Democrats are demanding that White House adviser Karl Rove immediately retract and apologize for comments that liberals responded to the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes by wanting to ``prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.''
``The one thing New York has had since Sept. 11 is unity,'' said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. ``To inject politics into this and to defame a large number of people'' is outrageous, he said. ``It's not what New York and America is all about.''
Rove, Bush's chief political adviser, said in a speech Wednesday that ``liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.'' Conservatives, he said in the speech to the New York state Conservative Party just a few miles north of Ground Zero, ``saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war.''
Rove said the Democratic Party made the mistake of calling for ``moderation and restraint'' after the terrorist attacks.
Schumer said Democrats were drafting a letter asking Rove to retract his remarks. Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also called on President Bush to ``immediately repudiate Karl Rove's offensive and outrageous comments.''
Rove also denounced Sen. Dick Durbin's comments comparing interrogation at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to the methods of Nazis and other repressive regimes. He said the statements have been broadcast throughout the Middle East, putting U.S. troops in greater danger. The Illinois Democrat has since apologized for the remarks.
``No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals,'' Rove said.
I also nominate Karl Rove for Time Magainze's "Man Of The Year", for being a real man and showing that he has real "rocks" and pointing out the truth about the liberals.
DINGDINGDINGDING!
Is there anything more ironic than a crack whore making recriminations?
Thanks. It's like catching them with their pants down.
Amen, Karl! AMEN!
I second that nomination, though I wish he would've done it long ago!
I hope everyone finds out what he said.
Banging my head against the wall
Welcome to FR.
So tell me please. What do you think of Durbin's recent remarks?
Liberalism is the philosophy of sniveling brats."

The reason you RATS start foaming at the mouth, and sharpening your fangs when you Listen to Karl Rove is because ole Karl calls em AS HE SEES EM! Your hate America first attitude is catching up with you and you just can't take it. Deal with it traitors! It's the truth!
"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."
"Conservatives saw what happened to us on 9/11 and said, 'We will defeat our enemies,' " Mr. Rove continued at a gathering in Midtown for the Conservative Party of New York State. "Liberals saw what happened to us and said, 'We must understand our enemies.' "
Bwahaha. I believe you're right on the money there, sir. (or maam)
Rove is on Target, nothing but the truth here.

Kerry on striking back against terrorists:
"But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons."
