BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (CBS) ― About 100 fans came out to hear Karl Rove at the Saban Theatre Monday to discuss his book "Courage and Consequences: My Life As a Conservative In The Fight." Anti-war protesters came out, some rushing the stage, to call Rove a "war criminal" and worse.
About 100 fans came out to hear Karl Rove at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills Monday night to discuss his book "Courage and Consequences: My Life As a Conservative In The Fight," -- but the fight wasn't contained to his book.
Anti-war protesters came out, some rushing the stage, to call Rove a "war criminal" and worse.
The fans came to get their books signed, but they never got that chance.
One woman, the co-founder of the anti-war group Code Pink, approached him with handcuffs and said she was there to make a citizen's arrest. Jodie Evans charged him with "outing a CIA agent...you lied to take us to war..." and "totally ruining the country."
KCAL 9's Dave Bryan was there and said Rove "was shouted down and forced to leave the stage."
Another woman screamed at Rove, "The only comfort I take is that...you're going to rot in hell."
Rove, meanwhile, charged that the people shouting him down were an example of the "totalitarianism of the left...they don't believe in dialog...they don't believe in courtesy. They don't believe in first Amendment rights for anyone but themselves."
There were several heated exchanges between Rove and his critics before he decided he had enough and he left the stage.
He called one detractor a "lunatic." He told several others repeatedly to "get the heck out of here."
Bryan reported that security was apparently lacking and Rove was "left to fend for himself."
I don't live far from this event. I wish I had been there to help shout the freaks down. If we righties are such brutes as the media is trying to make out, then these people wouldn't have ended up being able to chase Rove off the stage--and they'd not have left with unbroken bones. But apparently the 100 conservatives in attendance acted like civilized humans and let the apes have free reign. So much for the media's narrative of the right being a bunch of out of control thugs.
Said it before... will say it again. Conservatives need to have their own security staff on hand to deal with these people. Crack a few skulls and break a few bones (by accident of course) and you’ll see if these losers will be brazen enough to try this again.
I agree, Rove cannot depend on liberals for security, they want us dead.
Just imagine what they will do to us when we go in for healthcare?
Sickeningly scary.
I say we get them, before they get us.
Sack DC!
De rigueur now. The shutting down of public discourse. Meetin at the building soon be over. How did you like your freedom, folks? Wasn’t it great?
If I were at this event and saw one of these creeps acting like a lunatic, I would have rush up, grabbed them around their arms and said, “Let’s go! You have made your point and it is time for you to leave!” Then, that person would have been moved out of the room as fast as I could move them. If the person had put up resistance, I would have called out for help—and got it.
If others of that person’s ilk came after me, I would have called for all of them join me outside.
Every once in a while the Progressives show their true colors. Of course I don’t hear our beloved leaders in Congress and the White House condemning this kind of behavior.
You have to love that there's civility in public discourse.
bttt
One of these days these Code Pinko B!tches are going to spout off to the wrong person and get their head blown off.
It’s good to know the left is concerned about all of the hate and threatening rhetoric out there...
oh, crickets chirping at CBSNBCCNNMSNBC? Or will they applaude the scum?
I think those crickets must be getting pretty tired right now.
I could recommend some female security people . I guarantee code pink would not cause Mr. Rove to depart early .
Heads up for anyone watching Megyn Kelly on Fox. She plans to have that kook leader of Code Pinko on in another hour. I wonder if Megyn can ask this hypocrite about their funding of terrorists in Fallujah to the tune of $650,000 dollars while blasting Bush and co. for so-called “war crimes”.
Code Pinko funded Fallujah terrorists? Please explain.
TOP OBAMA CAMPAIGN FINANCIER WORKING WITH STATE SPONSORS OF TERRORISM TO UNDERMINE U.S.
In the post, it says "over $600,000" but I read a post here where that number was over $650,000. I can't seem to find that post though. Either way, these so-called "peace-loving" ... females are hypocrites, given their support for terrorists and dictator scum like Hugo Chavez.
Thanks. This whore should be stood in front of a firing squad as the vile traitor she is.
