Rove: Hillary Clinton Has “Thin Skin” Because She Pushed Back After Being Called Drain Damaged
Source: Salon.com
Rove does not find this to be "attractive" quality in "antagonistic" former secretary of state. Last month, Karl Rove said that Hillary Clinton has brain damage. Remarking on a fall Clinton experienced in her home in December 2012, Rove said, Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, shes wearing fractal glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know whats up with that.
Tuesday on Sean Hannitys show, Rove bashed Clinton to the Fox News host for pushing back on his baseless medical speculation. Because the nerve of that woman, you know? (Oh, I should mention that Karl Rove is not Hillary Clintons doctor, or a doctor at all. That feels important to mention here.)
She has a problem with the fact that I said that she had a serious health incident and that I thought that would be a bigger part of her personal calculation than most people anticipate. [...] She is antagonistic toward the press, and has a very thin skin. She will abide no criticism. Its one of the least attractive things we see in Hillary Clinton, he continued. She doesnt like being confronted by anybody. And thats not what a presidential candidate is going to be able to get away with in the primaries or a presidential election.Rove is right. Hillary Clinton is the only politician in the history of politicians who does not respond well to criticism from the press. (Particularly when that criticism is a garbage medical diagnosis)

you do in politics. She is strong for knowing politics is a hard battle but wanting to do public service anyhow.Karl Rove is stereotyping Hillary Clinton in hopes that she will react by standing down. Or that the base will think "thin skin" whenever she defends herself. Psychopaths do that. I had one in my life. I was made fun of by wanting to "bond" with my friend when I talked to her on the phone. Of course I wanted to bond with her, that is what friends do. If you can say "of course that is normal behaviour that is being couched in derogatory terms by them" you have a psychopath.

(701 posts)And if she had not responded, we would have heard, well if she cannot stand up to KKKarl Rove, how can we trust her to stand up to world leaders?
This is why there is no reasoning with these wingnuts? American POW released and coming home. Cause for celebration, right? Hussein caught. Cause for celebration, right?
Remember how conservatives cheered when Chicago was eliminated from Olympic consideration early in Obamas presidency? That says it all.
I hate those guys.

If Rove is putting this out you can bet he has a scheme behind it...frankly I think it is to keep Hillary in the spot light, and us defending her.

Rove is a fetid piece of rotten road kill that has been in the 90 degree sun for a week.
