New York -- Speaking in a Manhattan ballroom just a few miles north of ground zero, Karl Rove said on Wednesday night that the Democratic party did not understand the consequences of the Sept. 11 attacks.
"Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Rove said. "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war."
Rove, President Bush's chief political advisor, spoke at the state Conservative Party's annual dinner. He praised the conservative movement's success, calling it "the guiding philosophy for the White House, the Senate, the House."

Bingo. Liberals are a sad lot. Their moral confusion is profound - and it shows.
Hell, I don't even care if they fear us.
I simply want them dead before they can harm my grandchildren.
Semper Fi
This will, without doubt, give Reid, Durbin, Dean and most of the Democratic Party a case of the vapors!
>>>I don't care why they hate us, just as long as they fear us.
I want them to know that as long as they play ball with us nice, we won't shove the bat up their (bleep).
Man that is a GOOD STATEMENT!!!!
Excellent. I hope Karl and GWB don't back down. This is the stuff we need!!!!!!! Wooooo Hooooo!!!!
Well said, Karl. It is the truth and also a winning political message.
That's no incentive. jihadists are grabasstic and would think we'redoing them a favor.
Rove also denounced Sen. Dick Durbin's comments comparing interrogation at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to the methods of Nazis and other repressive regimes
remember how the beautiful people scurried out of NYC and fled back to Hollyweird? They were patriotic for maybe 6 hours after landing in CA. Then they started banging the drums for atonement.....
And Rove doesn't get the consequences of an open border. That SOB isn't as smart as he thinks he is.
'Rove said the Democratic Party made the mistake of calling for "moderation and restraint" after the terrorist attacks.
"Conservatives saw what happened to us on 9/11 and said we will defeat our enemies. Liberals saw what happened to us and said we must understand our enemies."
Rove also denounced Sen. Dick Durbin's comments comparing interrogation at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to the methods of Nazis and other repressive regimes. He said the statements have been broadcast throughout the Middle East, putting American troops in greater danger. Durbin has since apologized for the remarks.
"No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals," Rove said.'
BTTT. Wish Rove's statement would fit on our taglines, huh?
Don't trash Rove now. He's finally talking tough. Who knows. Maybe it will become a habit.
They lost 19 voters on those jet airliners.
Yes!, got to work on a new tagline....
Because, as we all know, the advisors set policy.
I do hope this kind of talk will be standard issue in 2008, where there is a higher probability that the American public at large would hear these things. But somehow it will not happen. Wait and see. And even if Iraq is turns out to be a great model of democracy in the mideast, somehow the republicans will not get the message out of who was responsible. And more sadly yet, the American people will not remember nor care. This has become a national tragidy that just seems to become more distinct as the "dumbing down" process proceeds on schedule.
