Karl Rove: The King of Dirt

KARL ROVE: THE KING OF DIRT


By Wayne Madsen.

December 5, 2003 100 PDT (FTW) -- After many years as a privacy advocate and author of privacy books, I now reluctantly believe that there's one citizen of the United States who is not entitled to any privacy or solitude, but should be subjected to a relentless campaign of intimidation, harassment, and knavery. In other words, patriotic Americans who believe in fair play should -- within the bounds of the law -- make this person's life a living hell.

The target for such a campaign is Karl Rove, George W. Bush's political Svengali, and the chief instigator of character assassination campaigns against those who challenge the policies of the Bush administration. Democrats, progressives and the liberally inclined must learn to fight fire with fire, Rove tactics against Rove tactics. This evil practitioner of political chicanery earned his stripes first as an apprentice of Richard Nixon's dirty trickster, Donald Segretti. Rove then went on to hone and refine his duplicitous craft under Republican National Committee chairmen George H. W. Bush, Lee Atwater, and, finally, George W. Bush (who affectionately and alternately calls Rove his "boy genius" and "turd blossom").

After trashing the personal character of former Texas Democratic Governors Mark White and Ann Richards, Texas Democratic Representative Lloyd Doggett, and Arizona Republican Senator John McCain, Rove now uses his Felix the Cat-like bag of dirty tricks to assassinate the characters of noble and non-political men and women. It is clearly time to take action against Rove, and give this maniac a taste of his own bitter medicine.

Over the years, Rove has relied on the planting of bogus stories in the media, production of counterfeit documents, the theft of campaign materials and internal documents, production of false witnesses, electronic eavesdropping, misuse of government resources, unethical political polling techniques, intimidation of minority voters, and "whispering campaigns" to advance the sordid agenda of the neo-conservative, extreme right wing of the Republican Party.

Rove reached his outrage limit with me when Iraq war veteran and prisoner of war Private Jessica Lynch accused the Bush administration and the neo-con Pentagon of hyping her capture for blatant political purposes....cont'd

1. "turd blossom"

Well,that about sums it up.

10. I don't know about the "blossom" part of it

But Rove sure as hell is a turd in my book!

:evilgrin:

2. SIGN ME UP!

I'll dedicate every waking moment to making this assholes life hell! How do we start?

[Manix]

3. I always thought this piece of shit was overated......his many blunders

are always overlooked, however his main forte is dirty tricks and
"fight fire with fire" I say.

[Skittles]

8. I'm disgusted when people call him a "genuis"

this man is a common thug without a conscience; there is nothing admirable about him.

4. This was posted earlier

on an earlier thread but recieved little attention from DUers. Thanks Dover. Glad it's back. Articled says Al Gore and Gray Davis have also been the reciepient of Rove's dirty treatment:

"Was it a coincidence that former Vice President Al Gore (the de jure President of the United States) was subjected twice to special baggage searches at airports during a campaign swing to Wisconsin? No, that was again Rove at work. Just like when Rove and ex-Orkin exterminator Tom DeLay misused Department of Homeland Security, Federal Aviation Administration, and FBI personnel in a search for absent members of the Texas House of Representatives. Then there was the story that leaked to the press about California Governor Gray Davis physically abusing a female staff member. Gray Davis? The man who was likened to Casper Milquetoast, all of a sudden acting like Arnold Schwarzenegger! More Rove fingerprints -- the Davis story appeared as Schwarzenegger was fending off allegations of groping females over his long movie career."

and Wayne Madsen had better be carefeul because:

" I have become aware of journalistic colleagues being mugged (without any theft involved) on the streets of Washington and London. Could these have been warnings to those who have written extensively about the misdeeds of the Bush cabal? Possibly."

Karl Rove is no better than Sadam or any third world dictator. :mad:

5. and now Dean is under the gun, his sealed papers being under threat of

being "unsealed"

me thinks a fishing expedition to do damage to Dean via whatever they can find in the sealed papers.

and where is Bushies papers?

[Gin]

6. If Dean's papers were an issue started by Rove...the lawsuit by Clayman

may have helped...Dean wants a judge to review each record and decide which ones should be made public....so..that trap didn't work for crazee karl.

7. In the article Rove's Hooveresque "After Hours" antics are mentioned, any

one have the Washington Times link, or know anything about it? From Madsen's article:

"Unless, that is, Rove is deep-sixed as a matter of political necessity to shore up Bush's Christian Right base. Washington is awash with stories, including those from the normally pro-Bush conservative Washington Times group, of Rove's Hooveresque off-hours antics (as in J. Edgar Hoover). Gee, Karl, how are you going to square that with the good Reverends Robertson and Falwell?"

[donhakman]

9. thank you

[freesqueeze]

11. Stay Above the Fray

I disagree with the 'Fighting Fire w/Fire' argument. I feel that instead of fighting back with the same techniques, democrats should focus on pointing out the lack of ethical foundation that these attacks indicate on the part of the GOP as a whole. Make the fact that Rove still has a job example one of what sleaze balls the GOP has become.

[wabeewoman]

12. Yeah, that has really worked.

Kinda like, just count the votes! That is the problem with democrats in congress. They believe in the same old rules of behavior but they don't when you are dealing with lying, cheating, 'do anything to win' thugs. Sometimes you gotta fight fire with fire!
