Rove:We’re losing the middle class.They’re becoming richer, more prosperous.Let’s not kid ourselves.

[Emit]

Rove, was keynote speaker in Reno, NV last night at Directions 2012 economic forum presented by The Chamber.

“The idea that the U.S. is more unequal on income is wrong,” Rove said. “We’re losing the middle class. They’re becoming richer, more prosperous. Let’s not kid ourselves. We’re not becoming France under Louis XIV.”

1. Right. Just look at "the math"!

[xxqqqzme]

2. What decade was he

referencing?

[elleng]

3. He said this in Nevada, where ?75%? mortgages under water?

rover is SOOOOO with it!

[Emit]

7. Yes, and apparently, he received a standing ovation.

I live in bizzaro world, indeed. One guy they interviewed on teevee ranted and raved about all the 'facts' Rove could pull just 'off the top of his head!'

[elleng]

10. Sure, 'facts' off the top of his naked head!

[Generic Brad]

17. Pulling them "out of his ass" is more like it

68% of Karl's facts are made up on the spot - just like this statistic.

[Emit]

18. Hahahaha!

oh... that was a good one!

[joshcryer]

15. Not just that, but the highest unemployment rate in the entire country.

The highest.

[elleng]

22. Right.

P.O.S.

[BeyondGeography]

4. La, La, La. La, La, La.

[Swede]

5. So that's why there are so many empty houses across America.

They've all moved to mansions on the hill.

[fascisthunter]

6. you lost the middle class because you destroyed them

You are a little piece of shit fascist nutcase.. traitor to the US!

[madokie]

36. and should be given a fair trial on that charge

then strung up by the neck until he pissses and shits his pants
He is a traitor to our democracy and has been for a long time

My apologies to anyone if I offended them.
peace

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Do not tell me what he is smoking.

[fascisthunter]

13. he doesn't need drugs to say the shit he does

[RKP5637]

9. Has to be lead in the water ...

[msongs]

11. chamber of commerce philosophy in several sentences. toxic group nt

[lunatica]

12. Rove is still an asshole

Sometimes, not often, I wonder if he still kisses george duvya bush's ass, just so he feels relevant.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Wow. Still the bald-faced liar, I see.

[gkhouston]

16. Does he imagine that only Democratic voters have lost jobs, health insurance, and houses?

This sort of tone-deaf pronouncement isn't going to go over well with many voters.

[Johonny]

41. It goes over well with those that still vote republican

the small margin that think they'd have a job if only all those foreigners went home and all the others would stop sucking off the government etc...

This stuff works with the kool aid drinkers. There's a reason conservatives only talk to conservatives. The true believers keep buying the same excuses, the number of true believers just gets more selective with time.

[ProSense]

19. Rove:We’re losing the middle class....

...They’re (not buying our bullshit, becoming angry). Let’s not kid ourselves (we need a new stratergery).

[riderinthestorm]

20. The master at "black is white, up is down, 2 legs good, 4 legs bad...."

Rove has mastered realpolitick-speak whereby propaganda is catapulted inversely....

Disgusting that anyone even falls for it anymore, yet demonstrative of sheeple and their ability to suspend reality.

[bhikkhu]

21. So, is he giving Obama credit for all this new-found wealth?

...and they try to spin the president as "out of touch"?!

[Emit]

37. Good point

they can't really have it both ways

[Canuckistanian]

23. I.... don't even know how to respond to that

[Blue Owl]

24. Fuck Karl's sick, twisted vision of "utopia"

n/t

[Old and In the Way]

25. Now that's a winning republican message.

I hope they spend $50MM in ads telling the American consumer/taxpayer this fascinating tale.

[gulliver]

26. People listen to the "Architect" of the George W. Bush Administration why? nt

[Zoeisright]

27. God, I hate that fat, lying toad.

n/t

[gateley]

28. My God. nt

[Motown_Johnny]

29. .

[Common Sense Party]

30. How many business hours are left until his indictment?

Aren't we THERE yet?

[DCKit]

31. The rest of the article is even better.

The loss of jobs was inevitable, nobody's fault, but Obama is to blame for not creating a gazillion jobs out of thin air.

Don't call U.S. Kkkarl, we'll call you.

[spanone]

32. let's not kid ourselves, rove is the enemy of democracy

[JHB]

33. When rove says "Lets not kid ourselves"...

...grab a tarp. Great steaming loads of "kidding" are about to be shoveled in your direction. Vigorously.

[justiceischeap]

34. He's right, we are losing the middle class but not because of prosperity

They're becoming that poor segment of the population that Mittens doesn't care about. And if some of them are lucky enough to become more prosperous, hmmm, funny, Mittens wouldn't care about them either. That doesn't leave a lot of people for out-of-touch Mittens to care about, does it?

Rove is an a**-hat.

[woo me with science]

35. They live on their own planet.

They really do.

I really wish it were possible to do an enforced "Trading Places" scenario with these arrogant fucks.

[tanyev]

38. Yes, except for the majority that are getting poorer.

What a jerk.

[librechik]

39. "so everyone vote to lower taxes on the wealthy because you are all going to be rich!"

Rove promoting the prevailing psychosis among Repubs, I see

[tnvoter]

40. DNC should use the soundbite for a commercial

showing how the Republicans are talking about of both sides of their mouths

in one breath: where are the jobs
in another breath: we're becoming richer and more prosperous -- we're France under Louis XIV

what dumbasses
