Karl left the WH a year or so ago... this sounds like one of those liberal hatchet jobs using Rove as the lightning rod for the vast right wing conspiracy...
I seriously doubt Karl is wasting his time with politics these days when he can make so much more money with less headache in the private sector...
For sure. ...and he's a billionaire and is only offering a measly million? Cheap and an idiot!
You mean ONLY Hillary can release it?
If Hill’s got it, she’d have released it.
No way she’s sit on it.
for later
Karl, Rush, Hannity, FNS, hillary, etc., etc., would have that thing on an endless loop running 36 hours a day, one and a half times the speed of time!
I wouldn’t bet money on the tape’s existence. “I have video proof of Obama raping a chicken - but I am not going to release it right now” - wow that was easy.
Wanting it to be true does not make it so. While I have no doubt that Michelle has said things which would render BHO’s campaign toxic to all but the most militant racist activists and haters of America (lol - she already has gotten pretty damn close), there is simply no information available I can use to judge the veracity of claims that an actual tape exists. I take very little ‘on faith’, especially in politics. I spent a lot of time in Missouri :)
Speaking for “most” of the community, your generalization is incorrect.
The tape would be devastating. If it comes out too soon, Obama will nix it and it will be old news by election time.
Obama has his followers true blue, but it’s the white vote he needs and this tape would make that all but unlikely.
Also, the MSM would not make much of the tape unless it has a grass roots following starting with Fox News.
My guess is that if it exists, it would be our advantage if Hillary’s camp put it out.
My money’s on this being total bunk, if it existed hillary would already be the wearing the Queen’s crown, just idling waiting around for her entitlement coronation to be fulfilled!
Geeze...Just mentioning the word “ROVE” is like mentioning “Frau Blücher”
I won’t believe it until I see it.
If a tape exists, it seems to me that Hilliary will want to MAKE IT LOOK LIKE the GOP releases it. She will not want to be the one.
Tricky.
Second.
Though, I've been wrong more than I'd like to admit lately.
Nope.
They need to hold it until at least early October so that the dims can't pull another Lautenberg for Toricelli swap like the did in New Jersey in '02.
It needs to be kept under wraps until it is too late for them to change horses.
Its a good story, but who ever made it up should have stopped before they got to the silly part about the right-wing billionaire.
Churchill paid him this eulogy:
It fell to Neville Chamberlain in one of the supreme crises of the world to be contradicted by events, to be disappointed in his hopes, and to be deceived and cheated by a wicked man. But what were these hopes in which he was disappointed? What were these wishes in which he was frustrated? What was that faith that was abused? They were surely among the most noble and benevolent instincts of the human heart-the love of peace, the toil for peace, the strife for peace, the pursuit of peace, even at great peril, and certainly to the utter disdain of popularity or clamour. Whatever else history may or may not say about these terrible, tremendous years, we can be sure that Neville Chamberlain acted with perfect sincerity according to his lights and strove to the utmost of his capacity and authority, which were powerful, to save the world from the awful, devastating struggle in which we are now engaged. This alone will stand him in good stead as far as what is called the verdict of history is concerned.
Obama isn't fit to shine Chamberlain's boots.
If I had to guess, I’d say it’s Rupert Murdoch.
Dang, Whitey's dead...
Whether the mistake is rooted in sincere naivity or intent ideology, the results and outcome are the same.
Chamberlain attempted to sincerely appease a tyrant by giving over millions of people who had a defense pact with England and ignoring that pact. The result was horrific war and deaths of many tens of millions.
Obama will attempt to appease tyrants with his ideology, which he will truthfully be able to represent as more in line with their own...and the results will end up being the same.
Chamberlain was a sincere appeaser looking for peace and it emboldened terrible evil.
Obama will be an intent appeaser, using his ideology, and it will likewise embolden terrible evil.
To those on the receiving end of the evil, the difference is pretty immaterial.
