Rove smears two veterans

[BobcatJH]

It takes a real man to insult two veterans, two men who have fought for this country, for backing down from a battle. From Reuters:

Rove, one of Washington's most powerful and polarizing figures who is under investigation in the leak of a CIA covert operative's name, chided Democrats for floating the idea of troop reductions in Iraq.

He specifically targeted Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha.

"Like too many Democrats it strikes me they are ready to give the green light to go to war, but when it gets tough, they fall back of that party's old platform of cutting and running. They may be with you for the first few bullets but they won't be there for the last tough battles," he said.

This, of course, coming from a man who wasn't there for any bullets, nor was he there for any battles.

1. They gave the green light ...

because of his damn lies!

[Arkansas Granny]

2. A disgusting comment from a disgusting man.

:puke:

[AlinPA]

3. So what did Kerry and Murtha say? Nothing. They let that slime get

away with it.

[sutz12]

5. If they did say something, do you think we'd hear it?

Fucking press would black it out.

[AlinPA]

10. Yes, probably that would happen.

[blm]

11. Kerry's spokesman ripped off a great reply - there';s a thread on it.

15. The reply, from that thread

Below is a statement from Kerry’s chief spokesperson, David Wade:


“The closest Karl Rove ever came to combat was these last months spent worrying his cellmates might rough him up in prison. This porcine political operative can't cut and run from the truth any longer. When it came to Iraq, this Administration chose to cut and run from sound intelligence and good diplomacy, cut and run from the best military advice, cut and run from their responsibility to give our troops body armor, and in November, Americans will cut and run from this Republican Congress.”

4. It was Nixon who cut and ran in Vietnam..

6. Yooo KKK,! You cowardly unpatriotic POS

I am one of those "too many Democrats" and I would be thrilled to "strike" you if the law would give me a green light.

7. Rove is desperate to take the focus off the Republican War

And their own version of the Vietnam War. The American people know that this was Bush's War and Rove's War and Rumsfeld's War. Rove can't spin that away, he can't concoct a smear big enough to hide the lies and incompetence that led to an unecessary war. Rove can't wash away the blood of 18,000 wounded or 2,500 dead with another smear. Nothing can wash that away.

8. This is also politics of distraction. Rove is trying to fill more airtime.

9. The closest Karl Rove ever came to combat," worrying his cellmates

12. "they are ready to give the green light to go to war"

:rofl:

He probably is just sour because he misses Wee Cowboy, his fuckbuddy.

[blm]

13. It's obvious they fear Kerry and Murtha's withdrawal plans will catch on

with congress and the public ..........sooooooo......

So OUR course of action must be to call our congresspeople and our local papers and demand support for these withdrawal plans.

14. Maybe Pussyface has something to say to Hagel too

Perhaps that filthy scumbag has something to say to another vet, Chuck Hagel.

Hagel has been vocal about the war's unsuccessful history. Perhaps we could start a nice little battle between them.
