Tea Party Pisses On Rove: “Who died and made Karl Rove queen for a day?”

Rove in essence is reasserting himself as kingmaker in a party that has suffered considerable electoral defeats partly due to the Bush legacy. Through this new venture Rove hopes to be able to vet candidates for public office and, if they do not meet his satisfaction, disqualify them.

Not surprisingly, the Tea Party is furious.

Tea Party groups, talk-radio hosts and conservative activists, seeing the new group as an attempt to thwart the will of conservative primary voters, reacted furiously in the media, on conservative websites and, of course, on Twitter, where the backlash has its own hashtag: #CrushRove.

“Who died and made Karl Rove queen for a day?” barked radio talker Mark Levin.
