Karl Rove battles protesters at Beverly Hills book-signing
March 30, 2010

A group of protesters arrived at the Saban Theatre, where Rove was signing "Courage and Consequences: My Life As a Conservative In The Fight" to an audience of about 100 people.

The incident was captured on tape by CBS 2 News. The video shows protesters coming up to Rove, calling him a war criminal, among other things.

But Rove fought back. "With all due respect, this goes to show the totalitarianism of the left. They don't believe in dialogue, they don't believe in the 1st Amendment," he told the crowd."

At one point, Rove told a protester, "Get the heck out of here.... This man is a lunatic."

Rove was eventually forced to leave the stage, and those who came to hear him speak did not get their books signed.

5. Look for Fox News

to brand these people terrorists and draw a false equivalency with blowing up cops. Over the next few days they'll talk this up to make it seem worse. No less than three times will they be accused of violating his freedom of speech. Stupid people will believe it.

6. Why couldn't they do that to Palin?

I like the Orlando incident the best, cars directed to park in a tow away zone, all cars were towed away. Tow company made a tidy little sum.

7. It would make me glad if this happened more frequently to the right wingers
