Don't worry about it, most of the population never even heard of Karl Rove. The 'Rats are wasting their time and effort.
The Dems are scoring points with those who don't inquire deeply into the news. Notice the accusative allegations in the headlines and first paragraphs of news stories? They do have an effect on those who don't inquire farther.
However, and this "however" gets bigger every day, those who inquire into the news by jumping around to a few websites (like F.R.) soon realize that the MSM is in full scale, hyperbolic, neo-scandal mongering, character assassination mode.
They are trying to do another Abou-Graibe, but their duplicity shows more-and-more with each counterfeit scandal.
Annnnd, the big picture is that those who inquire more deeply into the news, are more likely to convince others of their research, and are more likely to vote!
