Karl Rove Slams Fox News Hosts For Bringing Up Anti-Rove Protesters (VIDEO)

Fox News contributor Karl Rove directed some unfriendly fire at the hosts of "Fox and Friends" this weekend when the show's anchors decided to ask Rove to respond to protesters who disrupted the former top Bush adviser's book tour.

"This is sad, you people are recycling stuff that happened three to four weeks ago, this is a small blemish on what was a great trip," Rove said when asked about members of the group Code Pink who showed up at a March 30 book signing in Beverly Hills, Calif., called Rove a "war criminal" and brandished handcuffs.

"It was a blemish," he insisted, adding that there were no such incidents at other stops on his book tour.

"Please don't paint this as much a sign of anything," he continued. "These are sort of sad and pathetic people ... Can you imagine being some kind of nut wandering around with handcuffs? Let's not give them any more attention."

The Code Pink protesters have proven to be a thorn in Rove's side at several stops on the tour to promote his book "Courage and Consequence."

The same Code Pink protester who disrupted the Beverly Hills signing also showed up at a recent Rove event in Las Vegas. Code Pink activists are also planning to be a presence at an April 22 book signing with rove In Minneapolis.

Here's a clip of Rove's appearance on "Fox and Friends" on Sunday:

People just want Rove to tell the truth and that is all the protesters are asking. Rove is on Fox News ten times a day and also has his book out. But he won't answer questions about the U.S. attorney story or about his role in outing Valerie Plame. If he answers up, many some of the protesters will go away.

Among other things, his book doesn't address these issues at all:

No offence to turds in general, but Karl Rove is one that needs to be double flushed - keep your plunger handy.

Rove needs to crawl back into the rat hole he came from. That a university would actually hire him to teach speaks volumes to me. About what that university is all about and supports. Most shamed historical figures have the decency to retire to some cabin in the mountains never to be heard from again. Not Rove. Should he have the right to speak? Absolutely, all Americans have that right. Should his "legions" be allowed to hear and defend him? Of coarse. Even Richard Nixon though had some level of decency after his fall. Carl Rove? Not a chance.

why is Rove still relevant? As an advisor he is a dramatic failure by nearly any definition. BushCo was an abysmal failure both for conservatives and all other groups as well. They started two offensive wars and were responsible for the biggest increase in federal spending in US history (until now of course).

Rove DOES like to control the narrative.

How DARE Fox interviewers go off his script full of softball questions down the middle of the plate?

I love how he claims that Code Pink only showed up at one event, when, in fact, they showed up at several events and they continue to hound him where ever he goes.

If the pink crowd are malcontents what might Rove call the teabaggers with their AK 47's. The only word that comes to mind is "INSANE".
