Rove: Obama Is The Type Of Guy Who Hangs Out At Country Clubs

[RedEarth]

By Greg Sargent - June 23, 2008, 2:26PM
At a D.C. gathering of GOP insiders today today, Karl Rove previewed the next GOP attack line on Obama, one that has overtones of "uppity fellow thinks he's better than you," but with a curious twist...

"Even if you never met him, you know this guy," Rove said... "He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by."

Obama is "the guy at the country club"? As Jake Tapper notes, Obama probably "wouldn't be admitted into many country clubs that members of the Capitol Hill Club frequent."

1. I would have expected Rove to say he's the guy that will carry your golf bag

as your caddy, hoping you'll tip him well.

[no_hypocrisy]

2. If I ever saw Obama at a private country club, he'd be the most approachable,

most human, and most likeable character of the bunch. He'd stick out like a sore thumb.

[CherokeeDem]

3. Yeah...ask that Pasty White Republican...

if Obama would ever be allowed to enter Rove's country club unless he was there to wait on him. GEEZ...I hate these bastards!

[Oeditpus Rex]

4. Yup, seems like the country club type to me

[notadmblnd]

5. provide us whith the list of the clubs he's a member of KKKarl

cause I'm betting none exist.

6. "uppity negro" is what he meant to say

asshole

[CherokeeDem]

12. Yep....

just like Tiger. I have unfortunately been in a situation at a wedding held at a "exclusive" country club where some "pasty white Republican club members" were discussing what a shame it was that Tiger was black...they would have really liked him if he were "like them". All of George Carlin's 7 dirty words applies to these bastards.

25. The word "uppity" wasn't attributed to the Rove quote:

"At a D.C. gathering of GOP insiders today today, Karl Rove previewed the next GOP attack line on Obama, one that has overtones of "uppity fellow thinks he's better than you" However, that is probably the picture Rove wanted to implant.

Poor Karl can't get a "beautiful date", since he is no longer at the WH.

[Dukkha]

7. at Rove's country club he'd be the towel boy

and would be flogged if he made eye contact with Rove

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. They are painting him as elite

No way can he relate to the blue collar working crowd.

It's all so predictable. I just wish it was something I could laugh at.

[jimshoes]

Shouldn't the pasty fat swine

be in handcuffs or behind bars (the iron kind) by now instead of besmirching patriotic Americans?

[marmar]

9. Yeah, I bet there were lots of country clubs he hung out in as an activist on Chicago's south side..

:eyes:

I can see the Republican pig-beasts are continuing to push the elitist meme. The nerve of these freaks just astounds.

[two gun sid]

10. Rove looks like the type of guy that hangs around schoolyards

[KharmaTrain]

11. Angry Black Men Get Into Golf Clubs???

It wasn't long ago that the Western Open was moved to another Chicago area course due to the discriminatory membership rules of the club. Gramps and Rove would have been welcome with open arms...Obama would be parking cars.

It's more of the whsiper campaign and smears to create an Obama cartoon the GOOP can run against this year....and they'll keep throwing this shit cause the corporate media loves when they do it.

[kestrel91316]

14. Worse than that. Mooslim terraists get into country clubs????

[KharmaTrain]

17. Ya Mean These Guys?

Hell, they build 'em in the desert and water them with our money.

[EFerrari]

13. Envy sucks.

:rofl:

[TheWatcher]

15. Rove is the kind of guy

Who masturbates to Abu Ghraib Torture Videos.

Probably not the kind of guy who needs to go around throwing stones or casting judgment on people.

[DefenseLawyer]

16. Porterhouse, look at the wax build up on these shoes!

I want that wax stripped off there, then I want them creamed and buffed with a fine chamois, and I want them now! Chop chop.

[orleans]

18. Orleans: Rove is the type of guy who scurries through the sewers. eom.

[bluedeminredstate]

19. "Now watch this drive..."

The gall of this man is astonishing. Breathtaking in its hypocrisy.

[stray cat]

20. Sounds like Rove thinks Obama is James Bond

He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini

[havocmom]

21. How many country clubs on the South Side of Chicago?

not familiar with the area, but :wtf:

Rove making up his own little slice of pretend and calling it reality again?

[kimmylavin]

22. WTF?

Did Mr. Rove NOT NOTICE who he was hanging out with all those years?

As Mr. Bush said: "The haves, and the have mores. Or as I call them - my base."

[spanone]

23. yea country clubs are just full of black members.

go fuck yourself karl

:sarcasm:

[fascisthunter]

24. Rove is the Type of Guy Who Outs a CIA Agent for Political Reasons

that makes him a traitor to his country...

[Obamarama]

26. Rove is just jealous that he never has been and never will be country club material...

Obama, on the other hand, is quintessential country club material: Ivy-league education, attorney, Senator. Too bad so many CCs would gladly exclude him because of is racial heritage.

Rove, on the other hand is a nimrod who quit college and sold his soul to the devil and the Republican party. He's a political man-whore. And then there's his sad, tawdry family life and the fact that everyone in school hated him.

Yeah...Rove is pretty much just jealous if you ask me.

[ladjf]

27. Rove is the kind of guy who hangs around in cess pools.

[Missy Vixen]

28. Oh, how clever. This is coming from a guy who drives a Jag.

Yes, Rove's ride is a Jag. I don't know what type.

In the meantime, it's really funny that the GOP is now picking on supposed "country club" denizens, seeing as how so many of them aspire to that lifestyle. Plus, how many of THEM smoke?
