1. Wow, big, big, big rec!

Everyone needs to hear this story.

[Agony]

2. This is nothing new for Rove either..

He did the same thing in Texas when he destroyed the political careers of Ag commissioner Mike Moeller and senior administrator Pete McRae. They did jail time as well.

3. I thought I heard Fox News hired him recently. Is that true and if they did is he hosting? n/t

[Sonnenschein]

4. Don't worry. Obama is going wave his "unite" and "hope" wand and Karl Rove

will be moved to tears.

5. leave

[Agony]

6. Whatever

[inremembrance]

7. thanks for the humor.

Obama, and I'm afraid many of his supporters, do make me smile...I was once so naive.. and dismissive of anyone who didn't see the "truth" of how I saw the world....

8. Is it purely coincidence

that the 2 Obama bashers in this thread have like 0.02 posts between them?

Maybe, or maybe that's unfair on my part. I just always find these things to be interesting, like when a brand new member's first posts were defending Glenn Beck and ripping on "socialized medicine". I called her motives into question and she insisted she was here to stay. Strangely, I never saw her post again.

But who knows, it could be different this time, since there are many months to go to rip on Obama.

At any rate, it's insulting to assume that ALL Obama supporters are "naive". To paint each and every supporter of ANY candidate with such a broad bush is ridiculous, and says more about the poster than anything.

And look, it's not that you disagree with the choice of a particular candidate, it's *how* you disagree. Being condescending and dismissive (with a bad bonus of overgeneralizing) isn't likely to convince anyone to accept your premise (unless they already believe it to begin with).

[Sonnenschein]

10. Why is it insulting to call Obama's supporter naive (which I never did)

but not insulting to suggest that Hillary's supporter are cynics. People would ask you if you have experience if you apply for a job as cashier. So somehow people are cynics, if they doubt Obama's qualification? What a double standard.

[ihavenobias]

11. It was implied

don't you think?

[rurallib]

14. Because this segment had nothing to do with Obama until you twisted

it to take a totally undeserved shot at him. As for me please be gone and take your odd vendetta elsewhere.

[theFrankFactor]

9. Great Segment Cenk eom

[navarth]

12. get 'em Cenk!!

I can't wait until tomorrow. Gotta see 60 minutes.

k & r for the Young Turks

[CherylK]

15. I think they will talk more about this on today's show

I can't wait!

[sasquatch]

13. Why is it that men like MLK, JFK, and RFK wind up murdered while men like Rove die of natural causes
