Rove has already driven the moonbats off the cliff more than 10 times.......
and that is good enough for me...
LOL
Don’t you just love the dimwits foul and unclassy shots at everyone?
You know, I was thinking. When people decide to vote; they should really think before voting for Hillary. They could be next on her hit list. It appears she has info on everyone? I wonder if she uses classified government sites other than the FBI files we know about to obtain this info. It is something worth considering because people like her will turn on everyone.
Um, how do we KNOW that Rove’s step-father is not gay and does not have genital piercings? The story is awful far and wide and I have never seen Rove repudiate it. Seems to me that this one is explosive enough for him to have angrily denied it if untrue.
So, convince me that this story of Rove’s step-dad is untrue.
By even bothering to repudiate this nonsense he will give it credibility.
Your post is a joke, right? Sarcasm, right?
Any guesses on who will contribute to the next gay sex scandal?
"Your post is a joke, right? Sarcasm, right?"
No. Not at all.
I am NOT in any mood to "defame" Karl Rove because he is a brilliant political strategist. But before I pronounce this story about his step-dad a false one, I need proof that it IS false!!
Besides, why should a wacky step-dad reflect badly on Karl, anyway? If his step-dad was a gay, body piercing, goof-ball, so what?
It's what Karl did with HIS life that is important here. I just don't care if his step-dad was gay or a Martian... or a gay Martian.
But here is the important thing for us to consider. It is easy to assume that such stories just can't be true... but stranger things have happened in life. And before we start calling newspapers names and denouncing them we'd BETTER have our OWN facts straight.
So, once again, I ask anyone out there -- ANYBODY -- to prove this story is fake, that Karl Rove's step-dad is NOT a gay body piercer.
Burden of proof is on the writer not the reviewer
Rule in journalism:
consider the source
don’t trust until you verify from reputable 3rd party source
both lacking here
"Rule in journalism:Yes, lacking both to PROVE the story and to DISPROVE the story.consider the source
dont trust until you verify from reputable 3rd party source
both lacking here"
That is the POINT here.
I am neither believing this story nor disbelieving it. I want PROOF one way or the other before I pass judgment.
So far, it seems I am the only one on this thread actually observing the rules you quoted to me!
Why do you have any interest at all in a rumor like this? What difference does it make?
I think it’s bull. Made up bull. Why do you think it has to be disproved? I don’t. I just don’t believe it.
Headline: Alien abductee on the Internet claims extraterrestrials implanted a microship in her body
Do you believe it until proven false? This is what the original story is trying to do - assassinate by insinuation. It’s yellow journalism.

Check out Wikipedia, which seems pretty matter of fact.
His step father was “gay”, Rove didn’t know growing up that he was his step father, his mother committed suicide in 1981, after the divorce.
I’m not sure why any of this is important.
No one is asking you to pass judgment on Karl Rove or truth of any story. In fact you have demonstrated your judgment is irrelevant.
It is an old trick of the left to accuse and then stand back and demand that the negative be proven, no matter how spurious or baseless the original charge might be. No one has to play your game.
Well, you guys are not doing yourselves any favors by acting like such fools. You all want to believe it is false.... so you do, no proof required, no facts need apply. You yell at me for “not having proof” it is a true story... yet I never said I did. Still, not a ONE of you have proven the story is false despite that I’ve asked you to show me your proof half a dozen times.
I don’t believe the story just because some mentally defective fag wrote it in a body piercing magazine. For all I know it is fake as heck. But unlike you people, the TRUTH means something to me. So, if this story is true, then so be it. If it is false, so much the better. But PROOF one way or the other is needed before WE (not just me but WE) ALL condemn a newspaper that regurgitated the story. MY opinion of it being false or not is NOT the issue at all. The TRUTH is the issue!!!!
Unless, of course, not one of you CARE about the truth. If that is the case, then everything the left says about you would be true. Do you want THAT to be the case? I sure don’t.
So, since you guys just want to blindly ASSume that this story is false, I guess I’ll just move on to discuss some stories that matter with people who want to act like serious, grown-ups instead of petulant zombies like all who have appeared on this thread to attack me so far.
If integrity meant anything to you all, you’d be trying to find out the truth like I am.
