Karl Rove: "CBS Is Now Sort Of The National Enquirer Of Network News"

Karl Rove appeared on today's premiere of Fox News' new election show, "America's Election HQ." At the tail end of his segment he addressed last night's controversial "60 Minutes" piece, which suggested that Rove worked through a Republican operative in Alabama to dig up dirt on the Governor there. Rove flatly denied the allegations and called CBS the "National Enquirer of network news," claiming that CBS never even called him for comment on the story.

Can anyone tell me who is going to protect and cover-up the crimes of Rove and his enablers when a Democratic administration is in the White House? How are they going to deal with the accountability of the legal arena vs. the impunity of their self-protecting political bunker?

[reactionrynihilist]

He isn't in jail yet. My bet is that the new president will either be too busy, or will do the same bullshit that Bill Clinton did when he let the Iran Contra scandal people free.

If you keep letting people get away with murder they are just going to keep doing it.

[naschkatze]

I think Obama will not let them get away scott free. In his victory speech in Houston after his Wisconsin win, he decried Scooter Libby type justice. We can't get preoccupied with punishing them because we have to start turning this country around, but if we have 8 years in which to do it, well, "the wheels of heaven grind slow, but they grind exceedingly small".

[naturesway]

a super majority in congress is the first step. Plus, good dems, not those cross dressers like Lieberman.

[research]

Bring back the "fairness doctrine" That Raygun killed. Reverse the consolidation of Media that Bill Clinton allowed.

[blueshift]

the entire MSM is the national enquirer.

[wolfgangmo]

I agree

KARL ROVE PLAN 2008

REPUBLICANS CROSSED AND VOTED FOR OBAMA IN THE PRIMARIES!
TO STOP HILLARY CLINTON!

THEY THINK MANY WILL VOTES AGAINST A BLACK MAN FOR PRESIDENT IN NOVEMBER!

[LoRiseAntlers]

Wow.With you all caps yelling and odd placement of exclamation points screams out the fact you just might be on to something there.

Actually,if you speak like you type,you had better carry a spit-towel around with you,nut case.

[icemama]

You're on to something, dad. How else can you explain Democratic turnout in the primaries out-numbering the Republicans by 3 to 1, more in some areas?

Check out the profiles of some of the posters here. Not only do they post very often, but it seems as though they are on someone's payroll with one agenda, and one agenda only---that is to incite the Democrats and play mind games with us in hopes of persuading us to despise each other and both our candidates.

I'm sure some change their usernames often, but the speech pattern is there. The written word is like a fingerprint. Too much of the same, and the red flags wave. Be observant. Soon you'll be picking them out too.

But the savvy voter of today is not the gullible, fearful American of 2000 & 2004. No more wool over our eyes, chums. A Democrat will be President. We're on a mission here. Save your slimy words and move out of the way! Take Rove with ya!

I assume, Karl, that you will follow the thought to its conclusion by equating on air Fox News and TASS. You will, Karl, right?

Thanks Carl! That means a great deal coming from the Joseph Goebbels of Republican propaganda!

"Karl Rove denies allegations & says he never met Simpson"

When contacted for a comment, Bart disagreed, said "I called him Turd Blossom before way before that other guy."

[peonyharp]

:) I was thinking of the same character.

[rkx13]

When your best friend calls you a turd blossom you known something is wrong. This parasite makes his living destroying people. twisting the truth and fixing elections. What is going to take to stop this one person crime wave.
What he did to the governor is a crime

[BWonka]

And Karl is one very BIG reason why the Rethuglican party is gasping for air and grasping at... well, air.

Go away, KKKarl - you are a vile, disgusting, self-centered loser. Just like your butt-buddy Bu$h.

[katdaddy]

I live in Huntsville AL and it's a known fact that Rove has been involved in the politics is this state for a long time.

[Kundera]

So if we find another person who lives in Huntsville AL and they disagree with you, does that make it a draw?

[katdaddy]

Find two who live in Huntsville, post here and disagree about Rove and I'll concede. That is I'll concede to Rove not being photographed walking hand in hand with top republicans in the state.

[nazirmo]

Obama's words in an article on cnn.com "The way I will respond to it is with the truth: that I owe everything I am to this country," he said. Obama said it was a speech about his love for this country that put him in the national spotlight. He shot down the idea that failing to put his hand over his heart during the national anthem makes him unpatriotic. "If that were the case, that would disqualify about three-quarters of the people who have ever gone to a football game or baseball game." If it was Hillary giving such a response voters would be up in arms and Hillary would lose even the last remaining vote. http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/24/obama.patriotism/index.html So by Obama's theory the three-quarters of the people can also become Presidents.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to see a Obama-Hillary dream ticket that can destroy the Republicans. Only the dumbest electorate would put a Republican in the White House this time. They have killed the surplus and the economy is in in shambles.

[Naithom]

Obama-Hillary with Edwards as AG!

[Opus007]

Hillary would not work as Obamas vp. I like the idea of Edwards as AG.

If a Republican gets the White House this time we will know for sure that it wasn't the electorate that did it!

[lungfish]

and Karl is, sort of the Herman Goebbels of the Bush Administration...

or the sick little hamster in PNACs butt.

Answer your subpeona, you traitor, your country calls you front and center!!

And by the way, CBS called you and was referred to your lawyers you skanky little liar.

[Oldtimer]

FOX broadcasting is what should be shut down.
It is totally unfair and totally unbalanced.
Rove never gets grilled. I'm still pissed
Chalrlie Rose let him off easy.

[Kundera]

shut down? I guess it's only bad if Bush ignores the Constitution.

[incontempt]

No Worries they will be waking up and finding themselves outsourced soon.

McCarthy is to Roy Cohen as Karl Rove is to Rush Limbaugh

[priscianusjr]

I don't follow your reasoning. Roy Cohen was MccCarthy's lawyer; Rush Limbaugh is not Karl Rove's lawyer.
However, I do see a valid analogy: Karl Rove and whoever his lawyer is, thinking that they can take on CBS Broadcasting reminds me of McCarthy and Cohen thinking they could take on the U.S. Army. Karl, you already fucked Dan Rather over, and as a result he's suing CBS for $70 million.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20874051/

I think this time CBS knows who's really full of shit. They'll crush you like the cockroach that you are.

[editor]

Yeah right; I can just see the shining halo above the head of this filthy, hateful, lying sack of evil.

[joedirtfromaz]

Karl,
You're going to get pinched. We just have to wait until your president is gone so that you won't be pardoned.

Wait and see how many "operatives" have a change of heart and decide not to protect you any longer.

You've used a lot of people to help you do your dirty deeds and they will not be
compliant forever.

Just as it is the duty of every American, you will have to answer a subpoena.

[buddhistMonkey]

Prison won't be kind to a chubby little dumpling like Rove.

[Collielady]

We can only hope that Rove's operatives will have a change of heart. Offer a few key witnesses immunity and watch them defect to save their cowardly asses. Then we can get to the bottom of the Bush cabal's crimes.

The public is finally on to the Republican party's dirty tricks. If they continue to side with Rove and his ilk they'll find it difficult to recover. If the Democrats are smart they'll ride this horse a long, long way... into the next election and far beyond.
