fter smearing movement conservative icon Brent Bozell as a "hater" who has a "sordid history of hating Karl Rove," Jonathan Collegio of American Crossroads mocked a group of prominent conservatives who wrote a letter to Crossroads GPS President Steven Law demanding Collegio be fired.
“I’ve been trying to get my friends to sign it, because it’ll make for a funnier story once I get it framed,” Collegio said, in response to the letter to the Washington Examiner. “It would be flattering, if it weren’t so absurd.”
In an interview with Breitbart News editor Larry O'Connor on WMAL's "Mornings on the Mall" radio show in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Collegio said, "Bozell is a hater and he also has a long sordid history hating Karl Rove. He has weird personal axes to grind." Collegio was on the show to talk about the group's new super PAC, which many believe has declared war on the Tea Party.
He subsequently apologized for his remarks, but that apology was not enough for some of the conservative movement's most prominent leaders. Collegio also seemed to be taking a swipe at Mark Levin when he criticized conservatives who supported failed Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell in 2010. Collegio said those were the types of candidates his new organization is trying to prevent from winning the GOP nomination.
“On behalf of the conservative movement, we are demanding you terminate Mr. Collegio," they wrote. “An apology is not acceptable."

Then there's Akin. Out of the three Tea Party candidates - thanks to money given to his campaign by the democrat incumbent - the weakest candidate won. Palin supported another candidate and after the moronic comment from Akin, even Hannity asked him to resign and told him he would loose if he continued with his campaign.
If conservatives are going to back a candidate, the candidate needs to be on the model of Cruz, not Christine. If Tea Party/Conservative supporters can't discern the difference -as in Akin's case, you get the nonentities like McCaskill that eventually won those races.
Are these self-proclaimed leaders of the Conservative movement actually calling Bozell a beloved and critically important player? Let's see who else we can over rate. 98% of American citizens never heard of him. A true Beltway Conservative.
Given the way conservative voters are hated by GOP insiders, is it any wonder why the GOP has not said a peep as Obama classifies conservatives as domestic terrorists.
The dems would never stand for liberal voters being classifed by the government as domestic terrorists even though most political violence comes out of the left.
Rove and all the advisors who have lost the last two elections have got to go. We don’t need two immoral socialist parties who hate Christianity, constitutional governance, ideals and freedoms.
I realize that I am very late getting in here, but I HAVE to respond to your post. Todd Akin would have made an EXCELLENT senator. Any cursory reading of his voting record as a congressman shows that his Conservative credentials were absolutely impeccable. He could not be bullied, bought, or bribed into voting against the Conservative principles we always insist we want but hardly ever get.
ROVE destroyed this man. And rove deserves to burn in hell for what he did to mortally wound our candidates which includes O’Donnell...AND Sarah Palin, BTW.
I will never forgive him for much of what he has done to take the GOP unto the sewer.
Its not just Rove
Ailes and FOX as well
And more....they have the exposure and money
We have the numbers
We have Mark Levi.
Rush and Hannity are muted
Collegio isn’t very collegial.
I think Rush has positioned himself over time as being for free trade. Has not moved to America first, so he stays where he is for now.
Rush I love you, but I would start moving toward American sourcing for things.
Just saying.
“The word has gone out around the world. Come to America; it is ripe for the raping. Entitlements? No worries. We’ll (current illegals and other immigrants and sympathizers) walk you through all the motions of getting on the dole. We’ll get you a driver’s license (and register to vote, to boot), we’ll get you WICs, EITC (with a fake SS number), TANF, SNAP, Section 8 housing, and all the rest.”
In the 1990s I first learned that there are books available in Asia describing how to game the American welfare system. I know of wealthy Asian immigrants, including Indians, who brought over their relatives and are tapping American taxpayers for their support and medical care. I know of Korean nationals who have their kids overstay their visitor visas and enroll them in high school courtesy of California taxpayers
No one in American politics has lifted a finger to stop these well entrenched abuses. Instead we have fools like Dubya and now Rubio trying to make the situation even worse with another Amnesty.
I still recall how the Treason Lobby tricked President Reagan into signing the 1986 Amnesty by promising that it would the only Amnesty in history, that they would make sure that illegal aliens would be sent packing. The scum were lying to us then, and they are lying to us now.
They commit the most horrible abuses of the golden cow, and then after years and years of continued abuse and excess, now wonder why they can no longer butcher the meat because none is left.
“Are these self-proclaimed leaders of the Conservative movement actually calling Bozell a beloved and critically important player? Let’s see who else we can over rate. 98% of American citizens never heard of him. A true Beltway Conservative. “
Brent Bozell III?
The president of Media Research Center?
The son of a founder of National Review?
The guy whose father was Bill Buckley’s brother in law?
He’s just not a publicity whore, and you’re a fool to dismiss him as “A true Beltway Conservative.”
And if they kill it they will just move on. It’s not their country after all, they are here because of what they can take.
