Raving Over Rove
The left is enraged after Karl Rove struck a nerve in their weak spines.
Karl Rove came to the heart of Manhattan last night to rhapsodize about the decline of liberalism in politics, saying Democrats responded weakly to Sept. 11 and had placed American troops in greater danger by criticizing their actions."Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Mr. Rove, the senior political adviser to President Bush, said at a fund-raiser in Midtown for the Conservative Party of New York State.
Citing calls by progressive groups to respond carefully to the attacks, Mr. Rove said to the applause of several hundred audience members, "I don't know about you, but moderation and restraint is not what I felt when I watched the twin towers crumble to the ground, a side of the Pentagon destroyed, and almost 3,000 of our fellow citizens perish in flames and rubble."
One has to wonder how rather lucid comments by Mr. Rove conjures up so much foaming at the mouth by the Democrats, yet, they couldn't be so much as bothered by Senator Durbin calling our troops "Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime - Pol Pot or others."
What Rove has done with his comment, in rather political genius, if you will, is exposing the two-faced nature of the Democrats, while simultaneously telling it like it is. Rove has criticized merely their flawed knee-jerk response to most issues, "therapy and understanding," as he so aptly put it. Could you please show me evidence to the contrary?
The fact is, you Democrats, you just hate that Karl Rove has you pegged, spot on. We conservatives saw the crumbling of the Twin Towers as an act war, and we supported the diligent response of our Republican administration. You Democrats saw the fall of Twin Towers, first as an act of war, but as soon as we sought retribution and went on the offensive, it was not war anymore. No, we had to understand why they attacked us. Democratic party leaders spoke out against the war on terror, seeking diplomacy with terrorists who would--without pause--strap bombs onto their own children for the sake of killing Americans.
Rove criticizes their policy and the Democrats are outraged. Yet for 5 years now, we listened to a litany of accusations and insults against President Bush, our troops, and our country that far surpass anything Karl Rove said or implied about the Democrats today. The left wing of this country have been endlessly shouting ghastly things about President Bush, while other left wing minions go further, burning effigies of the President and calling him Hitler. Now, we have Senator Durbin calling our troops nazis. The left is more outraged by the alleged mistreatment of terrorists at Guantanamo Bay than Americans beheaded, charred and murdered at the hands of terrorists. And they are outraged at Karl Rove?
They dish it (in heaping portions), but they just can't take it. Perhaps some of the left will be so outraged, they will suggest to Rove to seek "therapy and understanding." Or perhaps, it is the left that needs therapy.
Michelle Malkin and Blogs For Bush have round ups of responses...
