Yep, if we have to punish a guy for misspeaking, why should the guy throwing the rocks be held to a different standard?

[JRandomFreeper]

Nothing new here. Rove has trash talked every conservative that has passed by.

One more reason to flush the GOP.

If Rove was such an asset how come not one campaign, even for dogcatcher, has sought to retain his services? Could it be the guy is just another dipshit opportunist loudmouth, like most "consultants?"

longtime Republican BUSH adviser and BUSH confidant Karl Rove

[who knows what evil?]

“At the very least Rove should make a public apology. “Rove has been calling on Todd Akin ...but the one who should resign because he made an embarrassing, malicious and downright stupid remark is Karl Rove.”

You have nailed it, ma'am...

[MestaMachine]

Karma. It’s a b!tch.
I don’t know about anybody else, but I am seeing a Divine Symphony playing here...and the music is sweet.

[entropy12]

Please everyone just leave rep. Akin alone!

Rove and anyone else should ignore rep. Akin. He will soon lose by dozen points to McCaskil and will join the ash heap of forgotten politicians such as Joe Miller, Doug Hoffman, Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donell, Ken Buck, JD Hayworth etc.

Rove = RINO = Republicrat = Democan = Useless.

What a bunch of weenies.
No one can take a joke anymore.
Everyone is constantly offended by everything.
Grow a set people.

[cripplecreek]

The problem is that where is Rove going to go? Does he hold any official position or is he simply another self appointed critic?

Like most FReepers, I'm fed up with Karl Rove and Fox News treating him as if he were Ronald Reagan, reincarnated. He's a classic RINO and has no use for conservatives. The feeling is mutual. The BS that you can make a joke out of saying a politician should be murdered shows that Rove is not only mean-spirited but far from the political genius he probably thinks he is. Unfortunately, I believe that Karl Rove has his tentacles into the RNC on many levels and won't be going anywhere. Still, just getting his smug, pudgy face off of every other Fox News interview and commentary show would be a small relief for most of us.

[Carthego delenda est]

Rove’s comment is a very toned down glimpse of his vicious cut throat nature. Maybe it is time for the little bug eyed bald ‘architect’ to go back to rap singing.

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

I would love to see TURDBLOSSOM walk the plank.

[Gene Eric]

Continuing the theme of persecuting the random sloppy, GOP tongue.

It might help Akin to publicly give Rove a pass on this.

For instance:

A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention.

Silliness.

I’m a proponent of free speech. Akin, Rove, whoever. We have the right to say what we think.

If it’s something stupid, people aren’t going to listen to you. They’ll think you’re a fool. They won’t vote for you.

Akin is running. Rove is not. Neither am I.

If Akin says something stupid, he can lose votes, lose an election, kill chances for the GOP to take the Senate.

If Rove or I say something stupid, we sound stupid. Maybe embarrass our mothers and kids, but that’s about it.

Rove is paid to say what he thinks, to run his well-connected and well-informed mouth. So are other political commentators. I enjoy listening to them, take it all with a grain of salt.

It’s absurd and unAmerican to get your panties in a wad over free speech.

[montag813]

Rove is spending $300 million to defeat Obama.

Democrats spent $1.5 million to help Akin win (3 times what he spent himself!)

I dislike them both, but Akin can be replaced by anyone and they would crush McCaskill. Who will we "replace" Rove and his $300 million with?

[Berlin_Freeper]

Rove needs to go back to the turd that blossomed him.
