Democrats Call on Rove to Apologize for Sept. 11 Comments

Published: Jun 23, 2005

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democrats are demanding that White House adviser Karl Rove immediately retract and apologize for comments that liberals responded to the Sept. 11 terrorist strikes by wanting to "prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers."
"The one thing New York has had since Sept. 11 is unity," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. "To inject politics into this and to defame a large number of people" is outrageous, he said. "It's not what New York and America is all about."

Rove, Bush's chief political adviser, said in a speech Wednesday that "liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers." Conservatives, he said in the speech to the New York state Conservative Party just a few miles north of Ground Zero, "saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war."

Rove said the Democratic Party made the mistake of calling for "moderation and restraint" after the terrorist attacks.

3. When are the little boys in Washington going to grow up

8. Good for Schumer- that's exactly what needs to be done.

Now let's see if the corprorate media is half as willing to make Rove's comments the subject of debate as they were Durbin's.

[iconoclastic cat]

10. Like he cares.

[MuseRider]

11. Since when is

"moderation and restraint" a bad thing for a government? I can certainly think of some officials I would like to moderate and restrain.

12. Dig up the VIDEO of ALL the Congresspeople singing "God Bless America"

on the Capitol steps! Play it over and over and over and over. What about the freakin' PATRIOT ACT????? What about the signing of the IWR?????? What about the BILLIONS and BILLIONS of $$$$$$ Democrats have voted for for the War of Terror????? KKKROVE is delusional!

[Norquist Nemesis]

14. WooHoo!!!! HIT THEM HARD!

Demand a full apology from the whole administration! Rove speaks for the WH and directly into Bush's ear.

15. Like cheney apologized to Senator

Leahy when he told him to go "fuck yourself" on the Senate floor.

No, he went on fauxsux to say ..that it "felt good"..course cheney is one of the most vile, stupid, creations known to inhabit the Earth.

[Catfight]

16. the conservative media will bury this with something else. nt
