11. If I`m remembering correctly
Rove once said something once about "creating your own reality." Mission accomplished.

15. Creating your own reality only works if you can convince others to believe it.
Rove can probably convince about 20% (the backwash), but that's about it.

7. That revisionist history bullshit doesn't work any more Rove.
But I have to assume they'll never stop trying to "sex up" his atrocious legacy.

It'll still be going on 50 years from now, just like Clenis envy.

44. Be fair. We still have the shreds of a democracy here.
Cheney would have killed and tortured just as many as those other guys if he'd been able to. Dammit! That constitution is just tying his hands!

41. I think more like Goebbels (granted, Rove would have to really diet)
Edited on Tue Nov-27-07 04:53 PM by Ishoutandscream2
The man knows to keep telling the big lie until all the goddamn lemmings start believing it. Uncle Karl is making Josef really proud.

On edit - you did mention Goebbels. We are definitely on the right page.

26. And newsweak are corporate
a$$holes to give this LIAR a megaphone.

There were more than a few stupids in congress that gave bushit the green light but even if they hadn't voted in the majority for the IWR bushites would have gone ahead with bombing the Shite outta Iraq.

And just think..even though, it will be Jan 20, 2009..we'll still have to read what that goebble's wannabe rove has to lie and catapult about.

32. Read, will you?
You are not going to believe this, well, actually you will... According to Karl Rove (on Charlie Rose), the Bush Administration did not want Congress to vote on the Iraq War resolution in the fall of 2002, because they thought it should not be done within the context of an election. Rove, you see, did not think the war vote should be "political".

Moreover, according to Rove, that "premature vote" led to many of the problems that cropped up in the Iraq War. Had Congress not pushed, he says, Bush could have spent more time assembling a coalition, and provided more time to the inspectors.

If you are like me, you have stopped reading/listening, and are rushing to get your anti-emetic.




Hardly sounds like a "megaphone" to me.

35. And Abrams quotes from Rove's apperance on Charlie Rose's show
Is Rose a "corporate a$$hole" as well?

You media haters need to understand something: the news media do not exist to reflect your views, but to create profit, like any other business. And, like most businesses, they do this partly by presenting dissenting views to appeal to a wide audience. For every Karl Rove, there's a Jonathan Alter; for every George Will, an Eleanor Clift. It's this way in most news magazines and newspapers, and it's the way it should be.

31. Awoe, Arrest, Charge, Indict, Impeach
STFU is not the best this bastard should do. Wake up my fellow Americans!!!! This is a treasonous bastard. Valerie Plame etc...lying to Fitz

Keep the pressure on and demand that Fitzmas begin at home with the treasonous Rove. IMPEACH. Fire the traitor Pelosi and all the brown-shirts that support her.

Ps. Iveryone in Jamaica wants to know why Chain-knee is not a DNR.
Time to rack these treasonous fools. Or, is America this corrupt??? Run my brothers and sisters. Run from this madness. Is Rove German or of that heritage??? If so, he learned best from the scum of the earth Hit-ler

Let us think about the Rt. Hon. Bob Nester Marley for a moment. What would he say to/of the rover???
Or have we forgotten the struggle!!! Is this how we freed Nelson Mandella and South Africa, to see the USA put under total dictatorship by these treasonous bastards??? Bush and Cheney would have kept the status quo in South Africa. Wake up serfs!!!!they are bleeding our purses, enslaving or minds, creating their reality oblivious of the truth, locking down entire cities under curfews....the Rt. Leonard Percival Howell call them the Columbia Island Developers in the 1930's. Yes the drug baron Bush and his zionist fiends have been trampling the law for a long while. Weep Jesse James. Father Time and the hour of decision is now!!!Watch them shoot your youth down in the streets and stay asleep.

I would term you all party brown-shirts and traitors if you think these criminals cannot be stopped.

The justice department has surely disintegrated with justice eyes wide open.

Karma is a bitch..I remember the law of nature, "Sowing vs. Reaping" Bob would say..Let InI strum Redemption songs....Songs of Freedom
Old pirates yes they rob I....sold I to the merchant ships.......minutes after they took I from the bottomless pit....But I head was held strong by the hands of the Almighty INI
....Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
none but ourselves can free our minds.....Have no fear for atomic energy cuz none of dem can't stop dis yah time.

"Love and Light"
