Rove Denies Role in 2000 Rumor About McCain’s Adopted Daughter

FOXNews.com

Republican political guru Karl Rove denied on Monday that he had anything to do with the scurrilous rumor during the 2000 presidential campaign that John McCain had fathered a black child.

[snip]Rove, in an interview with NBC’s “Today” show, said on Monday that charges that he was behind the poll were totally false.

“Nothing to do with it. This is the kind of thing the media love, these kind of allegations,” Rove said. “But for people in practical politics, I’ve got to tell you, I was seized with fear when this rumor began to circulate through South Carolina.”

He said the rumor actually started with a “professor at Bob Jones University.”

McCain, who came into South Carolina in 2000 with a pivotal win under his belt from the New Hampshire primary, lost that contest to Bush and was unable to recover.

Rove said McCain should have turned the rumor campaign to his advantage, but he blew his chance by sulking.

“But rather than doing that, John McCain said, ‘I’m a victim,’ and was angry and complained about it and pointed the finger at Bush when he had no evidence whatsoever.”

By the way, whoever wrote that McCain fathered a black
child knows nothing about genetics or common sense.
McCain, according to all external features, is a white
man. He cannot father a black child. The phantom child
could only be 50% black at most. The child would be
biracial, or mulatto, or high yellow or what ever, but
not black. Tiger is not black, neither is Halle Berry,
neither is Barack, “mutts”, I think he said.

He (Karl Rove) said the rumor actually started with a “professor at Bob Jones University.”

Name him Karl. You owe him nothing.
