KKKarl Rove: "He was born in Hawaii". What? One of the main republican leaders actually

[AlinPA]

saying the President was born in the U.S.? Was he drunk? The teabaggers and the republican base will go nuts.

1. I hate to say this....

but I dislike and distrust Rove so much that I am now begining to wonder.

[sadbear]

2. Karl is a neo-con, country club republican.

It's all about the money for his type. There's nothing to be gained by letting the teahadists burn it all down.

3. Rove is very worried that the birthers

will split the party.

[DailyGrind51]

10. Rove is an establishment Republican who fears change in either direction!

[AlinPA]

12. I think the republican party is pretty much in agreement with the birthers. It is one of their

campaign points and it will be a battle cry in 2012.

4. Rove is right

For once and only once

[beac]

15. Except that he also implies that Obama and the White House are some how

promoting the birther movement:

5. he can afford to be magnanimous

51% of the pukes believe President Obama isn't...so KKKarl can add a new Mission Accomplished banner to his list.

[EC]

6. He's doing it to

separate the loons from the chafe. He sees the trap of labeling all repubs as loons going on because of the recent poll that shows 51% of repubs believe this shit. He knows its beginning to make the whole party look goofy, so he's walking it back and giving the other repubs cover to walk it back.



But he'll find out that the majority of the repubs are loons, when the loons start going after him, I think.

[AlinPA]

13. The republican party has changed and is teabagger controlled - Rove is out of the

picture if he really meant that Obama was born in Hawaii. Their mainstream party members are birthers now.

[slackmaster]

7. That pretty well proves that Obama could NOT have been born in Hawaii

:argh:

[jenmito]

8. The freepers are going NUTS over him AND O'Reilly. I went to freeperville and they're

saying all sorts of things, from calling them RINOs, to saying they're bought off by George Soros, etc: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2674981/posts?q=1&;page=1

[AlinPA]

11. He'll say that he "mis- spoke" and that it was a joke. nt

[jenmito]

14. I don't agree. He said it many times. n/t

[beac]

16. Ruh-roh! Rove is going to have to but a LOT of Cheetos to smooth this over!

Not so fun when your flying monkeys start flinging their feces at YOU, is it KKKarl?

[jenmito]

17. I doubt he cares...

but Bill O'Reilly's ratings for his show may suffer if the freepers represent his viewers, almost all of whom said they're not gonna watch his show anymore.

[Puzzler]

9. The irony is that Rove seems somewhat sane...

compared to the more recent Teahadist wingnuts.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

19. although he might not realize Hawaii is in the US?

[craigmatic]

18. Rove wants to win elections. Teabaggers are movement conservatives. The 2 don't mix.

Usually they put their differences aside to win but they're victims of their own success so every faction wants to get their way 100% of the time.
