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.
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.
