Boo HOO! Rove: Limbaugh took my comments out of context
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/10/rove-limbaugh-takes-context/

Two top conservatives are having a disagreement and it's playing out in the media.

Karl Rove said Sunday that Rush Limbaugh had taken his comment that the Tea Party was "not sophisticated" out of context.

In an interview published online Tuesday, Rove told Der Spiegel that the Tea Party lacks sophistication and is not a "well-organized, coherent, ideologically motivated and conservative revolution."

"Why would Karl be saying this, Rush?" a listener asked Limbaugh Wednesday. "Why doesn't Karl learn to keep his mouth shut?"

4. apparently, Karl Rove is not crazy enough for the Tea Party. That's hard to believe.

7. What would Limbaugh know about sophistication?
Those two deserve each other, diced fine, roasted to a crisp and served up on a pupu platter.

8. What's playing out is the battle of the egos of two people who have the delusion
that each is the "most powerful" Republican in the party.

10. Not even Karl Freakin' Rove has the gumption to tell Limbaugh to bite his ass
What the fuck Rove, he called you a bloviating egotist. I'd tell him off for you, if I was the sort who'd point out Pigboy needs wiener pills. If I was low enough to note that he needs these pills in the Dominican Republic, where kiddie trade tourists are thick on the ground. Unfortunately, I'm not. But you are, you craven lickspittle.

11. I couldn't stand it and switched channels.
It doesn't seem right to watch this dickhead witout a fair chance to at least heckle him. I watched nature shows instead. I'm much happier hearing getting slimeball quotes second-hand like this from people who are less likely to attack their own TV.

14. There is a fundamental difference in their approaches.
Rush knows that as long as he puts up a good front and asserts himself as a lone authority that can be trusted, he can mislead his followers to the desired outcome.

Rove, on the other hand, has proven that their followers don't even deserve that consideration, and seeks to drive people to the desired outcome through fear, disinformation, and tapping into their latent racism and homosexuality.

Therefore, Rove sees it as inadvisable and even dangerous to actually engage the tea-partiers. Why engage them when they can be much more cheaply and dependably frightened into doing the GOP's bidding at the polls? Engaging the tea partiers inevitably leads to the selection of incompetent fools like Sarah Palin and Christine O'Donnell as their leaders, while simply cranking up the terror meter on the weekend before the election produces similar turnout and votes for more evil, calculating Republicans.

15. As if it was out of the ordinary.



PimpleButt built his entire sleazy career out of "taking comments out of context".


Next whine please.




"WAAAH!! No fair!!"
