Karl Rove slandered my nephew - a USAF Lt. Serving in Iraq & a Democrat

[GeorgeBushytail]

My nephew flies C-130's. He's on his second 3-month rotation to Iraq.

He's a life long Democrat who joined the Air Force because he loves his country and idolized my Dad, a very liberal activist Colonel in the AF.

He thinks the war is f**ked up but he took an oath to serve a certain number of years after leaving the Air Force Academy.

How many Democrats serve in our military?

Karl Rove owes each and every one of them a personal apology.

And then he should fire himself.

1. "he should fire himself"?

I think Hari-Kari is more in order.

3. How many Democrats serve in our Military?

A hell of a lot more than Republicans, you can take that to the bank. When it comes to defending the country that affords them so many freedoms, they're curiously AWOL, just like their president.

4. And the stupid governor of New York

doesn't think rove's remarks were divisive..

"I have absolutely no intention of asking him to apologize," Pataki said, adding that he didn't think Rove's remarks were divisive."

10. Pataki is so-o-o lame duck & Rove just kissed the NY Gov race goodbye

Eliot Spitzer will win and Bloomberg is in grave danger (unlike Pataki, Bloomberg is running again and he issued a disclaimer about Rove's comments being "divisive").

I'm sure the NY GOP really appreciated Rove's nailing their coffin shut for 2006.

5. Not to worry, the four star general has slapped Rove soundly!

He has let Karl know that he is saddened by the whole thing.
The offense inflicted on your nephew and other
democratic members serving in the military
has been justified by one of their own; the great Wes Clark
has forcefully informed Rove that he is sad about his insults
to our democratic military member and civilians...

Trolling threads is against DU rules, y'know.

And DO TELL US what has your favorite candidate said and done about this issue and DSM?? :eyes:

12. BeHereNow is a tough dude

So your candidate has more testosterone. Bully for him/her!

I support Clark. Tell me who you support.

6. If all Dem military refused to fight, what would happen?

No child of a Dem should sign up for the military until the Bushcos are out. That might take another 12 years.

[Dr Fate]

7. Until I hear different, George Bush ORDERED him to insult your nephew.

And that is how this needs to be framed- Rove was ORDERED by Bush to say that.
