Karl Rove Must Be Exposed
I've been googling and reading articles about this ass all evening. Here's what I've learned that I didn't know before - his father walked out on his family and his mother committed suicide shortly thereafter. He was considered a nuisance in school and was obsessed with politics - bounced around through several schools but never finished college. As a student, he stole letterhead out of the office of a local Democratic candidate and sent out invitations with it inviting people to an evening of "free food, free booze and girls" at the candidate's headquarters. Lots of people showed up, wondered where the party was and embarrassed the hell out of the candidate. This was just the start of Rove's dirty tricks. He's only perfected them over the years and his goal is to change the face of American history forever. Don't think he'll go away after the boy king is done; his ego won't allow it. I can see him teaming up with the likes of Arnold Schwartzenegger for the ultimate victory.

Karl Rove is the enemy. This man does not deserve to live a private life and does not deserve to live in peace. Somehow, we must find a way to expose the maestro, drag him out of his hiding place and expose his ugliness to the public. How, I don't know. I just know it must be done before the next election.

You seem to know what you're talking about, so I take your praise rather highly. Thanks.

4. That's what I always said.
Take down Rove, and you take down Bush. If it weren't for the spin concoted by the Turd Blossom, these fuckers would be out in the open.

6. Any idea why he's so successful?
It just mystifies me he hasn't seemed to fuck up over the years.

14. Probably because he doesn't leave a trail
that leads back to him personally. Rather, it'll be someone else who actually *does* the deed.

Or, he'll do something that people wouldn't think he'd be responsible for, but still screws the opponent. Like when he bugged his own office back in '86.

13. I agree he likes to laugh under a plane

That crazy stunt shows how silly he really is, every thing else is fake.

He is a bully and that's why I would love to keep him guessing about what we know about the FRAUD stuff.

He has got to be worried because he knows what his silent elves put in place.

What happened to him with PLAME, let's start asking a lot of questions about it.

9. He's the master liar
in the political arena, he's rewarded for it. Maybe he's so successful because what he does is so incredulous.

I would go blind on the spot.

10. For Christ Sakes Sparosnare...
I was screaming this VERY THING last spring in this forum! I'm sure it's buried in the archives! Rove is the "soft underbelly" of this whole bunch of scum...now it may be too late! No-one even responded back then! :wtf:

15. Sorry
I wasn't paying that much attention then, others probably weren't either. My fault. The election is over and it's pretty clear what's happened AGAIN. Rove needs to be stopped, period. It's NOT too late. How can we work together to remove him from major policy decisions in the WH?

20. We need to expose..
Some way...Some how the fraud that was perpetrated...not only in this past election...but 2000 also! I remember that fat potato headed fuck going on TV in 2000 saying that "this ridiculous recount stuff is going to stop." Shortly after that the hired thugs invaded the building where the recount was going on and intimadated the folks doing the recount enough to get them to stop!

23. His own tactics must be used against him
Problem is, I don't know anyone that evil. I don't think there are any Democrats that evil.

11. The Atlantic Monthly article about Rove a couple of months ago
made me sick to my stomach. He has ruined too many lives with his smear tactics. He needs to be stopped.

22. Here's a snip from the Guardian article:
The incident marked the genesis of the Rove-Bush axis and it was in Washington that Rove met the younger Bush. He fell, politically speaking, in love. "Huge amounts of charisma, swagger, cowboy boots, flight jacket, wonderful smile, just charisma - you know, wow," Rove recalled years later. In 1977, Rove was sent to Texas, in theory to run a political action committee, but according to one Texan political consultant who knew him at the time, "It was really to baby-sit Bush back when Bush was drinking".

While doing that, Rove discovered his true calling. He set up a "direct mail" operation, Rove + Company , pinpointing potential Republican voters and sending them fundraising or voter registration letters written specifically to appeal to the target audience.

At this time, he married Valerie Wainright, a wealthy Houston woman from the Bush social circle, but the marriage could not withstand his consuming preoccupation with politics.(He married his second wife, Darby, in 1986.)

Read the whole thing, it's well worth it -

25. Finally
someone agrees with me. I keep sending info but usually receive sarcastic comments in return. He does need to be removed. The black box info is important but I think Rove is close to that. He has done damage to people for years, it is time he receives his Karma.

29. I think many of us are finally getting it -
and what must be done about it. Only think left to do is figure out HOW.

26. He is a sick, twisted fucker with an easily understood pathology...
father denied parentage and left family
mother committed suicide
he has a disabled child
He feels that he has been dealt bad breaks, so he strikes out.
Still I have no pity for him. The Poison Eunuch should be struck down.

27. He will be exposed for what he is.
I believe that deep down, he is an angry, sad little man...who does not know the meaning of love, therefore he has no mercy.

(and yes, as a pastor, I have to admit that he, too, is "a sinner for whom Christ died" as my dear ol' dad says.) How I wish that he'd have a little heart-to-heart talk with Chuck Colson. Remember him? He was evil-incarnate in the Nixon administration. But Chuck came to see the error of his ways, and he HAS done good things since, in his work with prison ministry. Makes one wonder...

Don't get me wrong: I dislike KKKarl even more than Osama - at least Osama has principles (admittedly misguided, but at least principles). His destruction is coming. People like him ALWAYS fall.

28. I hope so
He is definitely a godless man; full of hate and anger. Did he coin the phrase compassionate conservative? LOL.

More information there on his background, plus links to articles about him.
