Facts Behind Recent Purported Public Dust-Up Between Feeney's Chief of Staff and Karl Rove
Roe to Rove: 'You guys wouldn't be in White House without Tom'
So what did he mean by that?...

Late this week, Politico's Anne Schroeder ran details of a purported public showdown, in a D. C. steakhouse, between Karl Rove and Jason Roe, the former chief-of-staff to FL's former Republican U.S. House Rep (and alleged vote-rigging conspirator) Tom Feeney.

During the exchange between Rove and Roe, as reported by Schroeder, Rove tells Roe that he has a file on Feeney, and Roe, who was angry with Rove for cracks he'd made on Fox "News" at Feeney's expense just after the extremely corrupt FL Republican had lost his 2008 election, says angrily to Rove: "You guys wouldn't be in the White House without Tom."

Given the coverage we've offered over the years on Feeney, and former Republican computer programmer Clint Curtis' allegations against him, several folks --- including our friends Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel and Patty Sharaf, filmmaker of Murder, Spies & Voting Lies: The Clint Curtis Story --- sent us the link to the Politico article, asking our opinion on what Roe may have meant by that crack.

In the interest of keeping links to that story from continuing to pile up in our Inbox, here's our take on Roe's purported comment to Rove...

1. Self-kicking, to help kick things off... (n/t)

2. I think in this general area where Feeney is an attorney,

you almost have to do something unethical in order to keep your head above water. It's so corrupt.

3. To the tin-foil hat dungeon with thee...

I know Clint Curtis personally, he's come to many DEC meetings in Orange County FL and he's crackerz folks.

:tinfoilhat:

4. Apparently you didn't bother to read the article before launching your swiftboat...

...But that said, before you simply slime Curtis, why don't you offer actual evidence to back up your slime? I've now known him for years, interviewed him for hours, and have not found him "crackerz" in the least.

So, thanks in advance for some actual evidence to back up your appalling sliming of one helluva brave guy.

(Plus, P.S. go read the frickin' article please. Thanks.)

5. Couldn't agree more Brad-- read the article before sliming Clint for goodness sake---

and by all means ddeclue, if you have some actual evidence, bring it on- we'd sure love to see it. Crackerz? Not a chance. Patriot? You betcha- and to your point, a helluva a brave guy.

[BeFree]

6. He won't

He has no evidence to back up what he says.

And what the hell is this doing in the dungeon? Man, this place is getting weird. You can call for Obama to get impeached and slide, but ask a question about the crook Rove and you get sent down here? WTF?

7. If you don't like this place and how it's run, you can leave. n/t

8. Move along, bolo.

I think it's funny.

9. Move along yourself, BeFree.

I've liked DU just fine for seven years now, and I'm not leaving.

15. It's all those Weapons of Mass Distraction that they have...

watch them as they dodge questions, leap to conclusions and defy logic. Some of them can stun you with their 'critical thinking skills'...

10. WHAT THE HELL?? WHY WAS THIS POST MOVED TO "SEPTEMBER 11" FORUM???

Why has this been moved to "September 11" forum??? It has NOTHING to do with 9/11?!

What the hell is going on here, DU Mod??

[Ghost in the Machine]

14. Welcome to the DUngeon, Brad...

It's unfortunate that some subjects get moved here, instead of being openly discussed. I don't know why it was moved here either, man...


Thanks for all you do..


Peace,

Ghost
