When the thugs complain about Dems being mean, show 'em this typical Rove

[blm]

spiel. One he has no doubt employed day after day for over 30 years.

Why Are These Men Laughing?
Ron Suskind
Esquire, January 2003

....
Eventually, I met with Rove. I arrived at his office a few minutesearly, just in time to witness the Rove Treatment, which, like LBJ’s famous browbeating style, is becoming legend but is seldom reported.
Rove’s assistant, Susan Ralston, said he’d be just a minute. She’s very nice, witty and polite. Over her shoulder was a small back room where a few young men were toiling away. I squeezed into a chair near the open door to Rove’s modest chamber, my back against his doorframe.

Inside, Rove was talking to an aide about some political stratagem in some state that had gone awry and a political operative who had displeased him. I paid it no mind and reviewed a jotted list of
questions I hoped to ask. But after a moment, it was like ignoring a tornado flinging parked cars. "We will fuck him. Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him!"

As a reporter, you get around—curse words, anger, passionate intensity are not notable events—but the ferocity, the bellicosity, the violent imputations were, well, shocking. This went on without a break for a minute or two. Then the aide slipped out looking a bit ashen, and Rove, his face ruddy from the exertions of the past few moments, looked at me
and smiled a gentle, Clarence-the-Angel smile. "Come on in." And I did.

2. "We will ruin him"...

that is the scariest statement because that is how they wish to deal with anyone who dares to disagree with them. :scared:

3. Like messing with a Mafia don...

Their attitude throughout has been that to disagree with them is to bring ruin, particularly if someone makes a public display of "disloyalty."

When former Treasury Sec. O'Neill went on TV to flog his new book and said, "I'm old and rich, what can they do to me?" I thought: "Two words: Valerie Plame."

Sure enough, the very next day he was making public retractions. I seriously have to wonder which of his grandchildren they had someone hold over a hotel balcony, or if he simply found a horse's head in his bed the next morning.

:scared: :scared: :scared: And that's how they want people to be.
