1. Wow! Please make sure to sing "Happy Holidays!!"

[sandnsea]

5. no no no

Reverse psychology. We Wish You A Merry Christmas... over and over and over until he comes out the front door and screams "Stop Singing That Merry Christmas Song" and then you put that video all over the net. :)

2. This sounds like a blast to me! What state? I kid, but

up-front info would be great. I'm assuming Rove lives near Washington? BTW, I clicked on nothing. :)

3. I wanted to hear "Deck Their Balls With Karl Rove's Follies"

TraLaLaLaLa-LaLaLaLa

[havocmom]

6. While I have no affection for Rove, that last song title is just cold

There are many things the rat bastard should be punished for, but the sins of his parents are not his to repent. That last title is just plain cold.

[gulfcoastliberal]

7. Kind of like his smear campaign against McCains daughter?

I've got no love for Keating scumbag McCain, but Rove DID mastermind the SC primary smear where they phoned all the repukes saying disgusting things about his children. What's good for the goose...

[havocmom]

9. So we can do it cuz Rove did something else involving a child?

That's real decent of us.

[No Exit]

11. Oh, come on! They're talkin' 'bout Jesus and he can take it!

You may not remember the old "Shaft" theme song... it's mostly instrumental but when someone criticizes Shaft a voice says, "Talkin' 'bout Shaft... well, he can take it!"

Karl has done things like start 100% untrue gossip about a state judicial candidate, having college republicans gossip that the man was a "child molester". Karl deserves whatever he gets. Bar nothing.

"No actual children were insulted in the making of that song." I mean, it's a HYPOTHETICAL "illegitimate child".

[havocmom]

19. it makes a round about referance to Rove's parentage personally

and that is just plain cold for the above stated reasons.

The man found out, at what, age 19 that his 'dad' was not his father so the reference seems a bit cruel. He has done a lot of bad shit, but his parents' behavior are nothing to goad him with far as I'm concerned.

21. Fatboy Rove would tell you that that's an urban myth, and

though I've read that many times on the net, I'm not sure if it's true or not. (I WANT it to be true, I'll say that.)

Sorry, though. Let's suppose it is true. Rove is a man who starts rumors against people--rumors in which there is not even ONE GRAIN of truth--that they are "child molesters". He has done this in 2 cases that I know of, and probably has done it many more times than I know.

It is literally a tradition in this country that political satire is brutal. If you don't believe me, look back at some of the political cartoons of earlier days. (One example was the rhyme sung about Grover Cleveland's illegitimate daughter: "Ma, ma, where's my pa? Gone to the White House, ha ha ha!")

Rove started the evil rumor that John McCain's adopted daughter was his "yard child by a black woman".

Someone in the repuke party started a similar rumor about Clinton. They also whispered that Clinton himself was "illegitimate".

The victim of the McCain rumor was NOT a politico--as is Rove--but was a real innocent: a little girl.

Pigface deserves the satire. He earned it. A taste of his own medicine is the only thing strong enough to deal with someone like Pigface Rove. It is legitimate satire. I applaud it.

[mitchum]

22. But the facts that Karl's "dad"was a cuckold, his mother committed.

suicide and ubermensch Karl produced a disabled child are fundamental to his twisted and hateful outlook. "He has been wronged" I would have compassion for even that lowlife dirtbag if he had kept his tormrnt personal and private. Alas, he didn't.

8. Tell it to Medea Benjamin

Code Pink supplied the song lyrics.

[havocmom]

10. It is a song I wouldn't join in and I don't care who wrote it

It is rude and uncalled for to disparage a person for what his parents did or didn't do. That smacks of bigotry to my old ears. The man cannot be responsible for how he came to be any more than the color of his skin or he ethnic heritage. If we beat on him for either of those things, is it not bigotry?

Because he plays on the bigotry of ignorant people, we can resort to the same? That is a bit beyond the pale.

[dufrenne]

12. I just posted this on a different DU thread, but

I think, regardless of what you think of Rove, going into someone's neigborhood and invading their personal and family space is over the line. I know someone will respond by saying that that's what happens when our kids are sent over to Iraq, but I think that's a false argument. It's ok to protest him, but not to bring it to his family, kids and home. The fact that the orignal poster had to add the caveat that it's 100% legal does not inspire me with confidence. Sure, it might be legal, but does not sound kosher. I would certainly not want people coming to protest people we support at their homes. It's a place that neither side should go. Just my opinion. I'm sure I'll get flammed for this.

[paineinthearse]

13. Remember Lewisburg Square?

You probably would have opposed the protests outside Kerry's house after he caved.

Sorry, I disagree.

The first amendment guarantees the right of assembly. These people are exercising their rights.

[dufrenne]

14. yeah

I would oppose all such protests. I understand that people have that right, and that right should be protected, and I would never seek to deprive any one of such a right. That being said, just because you have the right to do something, doesn't mean it's "right" to do it in an ethical sense. You know...like not exercising my right to shave my head...lol. I'm just saying it sounds creepy. I would wish it on neither side.

[Swamp Rat]

15. Do you oppose Cindy Sheehan's protest?

Do you have familiy in Iraq?

Has your entire city been destroyed?

Do you have a warm bed and hot water right now?

edit: welcome to DU

[dufrenne]

16. Cindy Sheehan

No, I don't oppose that protest. For me, considering he considers Crawford the "west white house" and conducts business there (i.e. meetings etc), he has given up the right to call that a private sanctuary. In any case, the president, as an elected official is accountable in ways that others are not (i.e. staffers etc.). The President lives in our "house" - the white house, and there is no doubt that one can protest there. Again, I don't oppose protesting individuals such as Rove (who, though not elected, need to be held accountable), but bringing that protest to their family and their neighbors is something I just wouldn't feel right about. I wouldn't want that on politicians I agree with or not. Just a personal preference. Would I feel differently if I did have family in Iraq? Perhaps, and that's why I wouldn't deny the right for someone to do that nor do I claim that I don't understand wanting to participate - I certainly do understand, but just wouldn't want to participate myself.

[Swamp Rat]

17. OK, I think your position is reasonable.

Perhaps mine is different because I just witnessed the death of my city, friends and neighbors, and my dog... yes, and another neighbor of nearly 40 yrs has died from the stress of the Katrina disaster.

[Sydnie]

18. I have done this very type of thing locally and I can tell you

it is VERY effective. It does bring a different dimension to the message and one that opens the "target's" eyes on a different level. It tells them that they are the SUM of who they pretend to be. His "crimes" didn't cease to exist when he walked into his home, he wasn't "redeeemed" on a daily basis because we allowed him "sanctuary" within his "private" walls. He carries his crimes with him where ever he goes and should be reminded of that fact. Having ones neighbors see that these crimes have weight to others gets them to think. If they are his friend then, yes, they will think you are wrong for having carried out the protest. If they think he is guilty, you will get silent (and sometimes not so silent) support. If they are on the fence, they just might get their eyes opened to what is factually happening because of the actions of their neighbor.

His wife HAS attended functions with him, so she is also "fair game" just as Valarie and Joe were "fair game" for his actions.

I'm sorry I can't agree with you on this one. As long as we play it strictly by the book of "gentlemen's ethics", as you are suggesting, we are not empowered, we merely keep validating that they hold the power over us. Sauce for the goose must be sauce for the gander if we are ever to regain OUR dignity and strength. They aren't talking about throwing eggs at the mans house. They are talking about singing songs with a message, for all to hear. I applaud them and wish I lived close enough to join them!

Welcome to DU .... and Merry Fitzmas too. :hi:
