After Race Called, Rove Continues To Rip O'Donnell
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

"This is probably one of the few times we're going to disagree here." -- Sean Hannity to Karl Rove regarding Christine O'Donnell.

I'll say. Even after Fox News called the Delaware GOP senatorial primary for Christine O'Donnell tonight, Karl Rove continued to rip the winner, questioning everything from O'Donnell's "rectitude" to her "character." Concluded the pessimistic Rove: "this is not a race we're going to be able to win."

Sean defended O'Donnell staunchly, but was met with a litany of Roveian criticism of Christine, including these comments:

Perfect! O’Donnell, bloodied in battle, emerges victorious with her smaller yet valiant and dedicated tea party army against more powerful forces.

“…making personal attacks…”

Agreed…no reason to do the DNC’s work for them.

This NRSC not supporting O’Donnell doesn’t appear to be accurate though - It appears Fox News is spinning the waters here some -

Everyone is reading this election year wrong! This is a year of change, new people, and new ideas! To you and all the rest of you that continue to think like the GOP party regulars, you do need to understand that this is the year of the internet. This is barely the beginning of this movement...

As to you Charles, I really don’t care if we lose this individual race in Delaware. I am looking at the future (and you should also). This is just the beginning of the purge - more is to come and it won’t be pretty for the GOP.

As to the many GOP RINO holders on, get lost... You have or will be thrown out with the other garbage. Things are going to change, even if it takes 2,4,6,20 years... We are going to prevail! Retire now or get voted out!

Rove looked foolish tonight.

Lot’s of Establishment knows where his bread is buttered wormishness there.

He really smeared O’Donnell gratuitously tonight.

Disgusting.

Rove asshole side of his personality was definitely on display.

The Bush boys in the GOP are not happy.

Even that would have shown him to be a sore loser. After all, aren’t all Republicans supposed to support the GOP candidate no matter what?

Far as I’m concerned, Rove, Cornyn, and the NRSC can all sod off.

The bad news for Rove, Cornyn and the Rest of The Rino’s is
more RINO’s will be sent packing in the coming future elections.

Dems hate Rove with a passion...maybe a few in DE will see this(by voting for O'Donnell in the general)as a way to punch Rove in the face.

Rove you magnificent bastard! /s

Rove is an “establishment” republican. I voted for George Bush in 2000 and 2004 but found out he is no Conservative. I agreed with him on the “War on Terror” but not much else. Rove just can’t accept the fact that the “ruling class” has been “uncloaked” and that real Americans are on the rise.

“Rove is, without a doubt after tonight (along with the Weekly Standard and NRO) firmly in the Rockefeller RINO camp.”

Weekly Standard and National Review - Bildeberger and Council of Foreign Relations NWO freaks as I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions previously. Neocons=phony conservatives.

Some people think being delinquent on a student loan is a character flaw. Others think it’s a DWI.

I wonder if Rove knew about Bush’s checkered DWI background and mislead the voting public by not being forthcoming?

Thanks for posting the Video!

Rove is going to have to answer for sliming the GOP nominee. What he doesn't get is that the voters KNOW all the negatives. They want someone to vote AGAINST Cap and Trade and the other issues. O'Donnell will. Rove should be looking for the warts on Coons instead of the trash talking.

I have never seen him act in so unprofessionally and with such disloyalty.

Absolutely right! I was disgusted by both and have since changed my opinion regarding many of the GOP hangers on...

But I see no point in making personal attacks on her on the night of her primary victory.

I would go much further. Rove, if he wants to be in my Republican Party needs to do everything he is capable of to help her get elected. It is his DUTY if he is a Republican.

This is the credo of the true Republican:

I have often pondered over the dangers which were incurred by the men who assembled here, and framed and adopted that Declaration of Independence. I have pondered over the toils that were endured by the officers and soldiers of the army who achieved that Independence. I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the Colonies from the motherland; but that sentiment in the Declaration of Independence which gave liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but, I hope, to the world, for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weight would be lifted from the shoulders of all men. This is a sentiment embodied in the Declaration of Independence. Now, my friends, can this country be saved upon that basis? If it can, I will consider myself one of the happiest men in the world, if I can help to save it. If it cannot be saved upon that principle, it will be truly awful. But if this country cannot be saved without giving up that principle, I was about to say I would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender it.

> Could you ever, EVER imagine a Democrat turning on a Democrat like this!

Actually, Jerry Brown’s assault on Bill Clinton this week was pretty memorable.

Liberals most definitely eat their own.

This election cycle sure has been an education for me. I never thought I would see such a reaction from the Republican Party ruling class. At least we now know for sure who the RINOs are.

Wake up and kick these liberal traitors out folks..
