1. Why does anyone (here) listen to what Karl Rove has to say?

[Bleacher Creature]

16. Why limit the statement to "here"? n/t

[YOY]

2. F*** KKKarl

He needs to spend the rest of his life soaking up dog shit residual in a dog shit factory.

3. hmm

I didn't realize that WV was an enclave
for the Klan, though it's true that Byrd
was an Old South racist .. so I shouldn't
be surprised that Rove is bringing this
up.

What's interesting is that I believe that
the GOP is more aligned with promoting
hate and racial divisions than the Dem
party.. and I think that Rove has a hidden
agenda in tying WV and Byrd to the Klan.

4. The KKK thinks Karl Rove has an agenda.

They would be correct.

5. Why isn't he in jail /nt

[hisownpetard]

18. That's exactly what I think every time I see him. Why is this man not in jail?

:nuke:

[still_one]

19. I feel the same anger as you visual represents /nt

[rhett o rick]

6. ATTENTION: Karl fires first shot in race war. The republican/corporatist cabal

final hope is to divide this nation by race. I believe Karl will do all he can to light a fire under the race issue. A Watts type riot and John McCain is the next president.

[treestar]

7. Is he then saying that the KKK has influence on West Va voters?

Isn't that rather insulting?

Who listens to the KKK any more?

[Limelight]

8. Racist idiots...

The Klan ain't dead by the way because hatred doesn't die quickly.

9. Apparently some do

and the media as well. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x131862"> Some wonderful comments from West Virginia Democrats.

12. And when you consider that Indiana was the hq for the klan...

and Obama didn't do badly there, his arguement falls apart.

17. On election night in Indiana, Chuck Todd mentioned that from watching the results come in he could

practically draw a diagonal line through Indiana which showed the voting area south of the line voting like Appalachia AND the voting area north of the line voting like the Midwest - Illinois (rural, not Chicago), Iowa, etc. Appalachia definitely seems to have its own voting pattern.

I've definitely learned a lot re voting demographics, regions, etc. over the course of this Primary season.

14. Rove is an idiot. WV'ers aren't going to like that at all

of course this was meant only to bring up a talk radio talking point (wow is he an idiot) but telling people that the KKK is an "entry point" into their political system is just stupid.

[bow-tie]

21. Code to the "uneducated"

"Klan Up".

[barack the house]

10. Whoa he freaks me out more than Cheney. Cheney it's greed but Rove revels in this.

If there is one thing if Rove says it, it is in our best intrest to prove him wrong or do the opposite.

[democracy1st]

11. he's playin mind games with the public

[spanone]

13. as a card carrying member, kkkarl should know

[Frustratedlady]

15. This is how KKKRove gets his jollies.

And I don't mean smiles. What a jerk.

[whistle]

20. Seems like KKKarl Rove with his black heart just opened the flood gates for Ku Klux Klan

...to come out where ever their rats nests reside certainly down here in Florida that will be true come close to election day in November.
