"Karl Rove has screwed the American people."
The Screwing of America and The Stain on The Flag --by Kin O'Brien

Karl Rove has screwed the American people. When Bill Clinton was condemned for getting a famous stain on a famous blue dress, the GOP went after him for over two years, crying "Impeachment! Clinton is a liar! IMPEACH!!!"

Well, now. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Karl Rove has outed a CIA agent and risked the lives of said agent as well as all her contacts in the world. His action, with the enthusiastic compliance of a couple of so-called unbiased news reporters, has made our country more vulnerable to terrorism. His behavior is beyond disgusting and criminal...it is UNPATRIOTIC. Karl Rove has possibly committed an act of treason.

At the very least, he has broken the law and compromised our national security. And...lies? Shall we count all the lies from this administration? How about the lies regarding nonexistent WMD that promoted an illegal invasion and destruction of a country that had never done anything against the American people? Yes, those are the lies that Joseph Wilson exposed to the world, lies that were corroborated by the infamous Downing Street Memo and largely ignored by the UNPATRIOTIC American media, who are nothing more than a GOP mouthpiece that has been criminally complicit in allowing Bush and his minions to deceive the American people, and to cover-up the numerous crimes and skullduggery of government and military officialdom and their US corporate shadows.

2. Yup! Time for American Revolution #2, since the machines that count...

the 'votes' are owned by those who are determined to remain in power. (Both the 2000 and 2004 presidential 'elections' were stolen.) Hence, voting is no longer an option, and the GOP-owned media does not cover our protests...

4. careful
They are willing and able to commit genocide against their own people as well as imprison them en masse. It would be best to attempt to use more intelligent methods than walking enfiladed into the line of their fire.

There is a reason they're doing racial and ideological profiling, illegal surveillance, and building enormous Guantanamo-style prisons all over the place, to date largely used as temporary holding areas for WTO demonstrators. They were hedging their bets against civil disturbances in the event their charades got exposed years ago.

5. Good points, but unless we reclaim the voting technology, these...
...'people' (and I use that term very loosely) are going to continue their illegitimate reign of terror.

6. not just the technology
First, the voting system is exploitable by means of gerrymandering, the spoiler effect, and so on.

Second, psyops, propaganda, and media access.

3. Rove thinks of all dems and liberals as The Enemy
Edited on Sat Jul-16-05 12:59 PM by librechik
he doesn't know how to unite all sides in a country to work for progress together, and he wouldn't want to. That's why this "war" has failed; they did it while maintaining a campaign mindset, which worked againstr all of our interests.

A united US would NOT support the Bush gang's extremist values. These fascisti would never get elected in a United America. (not that they got elected in a divided America either! Sometimes crime pays!)

Thinking of us as the enemy is how he has justified his crimes. Rove and accomplices may not be psychopaths, but they are certainly the wrong people to run a government!

7. Hear hear

We should go around and tell people and say what Karl Rove did and call for Bush's impeachment. Anybody who doesn't go along with it is a traitor to the country.
