"Murderer" and "Terrorist" - Karl Rove Heckled Throughout Speech In Massachusetts

[kpete]

.................

GOP strategist Karl Rove ventured into hostile territory on Tuesday night, delivering a speech repeatedly interrupted by boisterous protesters at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

According to CBS 3, the demonstrations raged both inside the auditorium and out, and Rove had barely begun speaking before people began standing up and shouting Rove down with accusations that his guidance of former President George W. Bush on the Iraq War had led to countless American and Iraqi casualties.

Calls of "murderer" and "terrorist" rained down on Rove, while others held signs that read "war criminal." Rove faced a similar confrontation by opponents in 2010, when demonstrators actually forced Rove to abandon a book signing in California.

1. Thank you protesters!!!

[blm]

4. !!!!!!!

.

[valerief]

43. +1000

[DearHeart]

44. I think this should be done to all the WAR CRIMINALS...EVERYWHERE THEY ARE OR VENTURE!!!!

[LeftinOH]

2. ..which is why his ilk usually only speak at "safe" campuses like Liberty U. n/t

[bemildred]

3. Must be great to know you are reviled and hated everywhere.

The new Kissinger.

[Frustratedlady]

10. Now, you can add many in the Republican party...

They sure weren't too happy with his performance during the last election...sounds like he made one too many promises and left many stunned at the outcome.

Tsk, tsk!

[datasuspect]

5. what will right wing extremist fascists think of the protestors for being so rude?

my, my heavens to mergatroid!

perish the thought.

[AndyA]

6. This treatment is still better than he deserves.

In a just world, he and his cronies would be investigated, prosecuted, and jailed for their war crimes.

We were lied to. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, there were no WMDs, and Iraq was not a threat to the United States. This was just a "good ole boy" deal gone bad, and Bushco decided to take care of it Texas style, at the expense of the American taxpayers and our troops.

Why in the hell was Rove even booked to speak? He's a liar at best, why would anyone but the most ignorant Kool-Aid drinker care what he has to say?

[AnneD]

14. In a just world.....

Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King would never go to jail and Karl Rove, George Bush, and Richard Nixon would have never seen the light of day after their crimes.

[Bigmack]

7. Rove loves this shit....

Being reviled by people he hates.

It gives him something to say on Fox...."Oh... the crazies are after me, so I know I must be right."

That pigfucking sociopath is immune to all criticism.

[Politicalboi]

54. Perhaps, but I bet

He looks under his boyfriends bed every night. It's gotta get to ya sometime. It's nice to know he has to watch his back.

[Volaris]

56. for more on Rove's "boyfriend",

go google Rove's Leather Slave, by the Rudepundit. There are multiple articles pertaining to such, and the time index relative to what was happening politically when they were written will help in understanding them, but NO ONE does mean quite like the Rude One.

If you have a hard stomach, you will quite enjoy them, I'm sure lol.

[Sheepshank]

8. Politicians and their hacks are so used to the public having short term memories only...

...that honestly and truly thing they can go back out into the public and be embraced...as if all is fogotten. These demonstrators have proven otherwise. Good for them!!!

Clearly, Sanford is hoping for the same type of short term political memory....lol

[sabrina 1]

9. Too bad we don't prosecute war criminals in this country. They are doing it in South America

now, some of the friends of some of our own war criminals, like Henry Kissenger.

[Poll_Blind]

11. I daresay even Nixon would have received a warmer reception. nt

PB

[peace13]

12. KKKcarl came to my hometown shortly after he was dethroned...

Our group protested as he crawled into town. The local college kids PAID him to speak.

As we stood on the corner with our signs some young passerby asked who Karl Rove was. We told them they better rush to educate themselves.

I vowed that day to never let him come to town without a welcome committee!

[treestar]

13. Good

Let him hear what people think of him. He will probably say he doesn't care, but it still could not be a good experience.

[KoKo]

15. Good!

[kimmylavin]

16. My Alma Mater!

Good for them!

He deserves worse, but it's a start.

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Mine too

Ewwwww that he set foot on campus.

He should have been out by the barns with the cows.

[magical thyme]

25. hey what did the cows ever do to you to merit such a curse? nt

[BumRushDaShow]

52. Their LOUD mooing woke us up way too early morning!

after doing all-nighters.

[magical thyme]

59. Meh! They're just introducing you to the

rhythms and cycles of nature so that you will live a healthier, happier life.

And complaining about your all night partying disrupting their right to sleep.

[lastlib]

17. Couldn't happen to a more deserving wet turd-smear......

....except his boss and his boss's vice.

[L0oniX]

18. Luvn the payback ...but it's not enough. n/t

[backscatter712]

19. When he dies, he too will get a sendoff like Thatcher's. n/t

[calimary]

20. May this kind of reception greet him EVERYWHERE he tries to go.

EVERYWHERE! I want protestors coming out of the faucets in every bathroom of every hotel room in which he's booked. I want them jumping out of his cup of coffee every morning. I want them looking back at him from EVERY mirror he glances into. I want protestors in EVERY window, hounding him til he breathes his last. Like piles of gum under his shoes. I want him hobbled by this, unable to take a single step, from coast-to-coast AND beyond our borders. Until his last miserable day on this planet. And then we'll follow his damned carcass to its grave where the worms and microbes can get at him and have their way with him on our behalf.

Not a SINGLE HOUR of peace for you, you bastard, for the rest of your detestable life.

[Auntie Bush]

46. I take it you don't particularly like Carl Rove.

[calimary]

49. Now what on earth would make you think that? };)

[Auntie Bush]

50. I just had a gut feeling...

I'm good at reading people's real thoughts...kind of psychic.

[lexw]

21. Sad thing is...

I'm sure there were people in the audience threatening the protesters.
Yup...it is possible to be above the law. This country sux.

[rocktivity]

23. They forgot

[font size="144pt"][center]"TRAITOR!!!"[/center][/font]

[magical thyme]

24. did anybody throw shoes at him?

I want to read about him having to duck a downpour of dirty old boots and tennis shoes.

Still, good on you, ZooMass folks!!!! Bring it on.

[xtraxritical]

26. k&r

[Blue Owl]

27. Glad to see it's not all rainbows for hamboy

And it looks like it'll be a rough spring for turdblossoms!

[Hoops59]

28. AndyA

Thanks Andy, Why are Bush, Rice, Cheney..et al. Not in a cage, guilty. Awaiting death by lethal injection? We are the only western country that does not prosecute war criminals. America will never be a great country until we try, convict, and execute the monsters responsible for Iraq. I repeat. MONSTERS!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. I wish we could bring back the fine old tradition,....

....of bringing eggs and tomatoes to a speech...

In the mean time, let us all enjoy a heaping helping of crème de la Kristol...

[johnnyreb]

34. Thanks for a great laugh!

Never seen that picture. So perfect! The sheer dignity of it all. ROFL!!!!!!!!!

[merrily]

30. Not always, but often, ya gotta love Massachusetts.

Maybe it's something in the water?

[smirkymonkey]

47. This has been my new home state for almost 9 months.

I must say, I have been quite pleased with them after relocating here after living in NYC.

[Sunlei]

31. All I can say is Thank You

[freshwest]

32. We're also waiting for the frog march:

Sad there were people in MA who wanted to listen to this sick toady bad enough to pay him, though. If it came out of the pockets of the students, they should ask for a refund this semester.

42. That day justice will be done.

33. Murderer" and "Terrorist" - Karl Rove Heckled Throughout Speech In Massachusetts

Not to throw a wet blanket on everyone parade. But giving legal cover by refusing to prosecute is in itself despicable.

[ChangeUp106]

35. Go UMass!

I'm a student at UMass. I walked by the protest last night. I was going to go in but I figured I wouldn't be able to deal with it.

[proud2BlibKansan]

36. Did this to Rove in Austin in 2006

One of my fondest memories.

[Plucketeer]

37. So GENUINELY

deserved, Mr. Rove!

[WinkyDink]

38. But let's not forget to PRAISE Rove and his "spirit" when he croaks!

[libodem]

39. FN Good!

Woo Hoo. I despise that worm.

[maindawg]

40. great Americans

these people are. Anytime any of these criminals show their face in public we must all stand up to them and point our fingers. They are murderers.

[WCGreen]

41. The Turd has blossomed...

[Marie Marie]

45. All those protestesr should have thrown their shoes towards him.

Notice I said "towards" not "at". I'm basically non-violent.

[Fearless]

48. I've lived in Amherst for almost a decade.

What a beautiful thing it is too.

[olddots]

51. the only place Turd maggot rove should be speaking is in an empty bar

crying in a warm beer and muttering to himself .

[Ken Burch]

53. Wouldn't it have been great if they'd written anti-Rove poems in the style of Emily Dickinson? n/t.

[pam4water]

55. Sweet!

[dickensknitter]

57. He should be in orange.

Every time I see him on TV I say that out loud.

[Jasana]

58. This man can never be heckled enough. nt
