(Sorry all. Meant to post this last night but had some technical difficulties.)
Karl Rove in San Francisco? Even he seemed a bit...awed? Bewildered? Bemused? Nonetheless, Bush's Brain was the rock star attraction at a dinner Thursday night at The Ritz-Carlton to kick off the debut of the Heritage Foundation's new San Francisco Bay branch.
(For the past couple of years, the premier conservative thinktank has been establishing outposts around the country to stoke the grassroots brush fires all year-round. And anybody who lives in the Bay Area knows that there's a lot of closeted conservatives here. Why do you think KSFO has a decent audience.)
"Fellow counter-revolutionaries!" Rove bellowed to open his remarks after receiving a standing ovation from the 500 folks who packed the ballroom. "Revolutionaries! We meet behind enemy lines. And we will prevail!"
"It must not be easy to be a easy to be a conservative in San Francisco," Bush's Brain said. "You must be people of character."
And Rove must have thought it must not have been safe to be a conservative speaking in San Francisco. He was flanked by security as he spoke, and stout-looking fellas guarded every entrance. Dude was blanketed like a head of state. Note to Code Pink: You're losing your touch. Where were you?
For an hour or so, Rove held court over some sort of bizarro San Francisco.

Has Rove ever actually said he was a conservative?
Wondering where their retirement went in the past 8 months?
Yeah, I’d probably use that if I shook hands with him.
You’d shake his hand?
Yeah, it might get 99.99%
But it’s always that .01% that’ll get ya...
Cool.
Rove is a loser. Instead of building a pernament majority
he built a rhino minority .... And Bush says he redined the party. Barf! He destroyed the party is what he did.
Will you be voting R in 2020? Or allowing the Ds to win again? Thanks for giving us Obama,
McCain or Julie-Annie would have been just as bad, except they would have tried to bullshiite us with some convoluted argument what they were doing (or not doing) was based on some sort esoteric conservative ideal.
You’re as nutty as always.
I have big nuts...
Thanks for Obummer. I hope you’re enjoying him. You gave him to us.
No, the limp squishy RINOs gave you Obama bin Biden.
It sort of works like the Batman movie... where Batman says "I'm not going to kill you, but I don't have to save you" and the train crashes killing the villian...
Behind enemy lines? Rove should have felt right at home. California is full of illegals, Bush and Rove worked harder and longer for illegals than any other single domestic issue.
Obama will become one of our greatest presidents for what he will do to the conservative movement. His actions have gotten some off their lazy butts to actually take a stand instead of just complainiing.
If only more would get off the couch and out of the house we could really make a difference.
Obama is showing Americans just what socialism means.
Except we will have government healthcare and cap and tax and worse by the time he leaves office. You my way or the highway voters are responsible.
Don’t blame me I voted for Palin. But it is the one’s that stayed home that sent this monster to the WH. Now we can whine or make lemon aid.
But the fact of the matter is is that if Mccain had won most of what Obama is doing McCain would also be doing. It’s just we couldn’t stop him because he is a republican.
I think this only ends badly, blood in the streets kind of bad. But people need to decide liberty of slavery.
As Thomas Jefferson once said: “A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to preserve or obtain their liberty DESERVES the tyrants that rule them.”
So, to those who still sit and do nothing to stop this maddness I say, you deserve exactly what you are getting, TYRANNY.
“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” - Thomas Jefferson
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots.” - Thomas Jefferson
“Those who beat the guns into plows will plow for those who don’t.” Thomas Jefferson
The nutters and irreconcilables on the right aren't that much different from those on the left. The only thing that differs much is their demagogues. As we're seeing here, though, they often share their demons.
"The Bohemian Grove, that I attend from time to time—the Easterners and the others come there—but it is the most faggy goddamn thing you could ever imagine, that San Francisco crowd that goes in there; it's just terrible! I mean I won't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco."
I can see that. The interesting thing is, as he pointed out, he was only exposed to Easterners on these jaunts.
