Karl Rove is a genius.

[KlatooBNikto]

He has rightly guessed that in spite of the high sounding words of our constitution, many Americans can be easily stirred by hate, religious passions, illogic and xenophobia. He has the right team to carry forward these messages:Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld.His edicts now have the force of law,obeyed by the parrots of the Press.He has essentially coopted the vast machinery of the Federal Government and assembled ahorde of Corporate chieftains to carry out his orders to punish anyone even remotely expressing a view that is different from the Right Wing mantras.

The Age of Reason has been replaced by the Age of Yahooism.Like pigs wallowing in mud, we seem to like this,so don't expect it to change anytime soon.

1. we don't talk enough about rovian tactics

while he's not the only one to practise his particular brand of politics -- he is certainly among the best.

he exemplifies the marriage of our corporate masters with the mob.
with the corporate masters firmly in control.

his brand of warfare won't go away any time soon -- ot at least not until he receives several rounds of sound defeat.

and to defeat him -- he has to be understood.

4. and to defeat him -- he has to be understood.

He believes in his fantasy.... show him that's what it is, and perhaps he will turn on himself. The best tool to use against a madman... are his own wiles.... self inflicted if possible.

2. He is good at bs politics, but...

if he had anything to do with the exploitation/involvement of the schiavo situation, he clearly fumbled big time.

3. I would make a correction in the subject

"Karl Rove is a <EVIL> genius"

[Swamp Rat]

5. No he's not.

He's a Jeenyus. :D

6. KKKarl is nothing more than a manipulative bastard without the usual

scruples that would keep a normal, or at least decent, human being from playing on the darkest and most ignorant part of human beings. He uses and plays the weak and stupid. He lies knowing that it's the BIG lies that get believed. He crawls on his belly in the mud knowing that if he flings enough of it at everyone, people are so lazy and base that they'll believe his lies because it would take work and brainwave activity to discern the truth. And he knew from the minute he met Chimpy that he struck gold because he met his soul-mate. Another sleazeball who's do and say anything to gain power, or at least the appearance of it.

KKKarl is just like the famous and successful propaganda pushers thoughout history who preyed on the weakness and fallibility of people, Goering for instance.

8. I'm with you bud. There is nothing more disgusting in the world than

an someone who enjoys winning at all cost...but especially when it results in great pain to others. That god they can shove people into MRI machines these days and diagnose them properly.

In a completely unrelated story ... it seems sociopaths solve all problems like a math problem. All emotional problems are just a bunch of cold things that get added together or not. They have no wrinkles where normal humans do when they age..laugh lines and crows feet.. because they do not smile or laugh unless others are there to be fooled by the acting. I'm guess they don't have any emotions in their dreams. I did notice Karl Rove had very few wrinkles in emotional places for an essentially pink white man at the age of 55. Just a few wrinkles slightly above & between the eyes. Then I saw BTK. And those are the only wrinkles 60+ BTK had either. Then I did a math problem in my head and paid attention to what muscles it used.

ROTFLMAO and then I :cry:

7. Karl Rove is a classic pot-stirrer. He always knows who to get

riled up, and then steps back as though he has had nothing to do with it.
