Karl Rove Slams Fox News Hosts For Bringing Up Anti-Rove Protesters

Fox News contributor Karl Rove directed some unfriendly fire at the hosts of "Fox and Friends" this weekend when the show's anchors decided to ask Rove to respond to protesters who disrupted the former top Bush adviser's book tour.

"This is sad, you people are recycling stuff that happened three to four weeks ago, this is a small blemish on what was a great trip," Rove said when asked about members of the group Code Pink who showed up at a March 30 book signing in Beverly Hills, Calif., called Rove a "war criminal" and brandished handcuffs.

"It was a blemish!" he added, insisting that there were no such incidents at many other stops on his book tour.

"Please don't paint this as much a sign of anything," he continued. "These are sort of sad and pathetic people ... Can you imagine being some kind of nut wandering around with handcuffs? Let's not give them any more attention."

Did his wife divorce him for failure to recognize reality?

6. Repukes are good at recycling.........bullshit its their trademark.

[Marr]

7. Bizarre. That's the same thing these morons said about Iraq.

'You need to talk about all the *good* things happening in Iraq! Look at this flower!'

8. He really "oozes" arrogance----always has

But is he still powerful enough to have toadies suck up to him?

9. Karl Rove knows how things work. When you want something

to disappear, you don't cover it in the media.

Like the millions who protested the war. They were in control and there are still people in this country who think no one protested that war, because the media was not allowed to cover it.

Talking about the tea-baggers and Palin, only promotes them. No matter how negative the coverage is. Every time they are mentioned, their movement grows.

Congrats to Code Pink! For scaring turd blossom so badly he can't stand to even talk about it!

10. Exactly- he knows this gives them publicity

and his description of the Code Pink people sounds exactly like the real description of the tea baggers

[HughMoran]

11. He's right

Why should we spend another minute discussing the recycled right-wing talking points on Faux 'News'?
