Rove Fox News opinion piece - bemoans Obama using a straw man
President Barack Obama set up another straw man last week in his speech to the National Governors Association when he said "I don't think anybody does any good when public employees are denigrated or vilified or their rights are infringed upon."

Who is denigrating or vilifying public employees? Clearly Mr. Obama was slyly suggesting that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was. But clearly he is not. The mild-mannered Wisconsin chief executive has been, well, mild-mannered and polite, restrained in tone and rhetoric. Rather than have the courage to accuse Mr. Walker by name of denigrating or vilifying the public unions as they have denigrated and vilified Mr. Walker, Mr. Obama preferred a cheap political hit-and-run.

1. In all fairness, Karl Rove knows a thing or two about using a straw man.
He's also a divisive, cynical prick who didn't mind playing a huge role in creating the political morass we have today. I really despise that motherfucker, and his opinions are meaningless.

5. Actually, you should have begun with "In all UNfairness ..."
otherwise, your comments are spot on.
