What Does Rove Imply About The Founders?
I think he is implying that the founders were not of the elite!
Well, that's a bunch of malarkey!
"..."We believe in the wisdom of the founders even more than the wisdom of a liberal senator from the south side of Chicago," Rove said."
-
Wisdom of the Founders
Yeah, he believes so much in their wisdom that he's spent 8 years trying to destroy the Constitution! Keep talking, asshole.
-
hmm. GOP values
GOP values: lie. Cheat. steal. wash, rinse, repeat!
Beats hell out of Malkin's doggerel, at any rate.
-
A fallen star.
Poor Rove. It would be almost kinda sad, if he weren't responsible for so much death and destruction.
-
Makes sense
With Huckabee taling about taking a gun to Obama it does not surprise me that Karl Rove is praising the benefits of unrestricted gun ownership.
I can just imagine his thinking: "Serving life for war crimes, or goading some crazed follower to shoot Obama?" Perhaps this is the basis for his hope for the next James Earl Ray to save him from the dock.
BTW: Camille Paglia, this is how you do it without the pretentious words and the Maureen Dowd like misogyny.

Dear God, Please Let It Happen.
Please, please, please let Karl Rove appear as much as possible in public in the coming months, making pronouncements, slamming Democrats, heck, even just standing there silently waxing his bald spot. More Karl! More more more! Let's all write letters to Fox News demanding that they keep images of Rove on the air 24/7 until November!
If there's anything better to remind the American people of what an ugly, disgusting, utter disaster the Bush administration has been, I don't know what it is. I can't think of a better public symbol for everything John McCain ought to be running from with all his might than Karl Rove. Obama ought to be sending paychecks to the guy, pleading with Rove to appear on everything from "Meet the Press" to "Dancing with the Stars" to children's birthday parties and bar mitzvahs. I never thought I'd say this, but right now the more Rove, the better.

Ridiculous
How is it that Fox can keep him on as an "analyst" of the campaign to provide insight into strategy, etc, when he can attend NRA meetings and invoke the "we" term in conjunction with economically deprived people?
-
ya know...
I was wondering when the third G would drop...we already had the God and teh Gays, and right on schedule here comes the Guns!
I kinda find solace in the fact that the Republicans are so predictable...
incidentally, Rove is just plain wrong on this one (as usual), HuffPo had a link up a few days ago to what Obama said before the cling comment - and he made a pretty clear distinction between rural gun ownership and urban...but then again ol' Turdblossom never let anything like the truth get in the way.
-
DNC will paint Rove as a criminal early on
The DNC needs to begin linking Rove to all the lowlife escapades and scandals he's been involved in, early, quickly and hard.
The firing of US attorneys for one. The sladering of a great war hero for another (Johnny Mc).
His voice needs to be made irrelevant asap, if it's not already. If W is at 25%, Rove's gotta be down there in Cheney territory.

Roving Reporter
Rove urged voters to "do all you can to shape the outcome of this election to stand for our values and against those who would belittle them."
Does that include voter suppression and voter fraud? What exactly are the values he's extolling, here? It's sad and scary that Rove's Republican values are anti-democratic values. The "win at all costs" slash-and-burn politicking of Rove's GOP is entirely revealing, and simply puts them way, way outside the mainstream.

Not quite anti-gun
I can't find a link to it, but didn't Obama, the same day he made the bitter speech, tell a different crowd how he respected the place of guns in our culture, that his problem isn't with hunting, or a son receiving a gun from his father as a rite of passage into manhood, going on that first hunt, etc. -- that his problem with guns is their possession and use in urban environments? I'm sure I saw that and thought it would go a long way towards, if not endearing him to stone gun-nuts, at least offer some push-back to anyone saying he's a stone anti-gun-nut.
-
nothing new here
The NRA is still a Republican bastion. Rove is still a douchebag. Obama is still going to have to beat them, given that he gets past Clinton cleanly at the convention.
As far as I can tell there is nothing new to see here. Move along.
-
He got one thing right....
He is a cling-on. And just like those, he's hard to get rid of but just mildly annoying. :)
-
Preaching to the choir
Rove will say anything to stir "The Base". But when you consider that, thanks to him, "The Base" is some of the guys in the NRA and virtually nobody else -- so what?
-
Belittling Our Values
Karl Rove only ever had one value: permanent Republican control of the United States Government. Thanks in large part to his actions, it will be getting littler all the time.

The Evil Genius Speaks
Never, ever underestimate Karl Rove.

Karl Rove is a Criminal..
Karl Rove is a criminal who ran voter fraud on a grand scale right out of the White House with the President's approval direct most likely, or tactic otherwise and is now about to be declared in contempt of Congress..so who cares what he thinks or says..?
This NRA convention is just showing what idiots the NRA membership and those who go grovel before them are..
Liberals should be the ones buying guns then you'd see how fast they changed the gun laws..!
-
Punishment
That remark about the "Founders" merits cutting his nut sack off with a rusty lid from a tin can.
-
Turdblossom Speaks
Karl Rove is one of the few people existent who actually DESERVES such a nickname. The idea of Fox plastering their airways with him clear to November should get a couple hundred million sick and tired of him.
Obama must be doing something right; he's upsetting loathesome people.
-
The left-wing attacks on Karl Rove just keep coming.
You all have been attacking the Rove for two general elections and you lost both.
Rove is right to call attention to Obama's Hyde Park political roots. Chicago has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. Any voters who are concerned about their gun rights ought to be very concerned about the prospect, however remote and bizarre, of an Obama presidency.
More generally, Rove is right to lead the attack on Obama's alleged credentials as anything other than one of the most docttrinaire liberals on the national scene.
