NewsBusters Interview: Karl Rove Slams Lefty Blogosphere, Talks Media, Praises iPhone
NewsBusters.org ^ | Matthew Sheffield

Are liberal Democrats less likely to have social lives than conservatives?

According to Karl Rove, the answer to that question is yes. The Republican guru all but made that argument explaining why he thought liberals are more likely to be on the web than conservatives.

"I hate to sound sort of diffident about it but it strikes me that a lot of people on the right have got active lives and are doing other things," Rove said. "The idea of spending a lot of time on the internet and taking their talents and displaying them there is not something [conservatives] really do."

Still, Rove said that he would like to see more righties on YouTube and elsewhere, counteracting what he said was a greater emphasis on public relations on the part of Democrats.

The former White House deputy chief of staff also talked blogs, telling NewsBusters his favorites include Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto, National Review's Corner, mixed with a dash of "objective" media like the New York Times and the Washington Post along with blogs such as Instapundit and Power Line.

We also talked a bit of personal tech as Rove waxed rhapsodic about his new Apple iPhone. Looks like Rush Limbaugh is going to have to make room for another famous conservative who likes Apple products.

He is oblivious to a whole new world[cyberspace].

Rove is a clown, and everyone with a lick of sense knows it. Other than GW Bush, is there anyone who still listens to him?

Anyone who is hated by lefties as much as Karl “The Architect” Rove, has my admiration and attention.

Being hated by the left does not make a person a conservative. Besides, the right hates him almost as much, and that doesn't make him a leftist.

I am a conservative, and I LOVE KARL ROVE.

The local Pauleroids hate him, and they claim to be conservative, so I have to give you that, at least.

Funny: Left-wingers at Think Progress get upset at Rove for calling their blogs obscenity-laden and get back at him by proving him right!
