Group offers $100,000 for ‘information leading to the arrest and conviction of Karl Rove’

Amid the launch of a new campaign to encourage greater scrutiny of the right-wing "American Crossroads" groups known to many as the "shadow RNC," an activist organization declared that it would give $100,000 to any person who comes forward with "information leading to the arrest and conviction of Karl Rove."

The campaign is being conducted by American Crossroads Watch, an offshoot of Velvet Revolution, which promotes issues key to many progressives activists and represents the political will of dozens of organizations and unions nation-wide.

Their newly launched Web site declares:

Karl Rove created American Crossroads to continue his 40-year history of unfairly manipulating elections on behalf of oligarchs. He joined with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, a cabal of corporate barons, and other CEOs that want Big Business to control our elections and our government.

Rove’s group plans to amass more than $50 million from companies making secret donations, and spend that money to influence elections and buy candidates who will act on behalf of those companies and their deregulatory policies. These same polices brought us Enron, the collapse of Wall Street banks, Bernie Madoff, Jack Abramoff, the Gulf oil spill, the recent coal mining disasters, and the corporate controlled Supreme Court.

1. That would be magnificent.

Karl would probably not see jail time,but association with him would be political suicide.

2. I'd like a list of these secret donors

Perhaps we'll see some whistleblowers come out to name them.

8. How about a carefully crafted whisper campaign

that Rove is turning states evidence against his bosses? If that results in Rove getting the Mike Connell retirement plan, would it be worth 50 grand?

TPM & Josh Marshall said today: Rove Pummeled in Lord o' Flies Style Smackdown
