Karl Rove is not a "personal boogey-man." But he epitomizes a variety of very shallow political analysis, which has unfortunately been accepted by those we used to call "Modern Republicans," later "Rockefeller Republicans," and still later a variety of other things. In Karl Rove--Dysron, Quack Or Mole?, we try to demonstrate the absurdity of the Rove approach to several of the most important issues of the day. It is not just absurd from the perspective of a Conservative trying to preserve Conservative values. It is equally absurd as a blue-print for practical politics.
Rove simply does not analyze concepts in context. He is caught in a form of tunnel vision, where his responses are both predictable, and predictably wrong, from the standpoint of either the American tradition or electing Republicans to office.
