"TOKYO ROVE" STRIKES AGAIN

TOKYO ROVE” STRIKES AGAIN
© 2011 by Anthony James

Sour Grapes Karl Just Can’t Help Himself.

As former president Ronald Reagan would say, “There you go again, Karl.”

On Wednesday evening on Greta Van Susteren’s top-rated FOX TV news and talk show, “On The Record,” former Bush political adviser and the man euphemistically referred to as “The Architect” for his alleged contributions to George W. Bush’s winning campaign strategies in 2000 and 2004, Karl Rove just inexplicably and repeatedly soiled himself in front of the American public again and again.

Greta had asked him why he felt it was that the slightest mention of Gov. Sarah Palin set the parallel worlds of political punditry and media mouthpieces into an instant tailspin. In typical nonresponsive politico-speak, Rove completely avoided the question and instead dove into a gratuitous and revealing set of disingenuous canards with the obvious goal of again besmirching the good name of Gov. Sarah Palin.

First, Rove repeatedly referred to the SarahPAC response to media speculation (including my own) that Sarah would use the upcoming September 3rd Tea Party gathering in Iowa as the launchpad for officially announcing her presidential intentions in 2012 directly implying that the response came from Gov. Palin herself, and not from the political action committee which frequently speaks in justifiable defense of her without her explicit awareness, knowledge or approval.

Having erected this disingenuous strawman at which to throw his inane barbs and arrows, Rove went on to state, “If she doesn’t want people speculating about whether or not she’s running, there’s a very simple remedy. She can just come right out and say I’m not “running.”’ Here, again, Rove’s Freudian slip is exposed as he jumped in one sentence from misrepresenting what it was that SarahPAC actually objected to to laying bare his most fervent personal wish. What Sarah pack had objected to was not the media speculating about whether Sarah would run, but that she intended to announce that decision in Iowa two Saturdays from now. Karl’s deceit here was subtle enough to go unnoticed by the casual observer, which I am sure was his despicably calculated intention, but it was all-important nonetheless. His most fervent wish is quite obviously that Sarah would not run for president in 2012.

Having already committed what would be several cardinal sins for any nationally televised political pundit, which is of course blatantly and openly lying in an attempt to deceive the viewing public, Rove then threw caution to the wind and went nuclear with this patently absurd diatribe: “If Palin’s gonna be this thin skinned about something so simple as the media speculating on her candidacy, how can she possibly hope to withstand the pressure of the office of president?” I’m paraphrasing here, but that is distinctly the gist of his most absurd outburst to date.

Thin-skinned? Sarah Palin thin-skinned? Never in the centuries long history of American political discourse has any one political figure been subjected to such vulgar, untruthful, vituperous excoriation as has Sarah Palen on a nonstop weekly basis for the last three years running. She has taken every disgustingly vitriolic and unfair assault upon her person, her family, and even her baby born with Down’s Syndrome, and yet there she stands; strong, smiling, as bright and shining as a new penny. Undefatigable and ineluctable. Look it up.

For this “yesterday’s-news” political hack to call Sarah Palin thin-skinned accomplishes only one purpose, notwithstanding its accomplishment has been long overdue. His entire screed, manufactured out of whole cloth in non-response to a question that was about something completely different was undeniably way out of line, off base, and patently deceitful. But this last uncalled for jab that Sarah Palin establishes only one thing very clearly:

Karl Rove cannot be trusted. He is a deceitful dinosaur who has long outlived his usefulness to the political process, and who has now proven unequivocally that his agenda, however vile, will always trump the far more pressing need for the truth.

The advent of The Tea Party and their improbable and historic victory last November in sweeping over over 70 Republicans into what were previously Democrat-held seats in the House of Representatives proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that the old-school, old guard, old-fashioned political “ experts”like Karl Rove are as tone deaf about, and useless to, the current political process as would be a “Town Crier.” That this would engender in Rove a deep and bitter resentment is perhaps expected, but that it would cause him to so blatantly mislead the American viewing public on a top-rated national news and talk show is a sure sign that his time, and his usefulness, has come and gone.

The American public is completely disgusted with the political process, the Beltway denizens who take them for granted and call them “terrorists” for merely disagreeing, and for trying to lay at the doorstep of the nation’s voters the horrific financial plight that we are in in a despicable attempt to pretend that this blood is on our hands and not theirs, all are emphatic reasons why we need more honesty and candid political discourse, and much less of the vile, deceitful projectile excreta we heard from Karl Rove this evening.

It is precisely this reason, among many others, why Sarah Palin is such a sought after and cherished breath of fresh air in an atmosphere made cloyingly nauseating by the stench of the liars and prostitutes in D.C. who feign a far nobler ambition in the name of American politics.

Even as the sun sets on Karl Rove and his ilk, it rises on Gov. Palin and the promise of the new day that she ushers in with her to an American public absolutely starved for it.

As former President Ronald Reagan also used to say, ”It’s morning in America.”

I’ve reading the book;
Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon by Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner

There are people that should be in jail. If we don’t elect Sarah Palin, all the corruption inside the beltway will go on unabated. There isn’t any other single candidate with the balls to clean out the Washington DC cesspool. This election is far more than merely defeating Obama. I wish the hell others would realize that fact.

The Architect has now become The Derelect. His usefulness is gone, he costs more political capital to retain than to retire, and future books about his glory days should be written in past-tense.

Both Rove and Dana Perino appear to be Bushbots, eager to undercut the prospects of any Republican presidential prospect who might be able to defeat Obama and thus prevent Jeb from becoming Prexy in 2016.

As if there will be any nation left in the rubble by then.

I am for Perry. And the further Rove stays away from him, or any other conservative for that matter, is just fine. He really isn't very good.

Somewhere, in a book, Rove is talking to about their strategy, and the coming campaign. Both he and Rove decide against 'going conservative,' and instead decide to go with W's personality. I know I felt betrayed. I'm sure others did as well. That was all I needed to know about Rove. He's a RINO.

I think Rove and the elites want her in. The more the votes are split, the better Mitt's chances. They only care about Mitt! Sarah Palin wouldn't pull 10 votes from Mitt. She would pull votes from Bachmann, Cain and Perry.

The United States is a successful representative republic and capitalist society and its money belongs to the people. Those authorized by the people should remember that they are working for the people.

Barack Obama has socialist values that have failed everywhere they have been tried. Taxes, outrageous spending, government growth and political perks should be cut.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s convention and resignation speeches speak for themselves. Palin is interested in history and she is determined to make it.

The Tea Party was formed to defend our great country against Mr. Obama and his party’s anti-American socialist policies.

We have been in a global terrorist Islamic jihad for 32 years and it will continue until we, the people, decide that enough is enough.

This is the message we need to disseminate to the terrorists and the world. This is about our freedom and the freedom of our children.

The explanation is simple: Rove, Perino, and Krauthammer are neocons more in line with Romney and Huntsman than Palin or Bachmann. Heck, even Perry is too conservative for them. They aren’t the only ones at FOX like that, either. People like to make a lot of hay about FOX being a right-wing news channel, but that noise largely comes from raging liberals who think anyone to the right of Obama is indistinguishable.

BINGO! And that's why they will use anything to keep her from it. They know it because that's her reputation and Perry, Mitt, Bachmann, Cain know it. I could say alot more but too many clueless w/their chant and they couldn't comprehend it. I can tell by your post, you 'got it'. So much for the 'voice' of conservatism as their actions don't live up to it.

only care about Mitt!

They ONLY care about their own butts and their butt is on the line with a SARAH win. Not with a Bachmann win, a Cain win or a Perry win and, certainly, not a Mitt win.
