Rove: Obama acting like 'third-world' 'dictator' with contraception rule

[kpete]

GOP political strategist Karl Rove blasted President Obama's new contraception mandate on Fox Friday, saying the rule sounded like a third-world country run by a dictator donning mirrored sunglasses.

"Where does this authority come from," Rove asked Fox's Bill Hemmer. "This sounds like some third-world county governed by colonels in mirrored sunglasses in which he dictates, 'I, the supreme leader, dictate that something will be provided free when we know the cost of that will have to be borne by everybody else in society that's not getting the free good.' "

1. Rove it's the other way around.

Your people are the ones saying you shouldn't have to do what everyone else is required to do, because you don't approve. Then on the other hand you want to remove all safety nets. So that a married couple should be abstinent or have a dozen children just because you say so.

16. It always is with Rove. He perfected the technique of projecting Republican bad behavior onto others

If they say that we're doing it, we can be sure that they're doing it.

2. Notice that it is cast in the usual meme--disgruntled taxpayers supporting freeloaders (minorities)

A big fallacy however because this is insurance providing a medical benefit that 98% of the population uses.

[geckosfeet]

3. What I find amazing, is that anyone thinks that the pig rOve still

maintains a shred or credibility or relevance.

Oh I see - faux friday - enough said.

[russspeakeasy]

4. After a lingering and painful death, I hope Rove comes back as a

toilet brush.

5. Hmmmm.....

DUer Fawke Em blasted the GOP's new anti-contraception diatribe on DU Saturday, saying the forced-birth rule sounded like something a third-world country run by a dictator would impose on more than half its citizens.


"Where does this authority come from?", Fawke Em asked everyone. "This sounds like some third-world county governed by colonels in mirrored sunglasses in which he dictates, 'I, the supreme leader, dictate that women will be forced to either choose between something as natural as sex or risk becoming impregnated against her will when we know the cost of that will have to be borne by everybody else in society...".

7. Sorry I just gotta

Rove has gone beyond hyper-delusional.

[fascisthunter]

8. No ROVE: it's the Religious Right who wants to dictate what the rest of the Country Should Do

your fanatical constituency is the problem, and little sociopaths such as your selves who take advantage of cult-like movements.

But like all extremist nut cases, you will twist reality to suit your agenda until you destroy yourselves. Unfortunately, you damage the world around yourselves in the process, like a black hole that just takes.

9. Hyperbole is worse than a million holocausts. (nt)

[nevergiveup]

10. My message to Karl Rove

"go romney yourself"

[lunatica]

11. Turd blossom's mouth is blooming blossoms again

It's all that unctuous oil dripping from his lips that fertilizes the growths.

[Wait Wut]

12. Ya gotta give them all credit.

They know the buzz words that will scare the hell outta their base. I'm starting to believe they have their own super-secret school complete with cheerleaders, dressed all in red, wide-eyed, terrified expressions on their faces. Oh, wait. They have FOX "news" "anchors".

nm.

Okay, class, let's highlight the words that will keep our followers tightly bound to our beliefs.
Authority
Third-world
Governed
Colonels
Mirrored sunglasses
Dictates (dictate)
Supreme Leader
Borne (super-secret word that will ping that anti-choice brain cell)
Free

Extra bonus points and big ol' star if they can spell them all correctly.

13. Funny, I don't recall George Bush or Karl Rove being the least bit worried

about using my tax dollars to invade Iraq.

[CJCRANE]

14. I'm sure Glenn Beck has used the 'colonels in mirrored sunglasses'

talking point before. It sounds familiar.

[Botany]

15. Rove is the perfect reverse barometer

If he says something is bad you know it is good and if he says
such and such actions will hurt the democrats you know those
actions will help the democrats.

Rove is an evil election stealing lying piece of crap who should be
in jail but he is not dumb and he knows that the republicans are
pissing off ALL WOMEN VOTERS with this nonsense over contraception.
He also knows it political poison to the old white men pushing it. I am sure in
private he is telling Roger Ailes & other republican leaders it is a
loser of an issue.


Obama has 21 point lead w/ women voters

17. I wish KKKarl would stop projecting....

[Pisces]

18. More racist tripe. They will never learn. Obama Derangement Syndrome is causing them to lose their

minds and what is left of the last shred of dignity.

[Initech]

19. Bush was WAY more of a third world dictator than Obama was or will be.

[Botany]

21. Bingo!

"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it, " [Bush] said.

******

I hope I live long enough to see those people put in jail for the crimes they pulled.

[Initech]

24. I'd like to see that as well

Like I said in another thread - you could play 6 degrees of evil with the BFEE and the Koch Bros. and find the root of everything bad that's happened in the last 100 years. They are the real terrorists in this world.

20. So he's fled the country by now?

If I recall correctly, publicly broadcasting denunciations of those mirror-sunglasses colonel-supreme leaders was pretty much guaranteed to shorten one's life expectancy to "by sundown" unless one high-tailed it across the border.

I haven't heard news of his demise yet, so I'm guessing he survived to sundown. Which means he's either out of the country or he's so full of santorum it's spilling out of his mouth.

But then, his nickname is "turd blossom"...

[BumRushDaShow]

22. Turd Blossom is the Teabaggers' biggest target

because he is the personification of "The Establishment™"... and he just doesn't seem to get it!

23. Keep digging that hole, Karl.
