Karl Rove -- When did FreeRepublic learn to hate you?
Please explain why we hate Karl Rove.
(Excerpt) Read more at freerepublic.com ...
I am not defending Rove’s position on this issue. I have said that I disagree with him on this. I am saying ‘dont throw the baby out with the bathwater’.
I am defending Rove from over the top speculation as to his motives and not this specific position of his. I have said since my first post that I am not in agreement with Rove in this stance of his.
I am saying that if O’Donnell can clean her chalk board quickly, Coon will be the only one with his board chalk full of target rich information. She would be free to throw out all Coon’s stuff to the voters with her own slate wiped clean.
I made a baseless accusation against Freepers? Why dont we just contact a mod or the owner now and ask if they agree with my statement that you took objection to then and went on to accuse me of being Alinsky material.
It is not secret at all that many Paul types bombard FR. Yet you seem to take offense to that statement of mine?
Your focus on these issues demonstrates you are not up to date on them. All of Ms. O’Donnell’s answers are quite reasonable and well within the normal experience of millions of Americans.
It has been established beyond any doubt that Rove tried to get people to abandon O'Donnell's campaign and join Castle's. He never informed Fox viewers of that involvement with Castle's campaign and specifically claimed that his repeated exhaustive airing of O'Donnell's alleged problems were only his normal musings as a commentator. How is it "over the top" to point that lapse of ethics out?
Even Dick Morris gives a disclaimer whenever he opines on someone he has associations with.
Yes, why don't you do that?
It is not secret at all that many Paul types bombard FR.
That is not what you said. You claimed that "Ron Paul types and Code Pink wackos" were on this thread trashing Tokyo Rove. Back that up, chief!
I have already said that Rove obviously supported Castle over O’Donnel but that doesn’t make Rove the enemy. It just makes him mistaken in this instance.
Many are taking a stance of painting him as an enemy. That is what I object to.
That is not what you have said.
It’s is an established fact that he was hiding something. His partisan interest in the Delaware primary.
No I never claimed that they were here. I just said it wouldn’t suprise me. Learn how to read.
Again learn how to read.
I have said since the beginning that Rove obviously supported Castle and that I disagreed with his position.
I also said since the beginning of my posts here that my position was to not ‘throw the baby out with the bathwater’
How was he hiding it? Did he tell Fox to not ask him certain questions? Or do you just think that he should have been forced to disclose his every move?
What does this mean then?
Of course there have been many Ron Paul types infiltrating FR who align themselves with the ideology of Code Pink. It is no suprise then that we are seeing a hatred and an attack on Rove.
And this:
But I am not jumping on the band-wagon of the Code Pink type who want to crucify him.
And you accused one person here directly.
Again you want to make claims like ‘sneaking around’ and then call names. Conspiracy type of crap that you here from Code Pink and Ron Paul Truthers.
Don't provoke it. Don't belittle it. Don't characterize it as inconsequential. It was something big. It was enormous. And it is happening in its time.
As is in the nature of things.
Mr. Rove, the time has come for you to go. For failure to see these signs and dismiss them as insignificant, the time has come for you to go.
I have been a loyal, even fanatical, GOP foot solider for 30 years. You and I have smashed heads a bunch of times on a bunch of things
That is all done.
Watching Rove, and the national GOP slime their own nominated candidate every day since Tuesday ended that.
And I am far from the only one who is feeling this way. You lose people like me, you have lost the GOP base.
And it has been pointed out to you that it was more than that it was also active participation in Castle's campaign and he did not disclose that, as is the ethical thing to do, as a "commentator." Then you rail against the person who points that out as what it is. A hidden agenda and sneaky.
“I carefully reviewed all of the pertinent clips and print.
I feel that Mr. Rove has only done what what Mr. Rove is PAID to do. That is extremely similar to selecting WINNERS.”
No, Rove was a PUBLIC SERVANT being paid with tax dollars when he ran the White House. He didn’t serve us, he served his own ambitions at our expense.
And if you actually have reviewed Tokyo Rove, you’d know he’s never been on any side but his own. We don’t need political hacks who try to make us feel thankful to hear their opinions and have no intention of honoring the Constitution much less us peons. But perhaps you’re just another statist/party first person who agrees with the likes of Rove and his favorite buddy Grover Norquist.
I don’t NEED a Karl Rove to tell me who I should vote for.
I admit that I have not followed O’Donnell’s responses to the dirt. If she has cleared the board with the voters, she can go after Coon with gun blazing.
Read my post that you responded to and I did not say that anyone here was a Ron Paul supporter but that I suspected (wouldn’t be suprised) that it was the Ron Paul faction that was fueling attacks on Rove.
And I didn’t accuse the other poster of this though I said that I was getting that vibe only. With phrases like ‘sneaking around’ and calling Rove a ‘LIAR’ due to a lack of disclosure of all of his activities while he is doing a talk show is pure conspiracy type of rhetoric.
