Rove: Obama 'beyond the pale' on campaign remarks

WASHINGTON – Republican political strategist Karl Rove says President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats have gone "beyond the pale" for suggesting that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce may be using foreign contributions to finance advertising against Democratic congressional candidates.

In a speech last week, Obama said groups receiving foreign funds are spending money to influence American elections.

Rove says Democrats have no evidence that the chamber is violating the law by using foreign funds to pay for its campaign activities. The chamber doesn't disclose its donors, and Rove said the chamber doesn't use foreign funds for U.S. politics.

Rove said on "Fox News Sunday" that the charges are baseless and added, "How dare the president do this."

Does Karl Rove work for the Chamber of Commerce? How the hell does he know where they get their money?

As Sam Stein points out:

The fact remains, however, that a resolution to the debate is fairly obvious. Simply disclosing the names of who is donating to each of these institutions would clear the air and validate either Rove or the White House. But with a campaign finance law stuck in congressional limbo and hordes of potential donations at stake in this election, transparency has instead been replaced by innuendo.

1. What else is new? Rove is a fat, pompous, lying gasbag

who is feigning outrage.

[impik]

2. How dare the president tell the truth???

[Frustratedlady]

3. #1 - who cares what Karl Rove things, and #2 - he's such an expert in

money laundering, he probably thinks he's covered his tracks.

Why doesn't he and his ilk just fade into the sunset?

4. They're very defensive

because they know the allegations are true.

[karynnj]

11. Or they know they can't prove that it is not true

There is a problem when the lack of transparency allows this to be possible. What they don't like is that the more they bring it up the more it brings up that no one knows where the money comes from - but large corporations - some with foreign ownership are very likely the source. Then when asked why the sources aren't required to be revealed (as the donations to candidates are)- the answer is the Republicans en masse blocked the Disclose Act.

5. oh dear ....

[kentuck]

6. How in the hell does Karl Rove know what the Chamber of Commerce...

is getting from overseas?? Did they tell him? I doubt it. He is talking out of his ass.

Republican/GOP to NEOCON to Grifter Party

The once Republican/Conservative Party of Abe Lincoln is long gone and has been slowly and methodically replaced by a group of Grifters such as Rove, Armey, the Bush Family Inc., Palin, McCain, Limbaugh, Beck, etc., etc., etc., etc. Not a one of them is capable of performing an honest days work but they have become extremely prosperous and powerful by selling their hate to the lazy and ignorant populace. They make the old traveling snake-oil salesmen of yore, look like pikers. There is a new Party in town and they are called GRIFTERS.

Looking at the bios of the local candidates, I am amazed how many Rep Grifters on the ballot have only a high school diploma and very little if any community service or political activity. It is as though Sarah Palin and John McCain morphed and spread their Grifter seed throughout our Nation.

7. He is the worst POS to ever stick his face on TV

every time I see this scum I want to stick a sock of s**t in his mouth. He has the nerve to question OUR president when he helped the wimpy cowboy ruined this country. I wish someone could get close enough to put a pair of handcuffs on this skank and he couldn't get the off. It is the worst kind of shame he is not sitting in a cell in a federal prison along with the biggest baddest Big old Bubba going. Wouldn't that be wonderful.

[phleshdef]

8. Of course he is. Rove knows a valid and possibly effective line of attack when he sees one.

[ObamaKerryDem]

10. If Karl is pissed off, the POTUS must have been exactly on point..

..don't like it so much when the tables are turned on you, do you Turdblossom?

:D

[jimlup]

12. Its the pot calling the kettle black ...

Only worse. Rove has a lot of gale being as much of hypocrite as he is. What a deeply sick and flawed individual individual he is.

[OregonBlue]

13. It must be working or KKKarl wouldn't be so upset. Next they'll want to know who his corporate donor

are. We can't have that now can we?

[Tatiana]

14. Must have landed a direct hit. After all the $hit with ACORN, I think this is just desserts.

The Chamber of Commerce should be heavily scrutinized because they have fought any and all measures to disclose exactly where their funding comes from. It's also nice to make the Republicans squeal... Think Progress, then the various blogs, evening television programs, even the President calling them out... Now the NYT editorial -- this is how you push back.

15. Squeel Karl squeel! It must smart. nt

[COLGATE4]

16. Fuck Karl Rove. And the scrofulous elephant he rode in on. nt

[pnwmom]

17. It is perfectly appropriate to put pressure on the Chamber to disclose its donors.

Freedom of speech and everything.

[treestar]

18. Well Rove says they are not using foreign funds, so they must

not be. :sarcasm:

[SeattleGirl]

19. Oh, poor poor KKKarl.

[Politics_Guy25]

20. I hate to be crude but in this case I will

Karl Rove is a pompous fat asshole who needs to go straight to hell. He is the most evil bastard to ever show his face in American politics. I wish him a life full of nothing but pain and misery.

As far as this whole issue, I could care less what he thinks and he needs to shut the fuck up.

Go eat shit and Die Karl.

[BlueIdaho]

21. Fuck Karl Rove

He's just one more paid stooge willing to sell his country down the river to keep his filthy rich masters in power.

By the way Karl, where does all your stinking cash come from?

[Dawson Leery]

22. Rove is admitting that the Chamber of Commerce is being funded by foreign interests?!?

Karl has become too defensive on this issue. Rove loves to go on the attack, not play defense. President Obama has stuck a sensitive nerve on this matter. Being the President, the people listen to Obama.

[Phx_Dem]

23. I love it when we piss off Rove. If affirms that we're doing something right.

Kiss our collective asses, Karl.

:*

[Dr Morbius]

24. Yes indeed.

Any sentence that begins with "Karl Rove is upset..." is most likely GREAT news for America.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. no evidence? He worried!

[wisteria]

26. I have to wonder why he is so thin skinned about these comments?

He never feigned outrage before over something Democrats said in the past. And this outrage coming from the turd himself. What a joke.

[BrklynLiberal]

27. Karl who????????

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[jillan]

28. I get the feeling that Rove was born upset.
