So, has anyone heard/read anything from the Freepers re: Rove???

[Bleacher Creature]

I'm curious how they're going to try and talk themselves out of reality on this one.

[sui generis]

1. Valerie Plame was just a desk job

it's not like she was a real agent or anything, so it doesn't matter.

:sarcasm:

[Catshrink]

6. Minimize it...

[Oreo]

2. I haven't looked but I guarantee

they're saying "He didn't say her name" or "She wasn't undercover" or "everybody knew who she was" or "the left wing media is blowing this out of proportion"

did I miss anything?

[Dawgs]

11. My response to all of these would be...

'Then why did Rove contact the media? Why would such an important person do this if it's no big deal?'

I would love to see the answers for this question.

[tabasco]

3. Patriotic treason.

They can overlook a little treason as long as it's a republican.

The brownshirts are loyal to their party, not to the Nation.

[southernleftylady]

4. all the republicans that have talked about it that i know have said

that they don't excuse this at all... they said its a slimy thing to do and that he is too smart to NOT know what he was doing and that he should be fired....
but there are the republicans who are ignoring it too..
and one of the ones that did say it was wrong of him to do also said that "its perfect timing because now the republicans will give the Dem's. roves head on a platter and so the Dem's will give the rep. their Supreme court judges... so in 20 years they will still have to court and no one will remember who rove was"

i think she has a point

[fhqwhgads]

5. ooh...

...you think they'd do that? sneaky sneaky. they hand rove over knowing the difficulty of building a case against him, and figuring he won't do any time (and they're probably right). karl leaves the wh, freeing him up to run the campaign of whatever barely-human whackjob they can dig up for '08.

[jojo54]

8. A freep actually said something like that - have Rove resign but

let him stay on at no pay. See the webpage I posted below.

[sui generis]

9. but the other big issue is

what did the president know and when did he know it? Who else in his staff was aware of this, and for how long?

Rove is going to take one for the team, but the whole team is equally guilty. Whoever knew and DIDN'T say something is just as guilty.

There has to be more than just a grand jury investigation - we need a special prosecutor.

[SpiralHawk]

12. I don't think so

If we get Roves' head on a platter, the loyal opposition will be energized and emboldened. Meanwhile, BushCo has a majorly screwed-up budget, defiect, economy, environment, gas prices, and long-running fiascos in Iraq and Afghanistan, etc. etc., etc, to keep it -- rightfully -- tied in knots.

BushCo will sorely miss Rove, its former Minister of Propaganda

[jojo54]

7. Here's a snip by a lurking RAT?

From Xznins:<Rove has done nothing illegal. There was no discussion of covert operators. There was a discussion of Wilson's trip to check on uranium. He said that Wilson's wife authorized the trip and that she works at CIA.>

From MoodyBlu:'You may be correct but it does beg the question "Why didn't Rove just tell everyone what he said to whom when the story broke"?

I hope we don't find out that Rove lied to Bush about his involvement. Rationalize all you want but Rove's statements to Cooper were designed to discredit Wilson, not out his wife, and to the MSM this is worse than outing a nobody! They want blood and I see Rove going down for this.'

MoodyBlu

I love to laugh at the things they say. Go to this page for some very hilarious jargon:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1441086/posts

10. He neglects to mention that Rove said it to 6 different reporters

...all on background. 'Rove lied to Bush?' Hilarious; Bush or Cheney ordered it. Probably Cheney, IMHO.

[Bleacher Creature]

13. OK, I waited for my breakfast to digest and went over there.

My favorites:

To: BoBToMatoE

More relevant to this case: We need to shout loud, or at least persistently, not to look insane like the DUmmies, that it is Valarie Plame who needs to resign for sending her husband on a mission to cook intelligence data to fit their political ideology.

If what Plame and Wilson cooked up isn't illegal, it sure as shoot ought to be.

Rove is probably having a good laugh about it right now.

I smell a rope-a-dope here. Rove et.al. will wait 'til NYT buries themselves neck-deep then he'll start throwing the eggs.

The MSM is disgusting. This is nothing less than a public lynching. But we've seen this before from the MSM: any woman who said she'd been threatened or groped or raped by Clinton, any republican, anyone with the goods on Hill. Anyone with brains who doesn't march in lockstep with the PC MSM.
