just believe what they hear on the magic box. I say we lie, distort, fabricate just like the GOP does. take quotes so far out of context that their heads explode. We need to bring a BIGGER GUN to the gun fight instead of (dare i say it) spit balls.

______
I don’t know how it is in the other battleground states, but Obama’s running some pretty negative ads here in Virginia about McCain’s gaffes and voting record.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:03 amAnd yet, when I hear either Mrs. or Mr. Obama, I start trying to invent new words that have “genuine” as their root.
I again am impressed by Mrs. O’s genuineity.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:03 amFan of Man, KKKarl is coming to Sacramento for a speech and that is my plan. with my video camera ON. I threw up in my mouth a little when i had to buy a ticket.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:04 amI really do wish that someone would ask him why it is that when John McCain says something that comes out sounding not like what he means, he gets a free pass. But when Michele Obama does it, not so much. Republicons are such hypocrites.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:06 amA bit OT:
I would like to see some of the ads Karl produced for Bush’s campaign against McCain in 2000. I would like to see them over and over again on TV. Don’t you think it would be a good idea? And just add a bit at the end of them showing McCain’s love for Bush in 2008. Priceless.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:09 amTotally disregarding Michelle Obama’s repeated efforts throughout her speech to spell out “why she loves her country,” Karl Rove — an informal adviser to John McCain — went on Fox News last night and proclaimed that Obama didn’t show “adequate enough” love for her country…..
How exactly does one show “adequate enough” love for country , you effeminate loser ?
Lie unceasingly to the American public for 8 years , especially about the non-existent danger(s) a sovereign nation who had never provoked nor attacked us , presents to us ?
August 26th, 2008 at 10:09 amOh – for Christ’s sake KKKRove – why don’t you just go drown yourself. I am sick sick of these turds that I can’t stand it anymore. These sickos survive by keeping the country divided, and trying to get us to hate each other – what a f$#%ing mess
August 26th, 2008 at 10:11 amI am sure that RoverBoy (if he is still out of jail next week) will heap praise on McNumbNuts’ trophy wife after she delivers her “spousal speech” and the republican’t convention.
Certainly, Cindy McNumbNuts will be able to convincingly proclaim that she loves America. Where else but in the USA could a drug-addled bimbo be able to talk her convicted felon father to cut her siblings out of his will and business so that she could be wealthy by accident of birth and grow up to own her very own senator?
August 26th, 2008 at 10:11 amWhy is Karl Rove such an irritant? With all the slime he exudes how does he get under our skin so easily?
Rove and Fox News are stuck together like Velcro, only that audience will listen to him. There is nothing any of us can do to change the mind set of the Fox Faithful. Just give it up and celebrate your own sanity.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:12 amEven after all these years, I am still amazed at the extreme nature of the spin.
Rove could step out of a limo in Denver and be pummeled with hundreds of clumps of cow shit. After cleaning himself up, he appears on FuxNews and they all crow about how cow shit it fertilizer, makes things grow, therefore the Democratic crowd wants even more Roves in the world.
In the end, Rove will probably slip in the bathtub and break his neck. A fitting end to a filthy life.
PEACE

The Republic Party: great at getting elected, abysmal at governing.
___________________________
I agree Ralph, but here’s the thing — the Republics have absolutely no interest in governing. Their mission is to get elected so that they can raid the government treasury and divert the funds to their big-corporate buddies in the oil, electronics, communications, security, etc., industries.
So of course they’re abysmal at governing — that’s not why they want to get elected, and governing only gets in the way of their real goal — the biggest diversion of public funds to private corporate bank accounts in the history of the world. And that, my friends, is why we can’t have Grampy McSame elected, to continue this raiding of the Treasury. But of course, the sheeple in this country won’t hear of it…
August 26th, 2008 at 10:13 amIt’s what cowards do when they are afraid of someone else who is smarter, more qualified, more popular, etc. – they make fallacious ad hominem atacks. It’s because they know that they cannot beat those people on their own merits – they must cheat to beat them.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:14 amUh, MCM…? As much as I appreciate thevivid scene you paint regarding KKKarl’s ultimate date with the Law, I think ol’ Britt was being sarcastic.
At least, I hope he was. Dishonest AND delusional is no way for a “news” anchor to go through life…
August 26th, 2008 at 10:14 amWhat does that pukey pudgy pink pig know about love? He’s full of hate.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:14 amAh yes, Democrats still trying to prove they love America. Why do Democrats try and prove they love America? Who are they trying to prove it too? Well the Republicans, that’s who. Because Republicans said Democrats don’t love America, and Democrats are always trying to appease Republicans. It just shows how lost the Democratic Party really is that they have to send out the wife of their nominee to keep trying to prove she loves America. It’s just like Obama going to that stupid church gathering with Rick Warren and try and prove his Christianity.
Stop playing the Republicans game already!!! What Michelle Obama should have said is anybody who questions my or my husbands patriotism can come see me and I’ll knock that thought out of their stupid head so fast they’ll never find it again, and if that sounds like I’m angry you better believe it.
Democrats should make sure that every time they mention Karl Rove’s name they should make sure it’s attached with the words “draft dodger”. Same thing goes with Cheney. It’s simple. “Vice President Dick Cheney, a draft dodger, will be speaking at the GOP convention.” Fox news pundit and McCain advisor Karl Rove, a draft dodger, will be in Colorado for the Democratic National convention. Democrats need to say this kind of stuff repeatedly. Put the pressure on Republicans to defend themselves. Stop allowing Republicans to define Democrats. Start defining them at every opportunity.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:14 amKarl Rove, the Lee Atwater protoge`, the KKK, the Goebbels, the mafioso hitman for the repugnican party. Repugnant himself, revolting, and repulsive. STFU Karl – go back to the turd on which you blossomed. It suits you.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:15 amLee Atwater had a deathbed conversion – will you wait that long too? Or will you go to your death and hell in eternity unrepentant for the miserable, rotten, vile life you have led.
Agreed, Dogfather. Their strategy serves two purposes. One, as you pointed, they and their corporate cronies get rich on the fat of the land and, two, their mnatra of “government is not the answer” becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:17 amLike the Luther character says to Cates in 48 Hours, “Who gives a f*** what you think…”
August 26th, 2008 at 10:17 amSpeaking of patriotism KKKarl why does your party put itself before the country.Mrs Obama has more patriotism in her little finger than all of you re-pukes put together.Why don`t you reich Wingers ever talk about the issue`s, is it because you Reich winger`s know the only way to the W.H. is through swiftboating.Jaun Williams says Obama`s kids are “are to polite so they must have been beaten” what the hell kind of remark is that to say the Obama`s kids, some guy named Hyman said” he wasn`t about to pay for Biden`s anuerysims, I say he ought ask Darth Cheney for his money back on all of his heart conditions because they were preexisting before he took office.You Reich Wingers know you can`t win on the real issues`s because youv`e tank our economy on an illegal war and subsequent occupation so you will attack kids and health care, no wnoder real conservative have left the party, all you can do is hate while quoting scripture and be hypocriticle of the left and even your own issues from your side.You are not Americans when you have put your party first and the needs of America second.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:17 amNews flash: Rove is still a dick.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:18 amKKKarl, does one show one’s love of country by exposising the identity of a covert CIA agent and the front company she worked for while gathering information on the proliferation of nuclear weapons?
August 26th, 2008 at 10:19 amKR=POS.
Perhaps Democrats do genuinely love their country and seek to express that feeling once in a while, as anyone might seek to express the love they feel.
You’re actually suggesting that Democrats adjust to Republic smears (by refusing to express their love for country), rather than expressing what they truly feel.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:20 amMy focus on Karl Rove is single-minded: a burning desire to see him imprisoned for a long, long time.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:21 amIf Rove says it was no good it obviously was very good – even Fox News Jaun Williams was impressed.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:21 amKKKarl proves that what the world needs is retroactive abortions!
August 26th, 2008 at 10:25 amI see McCain was on the Tonight Show last night and surprise, surprise he brought out the old “I was a POW” card.
John McCain. A noun a verb and a “I was a POW”. What a loser.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:25 amWonder if the lovely Mr. Rove has finished writing the current Mrs. McCain’s speech on her own family’s background, on the first date with John, on their traditional family values . . .
. . .you know, the traditional family values of having an affair with a married man?
What, not yet? Better get the Blackberry out, Mr. Rove; time’s a wastin’.
(and on a side note, Mr. Rove, you might try to avoid inserting the word “Look” into every sentence you utter with such otherwise enviable wisdom.)
August 26th, 2008 at 10:26 amShorter Rovian Spin: Michelle did not detail the cure for cancer in her speech therefore it sucked.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:27 amDoes ANYBODY listen to Karl Rove anymore? He’s got SUCH a good reputation for telling the truth! That thing about “squaring things up”…give me a break!!!!!!!!!!! Does he REALLY WANT TO GO THERE???
August 26th, 2008 at 10:28 amI assume that Karl’s flag pin must have fallen off before his comments.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:29 amBilbo,Johnny Mcwars has the MSM protection society so he can gaffe all he wants, the problem with that is that it is all good ad reveue for the MSM and money rules, fairness is not an option with the MSM. Mrs. Obama had a wonerful speach that hit the nail on the head and these creeps say she was not patriotic enough, these reich Wingers wouldn`t know Patriotism if it hit them in the MOUTH.Mrs Obama has nothing to apologize for.
I heard on Steaphanie Miller that Cindy Mcwars is in Georgia checking up on things, maybe she`ll just scare the hell out of the Russians and they`ll go away…..what a hoot.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:30 amNothing says “I love America” like refusing to honor a subpoena issued by her constitutionally-required government.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:32 amHey Karl, STFU, nobody cares.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:32 amWhat could be more dishonorable than JUDGING another American’s patriotism? Karl Rove should go crawl under a rock.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:33 amIt is time to eliminate people like Rove. Yes, I mean eliminate them in the classic sense. Every measure ought to be taken to destroy his life. It should be done with the same fervor as the extreme religious right goes after abortion doctors. His home, office and every public appearance ought to be filled with protesters calling him out as the scum that he is.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:33 amMichelle doesn’t love the crumbling version of America you created, Rover. Draw the distinction – er, nevermind. Brainpower isn’t exactly created with a lifetime diet of KFC.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:36 amThat “POW” comment is REALLY wearing thin.Let him keep on saying it if he needs to. Maybe the people of this country are going to wake up and realize that that is not an explanation for everything that needs to be fixed. I’m so amused at the McCain supporters that say he has a solution to all our problems and that Obama needs to explain himself, that he hasn’t put forth any concrete solutions to the nations problems. REALLY? I’m thinking that this whole POW thing is becoming flat out laughable, and for him to use that reason at every turn is a slap in the face to this country and the people in uniform that serve this country well…politicize that military service of his? He’s a man that as lost his moral compass, if he even had much of one to begin with..his personal life isn’t so squeeky clean, and that’s just for starters.I’m going to call the Dem Party in AZ and go do some volunteering…
August 26th, 2008 at 10:37 amIn the Manichean world of the GOPbots everything is reduced to a simple equation of opposites and whoever defines the argument first wins the argument, regardless.
The ROve Machine ‘established’ both Michelle and Barack as “unpatriotic” and thus ‘won’ the argument.
Blame Canad wrties: Fox news pundit and McCain advisor Karl Rove, a draft dodger, will be in Colorado for the Democratic National convention. Democrats need to say this kind of stuff repeatedly
I agree with that approach, and that counter argument is actually factual, not interpretive, and thus stronger. This is what the Dem ’surrogates’ should be doing every time they get on the air.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:37 amObama’s speech was excellent. Unbelievably, CNN is asking “but did she really mean it?” and are bringing on a body language “expert” to anayze her.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:38 amDon’t you think it’s ironic that the people that spew this venom about not being patriotic enough are the very ones that are totally ruining this country?
August 26th, 2008 at 10:39 amHey KKKarl:
Who sat around on their asses plotting a tin-horn dictator’s overthrow while warnings of pending Al-Qaeda attacks on American soil were brushed aside?
Who lied America into a needless war that’s killed thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of civilians?
Who deliberately outed a valuable CIA agent as political playback against her husband who wrote an article exposing the Bush administrations lies about the Iraq threat?
Who allowed the big energy interests to set up shop in the White House and dictate this country’s myopic energy policies?
Who’s unqualified lackeys were allowed to run rampant and politicize the nation’s Justice apparatus solely for political and ideological gain?
And especially for you KKKarl — who illegally manipulated the levers of justice in order to put an opposition party political opponent (Don Siegelman) in prison?
Yeah KKKarl — tell me again who’s the Un-American one around here. You worthless, lying sack of sh*t.
Just saying . . .
August 26th, 2008 at 10:40 amA number of former democratic presidents — I have Roosevelt and Truman in mind — are itching to bust out of their coffins and choke these revisionists to death.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:40 amDear Mr. Rove,
There is an enormous difference between conscious patriotism and blind nationalism. I’m sure you’re aware of this and you are selling product #2. I will not buy it, and true patriots take offense at blind nationalism.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:41 amMcWars….Constitution, BE DAMNED! Doesn’t apply to them:)
August 26th, 2008 at 10:43 amWell, of course, DUH! That is because we all know that showing TRUE patriotism and love of America is by lying to evangelicals, creating phony wedge issues and outing CIA agents! Geez, I wish I was Karl Rove and live in a self-perpetuating fantasy world, too …
August 26th, 2008 at 10:45 amRove Blasts Michelle Obama’s Patriotism: ‘I Don’t Think She Did Well On Saying I Love America’
– - Karl’s right. Nothing says “I love America” as musch as outing a covert CIA agent.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:46 amHe should ask Rove about the Fox News interview with John McCain on March 13, 2008, in which McCain said, “I didn’t really love America until I was deprived of her company.”
We can interpret someone’s words any way we choose but the Rethugs are always given the benefit of the doubt. Why is that I wonder?
August 26th, 2008 at 10:47 amRove should be sitting in the Jail Cell in the Basement

– - Yeah, cuz ALL political conventions NEVER have the candidate’s kids on stage. Myopic, hypocritical boob.
Maybe McCain will not only feature his adopted daughter, but treat us to Ty Pennington giving an Extreme Makeover to his Hanoi Hilton digs.

This is NOT the religious Darryl. Language is all wrong, and not one hysterical reference to Jesus…
August 26th, 2008 at 10:50 amRepublicans feel high n’ mighty as arbiters for “who can break the mold.” Since the black family is threatning the rich, republican white male tradition, they feel at ease more than ever in posing an “impress us in order to beat us” challenge, which is conceptually impossible to overcome. The goal posts will always be moved.
If the republicans lay out the agenda for the opposition to win, they’re really setting us up to lose.
The republicans are the opponents. They in the gutter in the polls. They are the American enemy, and love America through their words but despise her through their actions.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:54 amTraitor Rove – whatever he says about someone else is really the truth about him. Rove has a lot of nerve to say something like this especially considering that he jeopardized the safety of this nation by exposing a covert CIA agent. Who’s disloyal to this nation? Karl Rove is.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:00 amA matter of minor semantics but, the truth of god website exclaims “welcome everyone”. It doesn’t say “welcome everyone, with the exception of those that don’t fit our definition of religious conformity”
August 26th, 2008 at 11:02 amI could be wrong, I probably am.

August 26th, 2008 at 11:12 amAre all trolls so blind to thier party`s own hyposcrisy?You trolls are damn blinded by your convictions you don`t even know what patriotism is and never will.The Reich Wing has put it`s part first over the needs of it`s country since the Bushco Regime took office, hell Daryll they even fooled all of you religiuos freaks into thinking he was going to get roe v wade overturned, that`s how blinded by Nationalistic pride you morons were and still are, patheic just simply pathetic.Patriotism to your country comes before your Party and it`s Nationalism.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:15 amOn the one hand, “It’s called politicking.” and on the other, “SHE USED HER CHILDREN FOR POLITICAL GAIN!”
August 26th, 2008 at 11:15 amAbsolutely amazing. You really have no critical faculties whatsoever, do you?
I don’t think she did too well on saying I love America. That wasn’t adequate enough because, look, people are gonna hear that, and then those that have paid attention to her earlier comments are gonna try and square those two off.
Rove knows nothing of real patriotism, the desire to make your country the best it can be. Patriotism to Rove is nothing more than blind loyalty to the leader of the herd.

August 26th, 2008 at 11:16 amA noun, a verb and “I was a p.o.w. dammit”!

No, it’s called “republicans detroying America.”
August 26th, 2008 at 11:20 amThe religious fanatic says: This was scripted.
LOL. The Republicans, and Fox News, have been scripted since Karl arrived at Bush’s campaign in 2000 (or 1999 whatever). So you remember “Mission Accomplished”? Do you remember “Town Hall Meetings” where not a Democrat was allowed in? Do you remember the Generals being told what to say about the situation in Iraq?
You have no argument here. Go back to your bible and read it backwards – I’m sure you’ll find something devilish to be worried about.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:20 amRight,….coming from a smirking pig who hates America, is a treasonous slab of pork.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:23 amDarryl doesn’t understand the meaning of the term “officially”, obviously.
In any case, this is from the doosh-bag who in February said it was time to start calling him “President-elect Huckabee”.
So D-bag doesn’t have the greatest track record on political predictions, folks.

August 26th, 2008 at 11:25 amDaryll: McCain did a good job on the Leno Show, yesterday night.

Home schooled religious freaks – obviously.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:27 amAs we all know, Rove’s nickname is “Turdblossom.” In honor of that, let’s decide which type of turd he is. I vote for either Type 1 or Type 2.

August 26th, 2008 at 11:30 amCan Ya HATE this fat piece of crap ANYMORE????
August 26th, 2008 at 11:30 amRove’s military record (or lack thereof) speaks volumes about his patriotism.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:34 amOh sure Rove maggott, you sure love Anerica, teaming up with the idiot DeceiverInChief, the greatest enemy of american prosperity, sure! Ignoring court citations, you should be in jail pudgy pillsbury dough boy! Geek!
August 26th, 2008 at 11:37 amI’m ecstatic to see Karl Rove in Denver! Please train the cameras on him at all times. This ought to be hilarious.
If he had any brains he would not make that trip out of his own safety and security. An angry electorate wants to claw his eyes out.
August 26th, 2008 at 11:38 amThis is typical Goebbels’ Gobble.
Patriotism should be a respect and desire to protect the freedoms and rights that we have endeavored to make our goals in this nation, since the Declaration of Independence.
Rove wants “love of America” not “Love of Equality and Freedoms.”
If the Repocons can succeed in redefining what “America” is, then our loyalty is to the Repocons not to the historical ideals of the, once respected, United States of America.
The military, police and many citizens have been propagandized to believe that their loyalty is to the Duhyba, and the Repocons for which he stands, rather than to the Constitution of the United States, which defines what this nation, ideally, is.
Every voice than can speak to the public should be calling out Rove et al for what they are, the NeoNazis Party of America.
These are the same people who, in Nixon’s first term, wanted to amend the Constitution so that Nixon could be elected President for life. No I am not making that up, I heard interviews with prominent Republican spokes persons, still active in DC, stating that intent.
These are the same people who in Bush’s first term were talking about a 1000 year Reich of Repocon control of the White House and both houses of Congress.
These are the same people who now control most of the so called Main Stream Media.
So everyone else who has access to the public’s ear must call out their lies and point out their Goebbels’ Games of mind control. And say as often as necessary that Neocon and NeoNazi are synonymous.

R E M E M B E R:
Absconding Justice is a crime.
And having one’s lawyer come to the House Judiciary Committee and LIE for you is no recourse. WHAT scheduled vacation. The Yalta Summit was NOT a vacation make.
Still wanted to appear before the House Judiciary Committee…
… Still missing.

August 26th, 2008 at 12:00 pmMarnie, there’s far more recent activity on amending the Constitution to repeal the 22nd Amendment, which limits the Presidency to a two-year term. The 2005 bill was introduced by one Republican and three Democrats, including Steny Hoyer!

August 26th, 2008 at 12:00 pmKarl Rove is the poster boy for what is wrong with American politics. He committed an act of treason by outing a CIA agent and today he is a national commentator and “unoffical” advisor to Johnny McPow. Rove is lucky he wasn’t put over a trap door with a noose around his neck. His time will come and his fall will be long and hard. Few tears will be shed.
August 26th, 2008 at 12:06 pmWhy isn’t Karl Rove in jail awaiting trial for outing a CIA agent? Or for the political prosecution of a Governor of Alabama? Or for gaming our elections? Or politicizing the DoJ and turning it into the Republican’s private legal weapon?
This white color criminal has no standing for questioning anyone’s patriotism, especially Michelle Obama’s. He’s done more to destroy this country than anyone else I can think of.

______
For that matter, who the hell watches The Leno Show?
August 26th, 2008 at 12:08 pmThere is one thing that is undeniably true. Karl Rove does not love his country enough. Not by a long shot.
August 26th, 2008 at 12:12 pmCould someone please ask Turd Blossom and the entire garbage Chimpy administration what it is exactly that makes them believe they are in any way qualified to comment upon , discuss or judge who is or isn’t a patriot or who it is that loves America ?
August 26th, 2008 at 12:13 pmThat doughy little traitor should drop dead.
August 26th, 2008 at 12:13 pmI thinks its important to keep Rove in the limelight. Out of sight . . . out of mind . . . and that SOB needs to be arrested and put on trial. For any Rove-haters out there, and there are plenty of us. If he comes to your town, go to where his is and LOUDLY call for his arrest!!!
August 26th, 2008 at 12:20 pmWell, just wait and see, since Michelle did such an excellent job on her speech last night, Cindy McCain is going to show her…
….by going Topless while stoned on meds, that should impress the knuckle-draggers.
August 26th, 2008 at 12:28 pmJohn McCain’s campaign is reviving the most famous political commercial of the Democratic primary cycle, launching a new 30-second spot Tuesday that uses footage from Hillary Clinton’s original ad and declares “Hillary’s
right.”
LINK
The ad, set to run in key battleground states and specifically in Denver this week, also goes a step further than the New York senator’s original ad, explicitly detailing the national security threats America faces.
“Uncertainty. Dangerous aggression. Rogue nations. Radicalism,” the ad’s narrator states as images of tanks and launching missiles flash on screen.
The ad also includes Clinton’s attack on Barack Obama in March 2008 in which she declared “I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And, Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002.”
She was NEVER interested in party “unity”.
She’s a selfish, political whore who’d just as soon switch parties if it was in her best interests.
I hate that b*tch.
August 26th, 2008 at 12:58 pmWhere’s your flag lapel pin, Karl, or are you just another one of those unpatriotic SOBs you like to rant about?
August 26th, 2008 at 1:02 pmIf Michelle had spent an hour saying over and over that she loved the country, and would die for it, the pig phuckers at faux noise would STILL have said she didn’t didn’t love America enough.
For the life of me, I cannot understand WHY rove is given a network from which he can bloviate!?! Besides the obvious partisan that he is, because of his treasonous actions in the Valarie Plame case, he should be trading cigarettes for his life in a Federal Prison somewhere without cameras.
The mere fact rove is on faux, is proof to the contrary of their claim of “Fair and Balanced.” They are little more than propaganda for the repuglican party.
August 26th, 2008 at 1:03 pmI don’t think that people who intentionally out CIA agents — that are working to protect this country by trying to prevent weapons proliferation — for partisan political purposes should be allowed on TV to talk about thers not “loving” their country enough…..
Karl Rove put party and power before country, and in many countries would have been tried as a traitor and hanged.
Cheers,
August 26th, 2008 at 1:06 pmIt is looking more and more like the Repugs are running scared and know that the inevitable is about to happen. When the next 4 years tears open the puss-filled sack that is the BushCo regime, the stench will be smelled around the world. And the rover will be one of the stinkiest.
August 26th, 2008 at 1:20 pmWhy isn’t KKKarl in prison, trading cigarettes for his life?
For that matter, why is he still being allowed to breathe?
August 26th, 2008 at 1:20 pmRove would not survive on any other network but Fox. He would be chewed up and spit out without the cover of the Fox news stooges. Every once and a while Colmes gets a shot in on Rove but that’s few and far between unfortunately. Michelle’s speech was fantastic and Rove’s response was the usual negetive result. I mean why even ask him about any Democrat event. He’s just preaching to the choir of Fox viewers giving them what they want to hear no matter what.
August 26th, 2008 at 1:29 pmObviously the oxygen has been cut off to Karl’s brain. Why is he getting air time, trying to still another election?
August 26th, 2008 at 1:38 pmArrest the bastard already!
August 26th, 2008 at 1:43 pmThat is it. I can’t stand seeing this guy who should be in jail being paid for commentary. Could the link between Fox and the propaganda of the Bush administration be shown to be any stronger. Tell your friends. Tell them to find out what products are marketed on Fox and never to buy those products again until Rove and his group are in jail and we get a public apology for putting out propaganda, which is illegal by the way.
August 26th, 2008 at 1:48 pmGod forgive me for what I am about to say, but to think that this criminal, lowlife, monster still is walking around free after all of the lives and families he has destroyed by his duplicity, scheming, and cowardice–that he draws breath makes me sick.
I don’t have any answers but when I think that this monster has a column with Newsweek, writes a weekly oped in the Wall Street Journal and has a speaking gig with Faux News….I just don’t get it.
There is an old Irish adage: Every dog has his day, and every cat her night, and by God, this guy is going to get it and get it badly but I just don’t know when. I hope I live long enough to see him suffer as so many others have.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:09 pmMichelle Obama could have walked on stage wearing a flag lapel pin and used every wingnut frame and Rove would have found fault with her. He is a partisan hack in addition to being a TRAITOR and reflects the network he appears on.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:24 pmAnd while he blasts Michelle Obama’s patriotism, I see no lapel flag pin no where on Tubby McTreason Rove.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:45 pmThis is what right-wing Republicans do!
August 26th, 2008 at 3:00 pmSay the opposite of what happened. Karl Rove was the President’s chief political adviser. Now those who didn’t hear the speech can claim that someone of notoriety has asserted she didn’t show enough patriotism. As a tactic for the under-informed it is very effective.
She was gorgeous, he’s disgusting.
Period.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:28 pmAre you a democrat? test
Would a Democrat vote for a man who voted against raising the minimum wage in, 1989, 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2006?
Would a Democrat vote to kill our bravest young people for 100 years looking for weapons of mass destruction that do not exist?
Would a Democrat vote for a man who does not know that 9-11 was caused by Osama Bin Laden not Sedam Hussein?
Would a Democrat vote the man who does not know if the Sunnis or Sheits are our enemies?
Would a Democrat vote for the man who voted against increasing
benefits for the military that he sends in harm’s way?
Would a Democrat vote to keep putting our government on the China, Saudi Arabia credit card?
Would a Democrat vote for tax cuts only for the wealthy?
Would a Democrat vote for opposition to SCHIP?
Would a Democrat vote for tax credits for health care instead of a
nation health care system?
Would a Democrat vote to overturn Roe v. Wade?
Would a Democrat vote for a right-wing Supreme Court?
Would a Democrat vote for a third Bush term?
Would a Democrat vote for a man who says the economic downturn is psychological?
Would a Democrat vote for a man who says you are better off under George Bush?
Would a Democrat vote for a man who says irresponsible, undeserving homeowners are losing their homes? But is fortunate to own 8 homes!
August 26th, 2008 at 3:49 pmThis from the bona fide traitor!? Yes… outing a covert agent is TREASON. How “Patriotic” is that?
I’ve had enough of these people and the stupidity of people who actually believe them… there has to be a willingness to believe what one of these idiots says versus what your own eyes and ears observe.
I am sad to say that I believe that that willingness to believe in this crap stems from deep-seated, irrational, purely emotional prejudices based on race, gender or sexual orientation. They will always hate Democrats and Liberals because we accept everyone – even the incredibly stupid!
I have never been prouder of my presidential candidate than I was last night. Barack Obama and his family have done absolutely nothing but validate my choice of them. This is the first election in which I have been able to vote (I’m 48) that I wasn’t settling for the lesser of two evils. Our candidate is CLEARLY superior based upon his character, his background, and his commitment to US!
August 26th, 2008 at 4:25 pmWell, well, I’m glad it was KKKarl himself that reopened the ‘Michelle O8ama doesn’t love America’ can of worms again because that is exactly what the O8ama campaign wanted.
People, except the extreme hard line self-servatives, are tired of this rhetoric. If the McCan’t campaign pushes this button too hard it will blow up in their faces.
KKKarl was thrown a beautiful curve, he swung at it, and left him self all wrapped up in his own spin.
Nice job team O8ama!!
August 26th, 2008 at 6:01 pmWith any luck, we’ll be inviting Karl back to explain his crimes when we take back the WH and DoJ. If I’m Leahy and Conyers, I’d tell him….confess now or be prepared for the retribution of the American people in 2009.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:22 pmHey Karl, EVERYBODY HATES YOU!
Suck on that for a while.
August 27th, 2008 at 2:13 amKarl Rove? Karl Rove?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
August 27th, 2008 at 2:16 amHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
