Karl Rove heckled, called 'war criminal' at book event

Former White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove was heckled and branded a 'war criminal' at a book signing in Beverly Hills, California, Monday night.

Rove, who served as senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to former President George W. Bush, was at the Saban Theater to discuss his new book, "Courage and Consequences: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight," to an audience of about 100 people who paid up to $40 to hear him.
But the audience members were unable to get their copies of the book signed after Rove was shouted down and forced to leave the stage, reported CNN affiliate KCAL-TV.

The event was heated from the onset as several anti-war protesters interrupted Rove's talk to accuse him and his administration of lying to Americans about the threat Iraq posed to the United States - and thus, taking the country into war.

Rove called one heckler a "lunatic." He told another to "get the heck out here."

4. The title of the book should be: How I lied a country into war.

5. Welcome to the rest of your miserable life, Herr Roverer

May protestors hound you for the rest of your days. You've brought it on entirely by yourself by hitching your star to the neocons' war for oil & empire, so you share culpability. Feel fortunate that it's only protestors; if I had my way, it would be law enforcement officers come to frog-march your smarmy ass off to the hoosegow in preparation for extradition to The Hague, where you would face a tribunal for war crimes.

6. good - thank you to the protesters

[Stuart G]

7. Agreed..

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Good !

[yellowcanine]

9. 'Rove called one heckler a "lunatic."' POT KETTLE BLACK ALERT!

Being called a lunatic by Karl Rove is like being called a child abuser by Jeffrey Dahmer.

10. I just wonder how FoxNews will cover this

Oh wait, they won't. Never mind.

13. Nice to hear -- however, while the left should be responding strongly, we shouldn't adopt the

ways of the T-baggers and right wing violent --

[crikkett]

17. It was Code Pink n/t

[defendandprotect]

24. Yes, I've heard that since . . . Okay by me . . .

but, if you've read any of the threads here, a few would like to treat

them as they treat us.

Any violence or aggression mimicking them would be a mistake --

Wouldn't want to see this accelerate!

[crikkett]

31. I agree 100%

:thumbsup:

[EFerrari]

21. If he comes here, I'm finding some handcuffs and doing the same thing.

Let him be hounded the rest of his miserable life for all the damage he's done. Seriously. I don't have a violent bone in my body but whew, it would be so satisfying to confront this little prick.

[NecklyTyler]

14. I just love it when this happens.

Rove needs to be shouted down at every opportunity

[goclark]

15. I heard Jay Leno let Rove have it last night!

My cousin said it was wonderful, the audience didn't appreciate him one bit and Leno didn't either.

[Gin]

16. may every venue for him be chaos, and may he be frustrated and

unhappy every day for the rest of his miserable life.

[goclark]

18. He is a money hungry dirty dog

that has no shame.

[unkachuck]

19. now....

....I want all you namby-pamby, sissy, wimpy liberals to once again tell me what's wrong with Code Pink?

....I heard they were trying to make a citizen arrest of a war criminal....shit, even the almighty Obama wouldn't dare try that....

....Code Pink is a group of super-patriots who deserve the admiration and respect of every single American....

[patrice]

20. The truth is good.

[Raster]

22. Where's the "we shouldn't heckle rove cause it makes us look bad" crowd?

They're usually good for a laugh. Reality check: NO ONE looks bad next to kkkarl rove---slimy, pig-fucking, son-of-a-bitch. And while I'm at it, thank you Code Pink. They put their butts on the line all the time and prove that a woman in a pink tutu is not to be trifled with. They exhibit more courage than most of their detractors.

[Daemonaquila]

23. Just wait.

They're all over the other Rove vs. Code Pink thread, proving they haven't read the First Amendment. As soon as this post makes the Top 5, they'll be on it like flies on Karl.

[sabrina 1]

25. Lol ~ 'a woman in a pink tutu is not to be trifled with'!

Don't know if everyone saw the video, but it was a thing of beauty. The little weasel called someone a 'lunatic'. Then he whined like a baby about people not being 'willing to discuss things reasonably' ~ :rofl:

And then, he ran away, as one expect a cowardly, chickenhawk, war-criminal to do.

[Dr.Phool]

26. They were up all night.

Disrupting other threads on the topic.

[AllyCat]

30. Upthread. But not like the other thread.

[AllyCat]

28. Like.
