Rove slams Obama over 'bitter' comments, flag pin
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/16/rove-slams-obama-over-bitter-comments-flag-pin/

Posted: 08:32 PM ET

(CNN) — Karl Rove launched a wide-ranging attack on Barack Obama during a speech at the National Rifle Association Convention Friday, blasting him for his recent comments calling some small town American's "bitter," and suggesting the Illinois senator is an effete politician unable to connect with a broad swath of Americans.

The comments, received enthusiastically by the large crowd in Louisville, Kentucky, are a likely sign Obama's words at a San Francisco fundraiser last month may be a major Republican talking-point should he capture the Democratic Party's nomination.

“You know in the age of Barack Obama I don’t know exactly what to call you, because after all, as he said, because we’re bitter and economically anxious, we ‘cling to our guns and we cling to our faith," Rove told the crowd to laughter and cheers.

"You probably didn't know you hunted out of economic anxiety, and if gas was a $1.50 a gallon, you probably wouldn't be hunting," he continued. “You probably thought you hunted because you enjoyed the outdoors and companionship with family and friends.”

27. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Rove, Gonzales, Rice and Mukassey
in prison would go a long way toward curing America's psychological wounds.

3. God, Rove sounds so STUPID
Um, asshole Rove, just thought you might like to know that your audience did hunt when gas was $1.50.

8. So the GOP "genius" can't think of anything more clever than Geo. Stephanopolis to hang on Obama?
That's fucking hilarious. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Maybe he's got more important things to think about, like keeping his sorry ass
out of the slammer.

9. I am really sick of his bullshit, and I am sick of Congress just talking tough with no action
The son-of-a-bitch most likely consipired to send an innoncent man to prison wilfully

The son-of-a-bitch was involed in exposing the identity of a covert CIA agent

The son-of-a-bitch committed perjury to a grand jury, and even though he was allowed to change his statement on multiple occasions until he got it right, it does not detract that he comitted perjury

We can also add Contempt Of Congress to that, and if THEY DO NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, I can tell you that I HAVE CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS

10. "The Age Of Barack Obama"
LMAO he is such an ass. They are scared shitless of Obama. Even the most staunch neo-cons can see that it's going to be Obama, and he's going to spank the crap out of McCain in the GE (barring some unforseen crap happening).

12. Rove wouldn't last 30 minutes hunting
If he had to "bust through brush" or hike up a hill or
sit in deer stand @ 20 degrees he would die. That fat
little turd ball taking about real hunting is such a joke.

Although Conyers is hunting Rove ... :rofl:

15. Rove needs to hear the slamming of the jailhouse door.
His children would learn the lesson that it is wrong to lie and cause people to die because of your lies. :dem:

19. lol
Saw a clip on CNN of Mittens and Rove (and Huckabee)going after Obama at the NRA event. They sounded so pathetic! Maybe it will be effective to the unwashed masses, but as someone noted above, even the "boy genius" turd blossom couldn't come up with something better?

28. The sad part is that those people think he's on their side
Too bad nobody thought to ask him 'What happened to $1.50 gas, Karl? How did we get to $4?'. But I suppose the answer would have been 'Muslims - like BARACK OBAMA!!!'.
