Rove says Obama is awfully thin on experience and issues on Face the Nation

[Freida5]

He goes on to say that he lost a Congressional race in Chicago a few years ago and in his 2 years in the Senate has the most liberal voting record.

The truck is just beginning to back up

[zanne]

1. And I hope we don't let it happen without a good fight. nt

[Captain Hilts]

2. Let's all stop being played by right-wing creeps like this guy - NOW. nt

[Occam Bandage]

3. Oh my God a Republican is bashing a Democrat. Quick, let's

all try to figure out if it's straightforward, if it's reverse psychology, or if it's double-reverse psychology!

[saltpoint]

4. That's pretty rich from Rove, considering he worked for a guy

with the brains of a gnat.

[Wetzelbill]

6. I will not stand by and let you insult

all the good gnats of this world like that, OC. :)

[saltpoint]

15. LOL! Hi, Wetzelbill.

Ok, I'll be contrite, and apologize.

Global gnats, I spoke in a cavalier and reckless manner about your collective intelligence and smeared you by comparing you on the food scale to George W. Bush. It was uncalled for and I humbly apologize.

[Olney Blue]

57. A response from the gnats: Gnattering nabombs of negativity- we

accept your apology.

[saltpoint]

61. Thank you and bless you, gracious gnats!

Now go out and buzz your asses off!

[Wetzelbill]

5. coming from Bush's Brain that's a bold statement

to say about anybody. Bush was a drunk and a life-long failure who never really did anything most of his life. And the stuff that he did was as the emptiest empty suit of all-time. He may have quit drinking but he carried his failure into public office, and instead of doing nothing, he actually did a whole lot of catastrophic damage to our country. So yeah, Karl should STFU.

[LaurenG]

7. Rove says?

Rove said GW won fair and square and that Saddam had WMD's too, he'll go after Hillary next.

Did he at least back his own candidate?

[RoadRage]

8. Geez, did he say the sky was blue, and grass is green too?

I'm just wondering why this is even news at all? You mean the republicans are going to pick up Clinton's talking points if they have to campaign against him? Shocking.. i think Obama may already have a few rebuttals for those...

[Olney Blue]

9. Who let Rove out of his cage?

[eShirl]

10. does anyone still give a crap what he says?

[Me.]

11. And Why Does Rove Have Credibility?

The success of cardboard thin *, his ability to give the reins of power to the Cons for the next 20 years, he had the numbers?

He's so irrelevant he's nearly invisible. Why would anyone listen to one word he has to say?

[zulchzulu]

12. Well gee, I always trust what KKKarl Rove says...

Actually, Obama scares the shit out of the RNC. I know someone who goes to RNC batcave meetings and they are quite perturbed that Hillary and Bill may not be their easy solution to unite their party.

KKKarl will have a hard time holding Johnny McCain't up with the weight of the disastrous Iraq War around his neck. KKKarl knows that McCain't is Bob Dole 2.0.

As for Obama, he has eight years as state Senator and four years as senator. That's four more years of legislative experience than Hillary. Add that Obama is indeed a "liberal" and people are ready for that over some has-been, stale, over-cooked charlaten.

[BeyondGeography]

13. Then the Republicans should be happy to run against him, right?

[billbuckhead]

28. RepuKKKes are chomping their teeth to tear into the Obama "movement"

They've been holding their fire, but the Obama "movement" is such low hanging fruit for them , they just can't resist.

[rodeodance]

49. and since it is built on happy day illusions--the Repugs will blow it down like the Wolf

did with the straw house.

[Colobo]

14. Rove is afraid of Obama...

[saltpoint]

16. And properly so. If Obama is the nominee, the Democratic star ascends

and shines and the Republican "gains" of recent years, including much of Rove's filthy back-door politics, gets flushed down the tank.

[Colobo]

26. Absolutely. Republicans are realizing they don't know how to fight Obama.

[saltpoint]

35. Agree. Hi, Katzenkavalier. Rove can work his dark magic when there's

a still-life set of circumstances. Obama's campaign is fluid and constantly moving. It's not an established order, so Rovian undermining is much less possible.

[kennetha]

18. Don't think so

I've come to think that Obama will be shredded in a general election. He'll lose the Reagan democrats to McCain the way he's losing them to Hillary

[Colobo]

25. Obama will shred McCain in the general

McCain will make Hillary look like a flip-flopper, like a pandered with no principles. "Sen. Clinton, now you are against the war you voted for?"

With that line, McCain wins in November.

[Olney Blue]

32. Clinton's response: "I am against the war lasting 100 years."

I think Hillary can handle gramps just fine. So can Obama.

[GarbagemanLB]

42. the one she voted to authorize.

There is no comparison as to which of the two Democratic candidates hold the high ground on the Iraq issue.

[Olney Blue]

47. It's Bush's war, and he was reselected in 2004. To the rest if the world,

no one in the U.S. has the "high ground"

[GarbagemanLB]

48. So those who voted for it take no responsibility? What a load of crap.

[rodeodance]

50. Obama FUNDED the war!!

[GarbagemanLB]

53. It was the best option in a mess Clinton helped get us into.

[Olney Blue]

52. I didn't say that. I'm saying that we as a country are culpable.

And that is how the world sees us.

[Cha]

67. hilary didn't stand up to bush..Obama

did..and therein lies the HUGE difference between Obama and hilary.

Viva La Difference!

[Eurobabe]

22. Uh-huh, they don't want to run against him

especially with the old geezer McLame.

[TomClash]

17. Like W knew anything

Being Governor of Texas is a joke.

Who cares what Rove thinks?

[K Gardner]

19. We don't usually Quote KKKarl Rove here.. but I guess now we're grasping at straws. Unbelievable. I

guess the TRUCK has indeed arrived at DU.

[JVS]

20. Oh, so are we supposed to listen to Rove about who makes a good Democrat?

[DesEtoiles]

21. well Bush is STILL thin on issues...

[Canuckistanian]

23. The same guy who said Democrats forced the Iraq war?

Or more specifically, Tom Daschle?

Rove has about the same track record as Dick Morris in predicting *anything*.

Rove can't even correctly explain the past.

[TwilightGardener]

24. O Noez!!!

:scared:

[elizm]

27. Who gives a sh-- what Karl Rove says. nt

[Pirate Smile]

29. Bush attacked Obama as well. Oh, no. I had no idea they would do this!

"Fox News Sunday: President Bush weighed in on the race defending McCain’s conservative credentials (though said he’s got some convincing to do and he’d be glad to help him do that). Brushed off the issues where the two differ, said have to look at candidate’s principles, “heart.” Slammed Obama on foreign policy, said voters “don’t know what he believes in.” Defended B. Clinton’s campaigning for his wife and campaign tactics. Also had kind words for Huckabee, discussed war, legacy, waterboarding, economy."


Karl and Georgie are going after Obama and defending the Clintons.

I bet Obama just hates that :evilgrin:

[cooolandrew]

30. ,,,,,

[CJCRANE]

31. F*** R***

[jedr]

33. all from the man who gave us G.W. bush;

G.W.'s resume was about as thin as they come. Gov. of Texas ( part time job), never been outside the U.S. ( we bomb anyone who doesn't live like we do in Texas), failed businessman. Ex alcoholic , Military deserter, ..thanks Karl ..now go to Hell !

[bigdarryl]

34. Rove is full of shit he isn't the genius they make him out to be in 2006 he said...

I have looked at the numbers for the Senate and Congressional races and I see the republicans winning this midterm election.

[dcindian]

36. He needs to get his own material

Looks like KKKarl Rove is taking a page from the Hillary play book.

[Seabiscuit]

37. Rove should be in an isolation cell in prison somewhere, and unavailable for comment about anything.

[rodeodance]

51. but he is not and he will be 'OUT THERE"--whether we like it or not.

[ProSense]

68. He'll be out there being praised by Bill and emulated by Hillary

Days after the 2004 election, at the Clinton library inaugural, Bill pulled Rove aside and said, "Hey, you did a marvelous job, it was just marvelous what you did," Clinton told Rove

Hillary campaign's penchant for Rovian tactics: Robo Calls.

[peoli]

38. no experience?! Shit! Where have I heard this before?! This news will end Obama for sure!

[still_one]

39. why the hell isn't that guy in jail? /nt

[tridim]

40. Why is CBS using Faux Newz pundits now?

[Arugula Latte]

41. BWA HA HA! Let's all listen to Karl Rove! We know how honest he is!

:rofl:

This is a joke, right?

[Cha]

43. Obama wins in the primary states

yesterday and face the nation has fucking rove on to give his sewer analysis..

[my3boyz]

44. Man...Hillary supporters are desperate if they are quoting Karl Rove

to discredit Obama. Pathetic. Then again Hillary's strategist is the equivalent to Karl Rove...........

[Thrill]

45. No surprise. They want to face Hillary. Same stuff we hear from Bill Bennett on CNN

I wonder why?

[sniffa]

46. Calm down

I know he kicked serious fucking ass last night, but that's no reason to panic.

[stillcool]

56. Karl Rove and

the big bad republicans are coming!! Quick roll over...play dead! Not this time.

edit to add..my new favorite pic...

[ZinZen]

54. Yeah, because Rove never lies about anything

Why oh why is anyone listening to that sludge of poo?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

55. WE'RE DOOOOOMED!!!1!!1!!!1ELEVEN

:eyes:

[Nailzberg]

58. Rove has a lifelong commitment to progressives and the vibrancy and health of the Democratic Party

One can only assume he has good intentions here.

[VolcanoJen]

59. I couldn't stop laughing at Karl while watching Face the Nation.

I'm like, "Good Gawd this asshole is washed up. And a face for radio, to boot!"

He was hysterical, out of touch, and moronic. If anyone on DU is still afraid of Uncle Karl, they really could stand a reality check. How's that "Permanent Republican Majority" thing working out, for example?

[blogslut]

60. LOL

Karl is a Hillary fan. Who'da thunk it?

Enjoy your shiny RW endorsements, Ms. Clinton.

[Hill_YesWeWill]

62. NO, I will not take into consideration anything uttered by him, this post is deeply offensive to me

as a democrat, how dare you post any opinion of his.

Even if he is right, I don't want to hear these opinions credited to Him as if he is a credible source of information for our party

[bklyncowgirl]

63. Sounds like Karl's been reading Hillary's talking points. nt

[CK_John]

64. Rove always gives hints when he has dirt, Congressional election run, hint. .hint. n/t

[Avalux]

65. Translation: "We don't want to face Obama in the GE".

Don't you people know when Rove speaks, he means the opposite of what he says?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

66. Correct of course.
