The White House is rejecting Democratic demands that Karl Rove apologize for saying liberals meekly offered "therapy" for the terrorists as a response to 9/11.
Press Secretary Scott McClellan says President Bush's top political adviser was just "telling it like it is." Rove delivered his blast a few miles from Ground Zero in New York, at a Conservative Party dinner, he said liberals sought "understanding" for the attack and Democrats called for "moderation and restraint" while President Bush saw it for what it was: a declaration of war.
McClellan says Rove wasn't getting personal, just describing different philosophies.
Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean calls Rove's remarks "divisive and damaging." Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid says Rove should apologize, or resign.
At a Senate hearing on Iraq, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton called on military leaders to "immediately repudiate" what she called "an insulting comment."
Excellent!
I was on vacation in Europe at that time, that photo op got hugh play in their left wing media, seriesly.
And that "the threat of terrorism has been overrated", and that military action in Iraq is "the wrong war at the wrong time". What else? That our objectives have never been defined and that we have no exit strategy - which mantra has been taken up by Biden - and of course that he voted for the $86 million before he voted against it. And I THINK he mentioned that he's a Viet Nam veteran once....
...Remember all those VFW members turning their backs on him when he went to schlock his spiel before men who never turned traitor to their country? Another priceless moment.
I think that one might've been photoshopped.
He looks like he's holding a phone.
The Democrat leadership should be standing up for what they believe in, waving their hammer-and-sickle flags proudly, and not pretending that they're offended whenever someone of Rove's stature points out the obvious...
Then we'll see what NUCLEAR OPTION means, LOL, hopefully.
Is it my imagination, or do all aging female moonbats look like seahags after a while?
ROTFL, I concur

The Democratic Party's presidential front-runner, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., has pledged that if elected he will abandon the president's war on terror, begin a dialogue with terrorist regimes and apologize for three-and-one-half years of mistakes by the Bush administration.
In a sweeping foreign-policy address to the Council on Foreign Relations in December, Kerry called the U.S. war on terror as conceived and led by President Bush "the most arrogant, inept, reckless and ideological foreign policy in modern history."
Kerry's remarks were widely praised by journalists. The Associated Press headlined its report on his speech, "Kerry Vows to Repair Foreign Relations." The Knight Ridder news service noted that the new focus on foreign policy "plays to Kerry's strength." None of the major U.S. dailies found Kerry's unusually strident language at all inappropriate.
I don't think so, dear. It was an AP photo that I grabbed off of Yahoo Images.
Contrast the reactions to 9/11 by the most recognizable faces of the two major parties. President Bush recognized the perpetrators as "evil-doers and vowed to hunt them down.
Former President Bill Clinton focused his ire upon this country the victim of the 9/11 attacks!
"Those of us who come from various European lineages are not blameless, Clinton intoned at Georgetown University two months after the attacks. Citing the Crusades and other alleged crimes of Western civilization, Clinton at the same time that he condemned the attacks seemed to provide a rationalization for the terrorists actions.
Very good points! Thank God Clinton was not President on 9/11!
Good for McClellan. I like that guy!
Let's roll a few videotapes showing Dims saying exactly the sort of thing Rove was talking about, and watch them squirm.
Hannity is starting the process by quoting some out-of-this world statements from Dennis Kucinich re Afghanistan --demanding "peace now!" (And he made those statements only a couple of months after 9/11/2001.)
Hey Democrats. I got your apology right here: ^ (¿) ^
Don't they realize he said "liberals"?
Don't they realize what they're confirming by their reactions?
The party of Michael Moore seems to have a glass jaw, ROTFLMPJO.
Kerry is on the floor of the Senate demanding that Rove apologize! Is he the stupidest man in America or what?
A NaziFascistCapitalisttNeoconBushbot!
Yes...
...for a Republican.
Do you have the original version of that pic?
