Karl Rove: 'I don't like being called the establishment'
Fresh Ink (GOPUSA) ^ | September 17, 2010 | The Scribe

Maybe he should have thought of that before his big rant against Christine O'Donnell on primary night. Here he is mending fences.

It is true that he has raised a lot of money for Sharron Angle and some other Tea Party candidates with his American Crossroads group.

Sometimes he helps and though he deserves no credit for it he unwittingly helped Christine O'Donnell by stirring up the grassroots who were angered by his anti-O'Donnell rant. The next morning Rush Limbaugh asked everyone to send Christine $1. By the morning of the second day she had collected well over $1 million. Maybe Karl should go out and rant against another Tea Party candidate.

Then stop acting like it, Karl.

But either way, he IS the establishment.
He defines the establishment.
He was the political brains of the last decade of the GOP.
He decided who would expand the GOP majority.
He helped fund them. He helped elect them.

They were his friends and colleagues for 8 years.
It’s no wonder he’s pitching a fit as his old Washington friends he worked with so closely all lose their jobs.

But that is the definition of “The Establishment.”

How is it that the political genius Rove put his foot in his mouth? Maybe not so smart after all.

Kind of like 0bama not wanting to be thought of as a dog... if he didn’t treat the country like a fire hydrant, he wouldn’t be thought a dog...

It was no news that he looks down on us unwashed conservative villeins.

Remember the way GWB was defecating all over us during “immigration reform” back in 2007? Don’t tell me he didn’t have a hand in that.

Karl, conservatives are not groupthinkers.

We know fact from fiction, truth from lies and you Sir are the Establishment.

Dear Karl (Tokyo) Rove:
I don't like you being called to appear on cable TV. I don't like you being called a conservative. I guess we will both just have to learn to live with it you RINO establishment POS.

Hey, so what’s the difference between 0bummer and his dog?

His dog has legitimate birth papers.

“Karl Rove: ‘I don't like being called the establishment1’

Don't blame you, Karl. That's inappropriate. That's why from here on in, I will refer to you as a “Total Douched Bag”

And if the Tea Party can take enough seats in the House and Senate and possibly the presidency, THEY will become the establishment. It’s sorta how it works.
