LYNCHBURG, Va. -- President Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove, counseled graduates of the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Liberty University on Saturday to ignore the cynics and judge leaders by their character.

America, he said, needs people who have "the moral clarity and courage to do what's right, regardless of consequence, fashion or fad."

"These things can't be taught in a government textbook ... or the editorial page of The New York Times. You either have values ingrained in your heart and soul that will not change with the wind or you don't," Rove said.

Rove reminded the 2,041 graduates to pay off their credit cards and to never act smarter than their bosses. "Even if you are," he added. . . .

1. My response

:puke:

[Wind Dancer]

16. Scary

Talk about brainwashing, appropriate speaker for the university, however.

[Khephra]

2. In other words

"The ends justify the means."

Nice lesson to be teaching to our youth.

[dusty64]

13. I guess that should

go for both sides then. Are the Democratic strategists listening, this is a war that they started?

[bluedeminredstate]

18. And also...

In other words "Inflexibility and messianic certitude are signs of great character."

Why am I not surprised that he chose Liberty University for this crock of shit?

3. isn't it great when your supposed morals have no concern of consquences

[Wapsie B]

4. Imagine that. A person without a degree

addressing those with one. Aside from political differences here, hasn't this fool ever had the motivation to complete at least a Bachelor's degree? Something is just wrong with this picture. I lost track of the times I've been browbeat due to the lack of a degree.

[Eurobabe]

5. Nah, think Rove has a Masters now

from AU (?) in DC, in history or something?

(Not being an apologist-- KKKarl is still a dick.)

[ima_sinnic]

8. if so, it is "honorary"

--article says he never earned a college degree

[Media_Lies_Daily]

21. I bet he responded to one of those spam emails.

[ima_sinnic]

9. excellent point!

I guess he can count on his snake-like wiles to get him by.

[teryang]

6. This is the constituency

He couldn't appear anywhere else without drawing demonstrators.

These schools are great recruiting grounds.

[alfredo]

10. that's why Falwell built Liberty. He wanted a place where he could

make a master race of brain dead killers and thieves.

I remember for a few years they didn't have a library. Have they built one yet?

[PartyPooper]

7. "...Never act smarter than their bosses."..."even if you are", he added.

I wonder if he was referring to Junior?

:dunce:

[Eye and Monkey]

26. Junior calls Rove "Boy Wonder", but there's a paddle waiting -

When Rove sees Junior next, Bully-boy will require deference for a public comment such as this.

If, that is, someone explains it to Junior.

[loftycity]

11. Great Politicians have been killed, Good men have left this

administration.
This horrible excuse for a human is giving speeches and lurking.
This reptile should be pictured in all Dictionaries under Machiavellianism come true.:puke: :mad:

[whistle]

12. Our next generation of Brown Shirt and Black Shirt...

...Bushitler youth! And what was said about the prisoners in Iraq? Nothing it seems.

[jdj]

14. I really hope the fundies keep marrying themselves with

this pseudo-patriotism. I can't wait til they have run this one into the ground and it is so transparent that middle america finally sees it for the scam it is.

The love their country so much they can't wait til the day the nukes rain down from heaven upon it, so they are doing everything they can to help move the process of perpetual war and eventual obliteration forward.

[cliss]

15. The only advice he can give these graduates is,

"Don't become like me".

[LibertyorDeath]

17. What a vile contemptuous piece of shit he is.

He reeks of pomposity the worst kind of shit weasel

I can't wait for Nov.

[DS1]

19. Cool, a liberal chick kicked his ass

:grr:

[Wapsie B]

22. Always painting repugs

as victims of those evil libruls.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

20. If only those people really would judge a candidate by...

...his or her character. They're too busy listening to what Junior says than what he actually does.

[suegeo]

23. Potty mouth Karl?

So ole potty mouth Karl is addressing a bunch o' baptists? Wasn't it Karl who said something like: Fuck that guy, tell him to play ball or we'll fuck him like he's never been fucked before? (with regard to someone who wasn't rolling over to the junta's demands...)

Praise the lord.

[saigon68]

24. KARL ROVE = BIg Bloated Bag of Shit

A wimp too ----Lynndie England would kick his sorry ass straight up. !!!

[onehandle]

25. Rove says Female Catholics are fat Democratic bullies.

Message received.

Of course we'd like to believe that Rove got his ass kicked, but I think that this is a big fat lie to entertain the faithful.

Prove it, you sack of shit.

"When she saw me on my bike with my bumper sticker for Nixon, she put me on the ground, flattened me out and gave me a bloody nose," he said.

[SharonAnn]

27. Good for her. I'd like to do the same thing, though I doubt that

I'd outweigh Rove.

However, I am tall (5'10") and with high heels I'm a little over 6 ft. tall.

I had a short, obnoxious boss once who came in to chew me out about something I hadn't done (I was sitting at my desk) and after listening to him for a few minutes realized that this conversation wasn't going anywhere. So, I stood up, looked down at him, and said something like "Is there anything else?". He said "No", and left.

I didn't dare say what I was thinking because I was afraid of getting fired, but I figured they couldn't fire me for standing up! I still chuckle about that episode.

28. Where else could the bastard go?

Anyplace else he would be met with jeers and protest. That place is the most fucked up "college" on the planet.
