Karl Rove: "We will fuck him, we will fucking destroy him...!"

[Catherine Vincent]

Remember when Karl was overheard saying this. Could he have been talking about Joseph Wilson?

[fooj]

1. Hey. That's right! Who was he referring to?

:hi: Go White Sox!

Peace.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. No! Go Astros!

That's right! :hi:

[fooj]

33. Grand Slam, baby!

Woo hoo!:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Peace.

[Catherine Vincent]

35. Oaky, so tell me what's a grand slam?

Just kidding. I'm not even watching the game. Some fan I am eh?:)

[Independent_Liberal]

2. He probably was talking about Joe Wilson.

That'd be my guess.

[Fridays Child]

3. Who overheard that? I can't remember.

[TomInTib]

5. Ron Susskind, the same guy who got the "reality" quote n/t

[BillZBubb]

4. Hopefully it will turn out to be Bush.

That would be justice on a cosmic scale.

[oblivious]

9. For all his supposed genius, that's about what he's done, isn't it.

Destroyed Bush. Took a while, but he did a pretty thorough job.

Reporters have long gazed in wonderment at Rove, passing on even his most transparent attempts at shaping news coverage as cleverly discovered insights into the White House’s closely guarded strategies. But is it possible that the “Boy Genius” who bestrides our political world like a colossus could have been so utterly stupid as to compromise national security for no reason other than punishing someone who had the temerity to criticize the administration? Apparently so.

As Ron Suskind wrote two years ago, “In conversation with scores of people who know him, the assessment ultimately is the same: For Karl Rove, it’s all and only about winning. The rest—vision, ideology, good government, ideas to bind a nation, reasonable dissent, collegiality, mutual respect—is for later.” James Moore and Wayne Slater, authors of Bush’s Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential came to the same conclusion. “He seemed to be driven by a roaring internal engine to control every disagreement, rule every dispute, and dominate every contest,” they wrote. “In everything he did, Karl Rove wanted to win.”

And winning alone has never seemed enough for Rove. The opponent must not simply be defeated but utterly destroyed, both personally and professionally. Suskind reports waiting outside Rove’s door in the White House for an interview, and hearing Rove issue a tirade about a political operative who had displeased him. “We will fuck him,” Rove said, “Do you hear me? We will fuck him. We will ruin him. Like no one has ever fucked him!”

As Joshua Green recently reported in The Atlantic Monthly , a campaign Rove ran for an Alabama judicial candidate featured a whisper campaign spreading rumors that the opponent was a pedophile. “What Rove does,” said one campaign consultant who had opposed Rove, “is try to make something so bad for a family that the candidate will not subject the family to the hardship.”

17. THx for that profile!

Porky is going down!

[tularetom]

20. My dream headline

"Rove admitted to prison infirmary for treatment of rectal trauma"

[Lubernaut]

22. That's a bit harsh.

I love it!

[Catherine Vincent]

32. Not cool!

Even if it is a joke.

[SoCalDemGrrl]

34. OMG tularetomm!! I just almost peed my pants - hysterical!!

Just what Rove would deserve!!!:rofl: :rofl:

[glitch]

25. A genius wouldn't have to resort to such levels to win

“What Rove does,” said one campaign consultant who had opposed Rove, “is try to make something so bad for a family that the candidate will not subject the family to the hardship.”

Just another thug. Who started the genius meme? Bush? Rove?
Consider the source.

[mucifer]

7. It could probably be

about scores of people. karl doesn't play nice.

[Elidor]

8. It's the rhetoric of an inadequate man

This need to destroy, to exercise power, it's the plaintive cry of someone trying to compensate for his own perceived weakness. He's still fighting that little democratic girl who kicked his ass when he was nine. He's been fighting her all his life. How does it feel, Karl? She's long gone, and you just knocked yourself out. Who have you really been fighting all these years?

[glitch]

26. Oh no! You triggered the pity gene!

Phew, it passed.

13. Yeah Karl..

... but you'll still have a 4 inch penis.

[bhuddaboy]

18. You're Too Generous

I would have pegged him at two inches.

[Auntie Bush]

24. And two 6 inch chins.

[tularetom]

28. His chin cleavage looks like an ass

[Divernan]

30. You're right - it really does. Wonder how he shaves it.

[Auntie Bush]

36. Funny...I was thinking the same thing. But felt I had already been

rude enough. I guess great minds run on the same track.

11. Galatians 6:7-8 Quote them chapter and verse.....

Galatians 6: 7-8: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."

"The Oxford English Dictionary would indicated that it is your petard upon
>which you are hoisted.
>
>b. hoist with his own petard (Shaks.): Blown into the air by his own bomb;
>hence, injured or destroyed by his own device for the ruin of others.
>1604 Shakes. Ham. iii. iv. 207 (Qo. 2) Tis the sport to haue the enginer
>Hoist with his owne petar.
>1826 Scott Woodst. xxxiii, Tis sport to have the engineer Hoist with his
>own petard, as our immortal Shakspeare has it.
>1847 De Quincey Protestantism Ess. (1858) 138 To see the cruel bibliolater,
>in Hamlets words, hoist by his own petard.
>1866 Geo. Eliot F. Holt ii. (1868) 30 They shall be hoist with their own
>petard.
>1882 Nature XXVI. 146 The criticism of practical men..was disarmed; these
>found themselves hoist with their own petard.
>
>A 'petard' is a device containing blackpowder, specifically for blowing
apart the wooden gates of besieged towns and cities. It is shaped like an
old fashioned straw beehive and is hoisted and held in place by a sort of
makeshift hoist. They were widely used during the 16th and 17th centuries
in Europe and also during the Civil War (English that is!). The device
would have been positioned by 'sappers' who would have had to do their work
while taking cover from boiling oil and molten lead - premature explosion
of the petard while setting it up probably led to the origin of the phrase!

12. actually, it was "ratfuck" n/t

[Lancer]

14. A true coward's MO:

“What Rove does,” said one campaign consultant who had opposed Rove, “is try to make something so bad for a family that the candidate will not subject the family to the hardship.”

[SeattleGirl]

16. I think Rove is just the most extreme of the Bushites

but, bottom line, they are all small-minded, mean-spirited, vindictive little shits who's main mission is to WIN WIN WIN, and leave as many bodies in their wake as possible. And one of the things that really drives them, I believe, is THEIR belief that they are entitled to whatever they want. If anyone gets in their way, they do not hesitate to do whatever it takes to take them out.

[O.M.B.inOhio]

19. He could have been talking of Wilson. Or a couple dozen other ememies.

Shit, the intimidation in the Rove White House goes down to the college campus level. Where I am, a conservative group were going to end their GOP connections to be a libertarian group. I guess they realized the Bush cabal isn't really conservative in the meat & potatoes American tradition. Well, they were told that they'd be blacklisted if they did that. A (semi) intellectual college club couldn't even break away. Now, this wasn't Rove personally threatening, but this surely appears to be the MO of this whole administration. Threats to the careers of dissenters and their families. The bastards.

[MarsThe Cat]

21. he was talking about jeff gannon...

or maybe it was to jeff gannon

[Marr]

23. This is Karl Rove you're talking about. He could've said that about

*alot* of people. I'd put a few Republican members of Congress on the list of potential candidates as well.

[walldude]

27. After this week it may have been himself

he was talking about... Bwhahahahahahahahaha :rofl:

[Hubert Flottz]

29. "We will fuck him"

Jeff?

[Dinger]

31. I Read Somewhere That rOVER

said "Fuck 'em hard, fuck 'em till they bleed!"

I think it was at a college, or some kind of "strategy session" or something.
