'Angry Left Driving Democrats,' Republican Chairman Says

(CNSNews.com) - The investigation into a White House leak is proceeding; the White House and Karl Rove are cooperating with investigators; and "the angry Left should not drive the Democrat Party," Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman said on Friday.

"The party of Truman and JFK and FDR ought to be about higher things than smearing somebody's good name," Mehlman said in an interview on Fox & Friends.

We ought to let the investigation go forward. I don't think we should be commenting on a pending investigation."

Mehlman said press reports about Karl Rove's role in the leak, rather than implicate him, tend to exonerate him by showing that "Karl Rove wasn't the leaker; he was the recipient of the information, not the provider."

1. Try the shoe on for 30 seconds Mr. Mehlman.

Oh, I forgot...you already wore that shoe when Bill Clinton was in office. :eyes:

[Fenris]

2. Karl Rove does not have, nor has he ever had, a good name.

That man has been a shit all of his life.

[still_one]

3. mehlman is a jerk

first of all it was the CIA who referred this to the justice department, and the attorney general who called for a special prosecutor

NOT ONE DEMOCRAT IN THAT bunch

I think the actions of rove speak for themselves

4. What's wrong with being the Angry Left ?

You're damn right I'm angry and Left!

[GreenPartyVoter]

8. And we're pround of it!

[Armstead]

5. I wish

Anger should be driving the Democrats.

[mattclearing]

6. Democrat is not an adjective, Ken.

Maybe when he starts referring to our Party by its actual name, I'll give a shit what he says.

If someone mocked me everytime they mentioned my name, I'd be angry too.

[DanCa]

7. But the gop can smear John Kerry and Max Clealand

And anyone else who has the integrity to stand up to the poor widdle wight wingers. You know thats why these people dont like Michael Moore. He has the courage to stand up to them too.

[mmonk]

9. Sticks and stones

Sounds like he is the one angry.

[DanCa]

12. Sticks we dont need no stinking sticks :D

[Pirate Smile]

10. I heard the new name we've been assigned when he was lying on CNN

the other day. I find it rather amusing. Oh, no, wrong emotion - it makes me ANGRY!!!

[fob]

11. FUCK YOU Ken! The insane right should not drive the Republick party!

[applegrove]

13. Projecting their pattern of bad habits on their opponents.

[gratuitous]

14. I guess I'd rather be "angry"

Than "insane" or "greedy," Mr. Mehlman. But I suppose there's a reason you're not angry, even though we've lost nearly 2,000 military, killed tens of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans, poured hundreds of billions of dollars into an imperial boondoggle, and all to make ourselves less safe from terrorists than before.

But you know all this, Mr. Mehlman. I know you do, because you're not a congenital idiot. The larger question is why doesn't this make you angry?

[Tamarin]

15. A perfectly normal reaction to the *Snarling Right*

Oh, and Ken, did you know people on the Snarling Right are promoting death to any news people who give Joe Wilson air/speaking time?

[meganmonkey]

16. What could it be that has made us so angry?

:eyes:

[fasttense]

17. If there was any hope left that reasonable people with

progressive tendencies would ever vote for a repuke again he, Rove and Chaney have made sure it will never happen. They have insulted us so regularly that even if overnight they became reasonable thinking people, no one with the slightest progressive tendencies would ever vote for them. They are burning their bridges and turning off millions of possible voters.

Liberal, Democrat, Feminism, and tolerance are not dirty words. They are proud words which accurately describe me and a lot of American voters. Find someone else to play name calling games with you backstreet bullies because none of you are going to remain in power following the next election.

[zbdent]

18. Is Mehlman going to denounce that fanatical

extreme religious right that's driving the Repukes?

19. we are angry when someone commits treason
