Rove bashes ‘hate-filled, obscenity-clogged’ blogs.

In an interview with Newsbusters, former Bush adviser Karl Rove claimed that the conservative blogosphere “has much better quality and quantity” than the progressive blogosphere. Calling left-leaning blogs “unpersuasive,” Rove said “they are, most of them are hate-filled, obscenity-clogged rants of anger and hatred.” Rove has made similar netroots bashing comments before, claiming in a speech last year that bloggers are “nutty,” “vitriolic,” and “kooks.”
