Karl Rove in my town last night and gets smacked around but good.

[Lex]

Verbally, anyway. Poor Turdblossom. Not.

Rove's critics let loose with loud, colorful protests


DURHAM -- Karl Rove encountered hecklers and protesters at Duke University Monday night, some accusing him of being a fraud, a traitor and even a killer.

President Bush's former White House deputy chief of staff and senior adviser appeared in Page Auditorium for a "conversation" with Duke political science professor Peter Feaver.

But the situation intensified when the floor was opened to questions.

The first questioner, a woman, set the tone by sarcastically telling Rove, "Thank you for spinning such a fictional narrative" in his talk. Rove foes applauded and cheered.

The questioner then zeroed in on accusations that Rove "outed" then-CIA operative Valerie Plame in 2003 in retaliation for The New York Times op-ed article by her husband, Iraq war critic Joe Wilson.

Given that Bush had said he would not tolerate leaks, the questioner asked, "When does your trial for treason start?" to a thunderous roar.

Rove, in responding to the "treason" accusation, said, "I don't mind being slandered" and praised Bush as a friend and supporter.

"You're a murderer!" another opponent shouted at Rove.

1. I wonder if KKKarl is getting an idea of how he will be perceived

by future generations? That is, if we have future generations thanks to his treasonous manipulations.

[Lex]

5. And he was in a "red state" too.

Blue city, however. But still . . . the larger cities tend to be blue in the red states. This says to me he can't go anywhere much without meeting the angry citizenry of this country.

[calimary]

76. Good! Made my night! I deeply appreciate seeing this!

I hope this public outrage hounds him EVERYWHERE he goes for as long as he draws breath.

I wish him no peace. NO PEACE. BASTARD. And yes, he IS a traitor and a murderer. And a liar and a cheat. No slander, kkkarl, when it's the TRUTH. No wonder he couldn't recognize it, though. He wouldn't know truth if it flopped him on his stomach and gave him an enema.

BTW - did anyone see the "Worst Person in the World" segment on Olbermann - featuring Torture Boy? alberto gonzales had a speaking engagement scrubbed at some college, for which he wanted 35-THOUSAND dollars. It was canceled for lack of interest - evidently NO students had expressed an interest in going to hear him (and certainly paying for the "privilege"). I hope he, too, is hounded for the rest of his miserable, lying, cheating, conniving life.

Thank you, Lex, for posting this!!!

[tridim]

11. It will never stop either, that's the best part

The damage these people have done will never be forgotten. I hope the rest of his miserable life becomes more miserable every day.

Deal with it fucker.

[Peregrine Took]

49. Not ever - he, boosh, and the rest of them will forever be despised for

bringing this country to its knees in the world community.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

64. RIGHT ON TARGET

HE IS A SLIME FROM THE WORD GO.

[Ganja Ninja]

2. It's not slander if it's true.

And it is.

I'm longing for the day when a crowd doesn't just heckle him but sends him running for his life.

[formercia]

27. A fence rail, bucket of tar and a sack of feathers.

A Southern-style send off.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

31. That vision brings a broad smile to my face.

:7

[formercia]

33. It better be a long and strong rail.

It's going to take quite the crew to haul his ass out the door.

Better make it 2 buckets of tar and two sacks of feathers.

[LakeSamish706]

3. I hope it gets so bad that this POS can't even appear in public for fear of...

physical abuse. Make these A**holes prisoners in there own homes would work very well for me.

[havocmom]

4. Outstanding! Karl is finding out HE doesn't create reality after all.

Reality is gonna keep biting him on the ass until he gets trained that he can't go outside among decent people!

Hats off to the decent people of Durham!

[Cha]

8. And this is with the m$$$$m

behind him all the way..covering his ugly tracks. Imagine with a Free Press how well he'd be received. But, with a Free Press there would be no bushit.

[SusanaMontana41]

55. Hear hear!

He'll be hounded everywhere. Snake.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

6. Glad Rove got it from the crowd

Too bad they couldn't make a citizen's arrest.

[Cha]

7. rove is a

fucking traitor and it's endemic of the US that he's being invited around to speak and has a "job" at newsweak.

Bravo to these people who were there and called rove's snout out for exactly what he is.

[robbedvoter]

9. Thanks! I needed that!

[yardwork]

10. I'm appalled that Duke University hosted Rove. I wonder what funds paid his fee?

[Lex]

12. Didn't Coach K do fund-raising for Elizabeth Dole (an alum)?

I've always heard that. I figure there's a contingency of wealthy clueless republicans there at Duke who fund these things. Edited to add: as there is at most universities.

[EFerrari]

13. On the other hand, they gave those protesters a forum, too. n/t

[supernova]

14. A prof is a former WH colleague of his

and invited turdblossom to the Bull City.


From a short bit on the NBC 17 web site:

"A Conversation With Karl Rove" was moderated by Duke political science professor Peter Feaver, who recently ended a two-year term on the White House's National Security Council.

http://www.nbc17.com/midatlantic/ncn/news.apx.-content-articles-NCN-2007-12-03-0027.html

[Lex]

15. Oh god, can you imagine have that guy Feaver

as your poli sci professor? Wonder how much kool-aid you have to have consumed as a pre-req for his class?

[Triana]

19. More about that here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=170x9539#9547

Was Code Pink there, anyone know?

[supernova]

20. Thanks Triana

That was the bit I was looking for but couldn't put my hands on it fast enough.

:hi:

[Triana]

22. Yea...'Twas in the NC forum...I also linked to this thread there

....'cause the 'welcome' he apparently received was just so satisfying in a - you know - schadenfreude sorta way.

Bwahahaa!

:hi:

[HowHasItComeToThis]

67. SO THE PROFESSOR IS A TRAITOR,TOO

[yardwork]

88. Yes, Feith is a real jerk. Worked for Hadley.

One of the architects of the Iraq War.

[JDPriestly]

50. No doubt, Rove quit early so that he can collect lots of

speaking fees for the defense fund he will need once Bush is out of office and can no longer pardon him.

[usaftmo]

71. Unfortunately I see rove getting a pardon

within the last few hours of shrub's term. Others that are likely: katherine harris, jack abrahamoff, and some enron execs.

[Triana]

16. Bwahahaaaa!

I rather suspect this was the welcome TurdBlossom would receive there. And justly so.

:woohoo:

[Richard Steele]

17. Oh- verbally. :(

Well, I suppose that's SOMETHING, anyway.

[K Gardner]

18. Thank you for this ! I can only HOPE he forever gets the same kind of reception and protest that

Gonzales did the last time HE tried to go out in public ! Yay for Courageous Protesters.

[proud2BlibKansan]

21. Here's how we greeted him in Texas in August of 2006:

[completely_bushed]

23. I was there

and the most disgusting thing, besides the Turd himself, was the damn little suited-up ass-kissing Dukies in the poly-sci class that had reserved seating in the first 5 rows. Two of them "apologized" for the protesters and said they obviously weren't from Duke so they should go back to Chapel Hill. Assholes.

[Lex]

25. The protestors "should go back to Chapel Hill"?

LOL. As a UNC alum I take that as a serious compliment from the little weasel.


Glad to hear you were there, completely_bushed! :thumbsup:
Did Karl looked stunned by the questions or the mood of the crowd?

[completely_bushed]

26. Karl Got Rattled

and that comment was directed at UNC students by the suits at Duke (the new "Brownshirts" wear business suits). And one of the suits was none other than one of the famous lacrosse dudes. The one that looks like an ape.

[Lex]

29. Not surprised

by that at all, sadly.

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

32. Thanks for the 1st hand account and welcome to DU!!!

:hi:

:bounce: OH!! I would have loooooved to have been there!!!
Maybe, a video will pop up soon!

[dweller]

39. KKKarl knows better than to bring his sorry ass to CH

he'd be met at the city limits by the protestors.

i'd be there.
dp

[completely_bushed]

24. Karl waxed poetic

about how smart Bush was. "He always has a book on his nightstand". Wow! And "He's the first MBA president". Cool Karl! Karl is a professional liar.

[Lex]

28. The same Karl who said that Congress pushed Bush into the Iraq invasion.

Said this last week I believe.

He's a world class lying scumbag.

[awoke_in_2003]

46. "He always has a book on his nightstand"

You mean he still hasn't finished "My Pet Goat"?

[Oldtimeralso]

53. It is a coloring book!

[BushLiesDaily]

65. book on his nightstand - 1984

he uses it as a guide

[Dangerously Amused]

47. "He always has a book on his nightstand".

So. Either Karl was always in W's bedroom in order to know that a book was always on the nightstand, OR, Karl makes shit up no matter how flagrant, stupid or pointless the lie.

What an idiot.

[Heywood J]

58. "He always has a book on his nightstand"

No doubt because Mommy or Pickles has to read to him at bedtime, or else he won't be able to sleep...

[Carolina]

63. or Condi

LOL

[sicksicksick_N_tired]

30. Ahhh,...warms my heart to see some form of justice against this criminal.

Hey, Karl! Look up the definition of "slander"! You ain't being slandered. You are being held accountable albeit only via verbal confrontation. Maybe, the thing about "do unto others" will take on a new meaning for ya'! Maybe, but I doubt it.

[completely_bushed]

34. Karl Made $45,000

for about 1.5 hours of lying. If I was paying tuition at Duke, I'd be effing pissed that they wasted that kind of money on a professional liar and war criminal. Oh, and No-Child-Left-Behind is a "resounding" success. Right. Ask any teacher. We're creating a whole new generation of non-thinkers.

[lpbk2713]

35. Yup. All that abuse he was subjected to made him cry all the way to the bank.

AGAIN

[Lex]

36. Maybe all that money makes him feel better

since that's all he has to turn to.

[LuckyLib]

41. After booing and shouting, those students and faculty need to take their protest "upstairs",

to demand some accountability for spending that kind of money on a WH hack who is a felon at best.

[Plucketeer]

57. Good point!

Maybe this is a model of how ex-cons could make a living in society. Some murderer could get a couple thou for shinin' on all the name-callin' and giving a detailed account of how he committed his crime! We could term it: Taking the "Right" path to success! :crazy:

[progressoid]

61. Yep. I'd be pissed too if my school hosted him.

But I doubt karl had any trouble getting to sleep. 45K for a few more lies. Easy money.

[ClayZ]

37. Yay!

K and R

[completely_bushed]

38. Check out the student newspaper coverage

and comments.

What a bunch of little spoiled rich sissies. Those nasty liberals were protesting!

http://www.dukechronicle.com/

[lpbk2713]

40. I noticed most of the articles on their main page are about sports.

Is that all that interests them? Seems kind of shallow if so.

[Blue Fire]

51. These comments are typical neocon idiocy:

"They said disruptions would not be tolerated, and I think this is a real failure on the administration's part," said junior Sam Tasher, chair of Duke College Republicans.

What a whiny-ass little twerp. The administration's real failure was to allow the Grand Poopah of Turdism on campus. At least they didn't pull the dumya 'invitation only' schtick to keep those nasty protesters from 'disrupting' the proceedings with such well-deserved and factual accusations.

Major Speakers Director Isel Del Valle, a senior, said despite the interruptions, she considered the evening a success.
"I personally would've preferred it to be less people protesting just because he's a professional and when you go toe-to-toe with him, he's going to win," she said

Yeah. A professional traitor. And truth, liberty, as well as the U.S. Constitution are the real losers. So far.

[Skittles]

66. pretty sad to hear college kids talking such utter crap

what the FUCK are they being taught?

[Canuckistanian]

42. He doesn't get it does he?

He's not welcome in civilized society.

Does he think he can talk his way out of a lifelong commitment to lying and deceit??

[MasonJar]

43. Good for the Duke!!!!!! n/t

[The Blue Flower]

44. Citizens arrest

Why couldn't any one of us organize to plan and execute a citizens' arrest next time he appears in a public venue? Even if he made it off the stage and into a getaway vehicle, it would definitely send a strong message.

[Lex]

45. Like Gomer Pyle did against Barney?

That scenario these days reminds me of the fateful words: Don't taze me bro'!

[HughMoran]

48. Alright!

I hope he is battered with his hatred for the rest of his life. What a horrid rotten scumbag Rove is.

[MilesColtrane]

52. "Karl Rove in my town last night and gets smacked around but good."

Oh, you meant metaphorically.

Damn.....

[Lex]

54. Well, the words "Verbally, anyway." right after that

was my clue.

:hi:

[autorank]

56. Lex, good for your town!

"You're a murder" - great summary and the question wasn't half bad. The nonsense that Bush is at 36% is getting old. You can't find people who support him, literally. I can't in Northern Virginia, DC; couldn't in N. GA this summer on vacation. But everywhere, people are angry and they're wel informed.

Thanks fo rthe info!

[whistle]

59. KKKarl Rove should be welcomed like that everywhere he speaks

;wtf: Turd-blossom deserves only the best and most enthusi-ass-stick of welcomes :sarcasm:

[nikto]

69. karl Rove...

...is the kind of person
Hannibal Lecter should eat.

Food poisoning might be a problem however.
:nuke:

[Alcibiades]

60. This article actually made me buy the Herald-Sun today

Something I almost never do, if only because I hate to think my money goes to them to pay Krauthammer, Will and the other theologically-correct shills that appear on their editorial pages.

Just read the Chronicle article, noticed that they mentioned that it was a "sold-out auditorium of students, faculty, staff and Durham residents." How can it be sold out if tickets were free? What morans they have running the Duke paper. Awesome comma splices, too.

What is really striking is that neither article really addressed anything that Rove said that might ever be worth 45k. What inside scoop? Where's the substance? Though it may be the fault of the fact that the "reporters" in question were shocked that there were protesters (news flash--the real news from now on is when Rove appears and there are not protests), didn't anybody say anything, other than trivialities such as the fact that Bush evidently stores his booze in a hollow book?

[eShirl]

75. "trivialities such as the fact that Bush evidently stores his booze in a hollow book"

so THAT's the book he keeps on his nightstand


:rofl:

[rockybelt]

62. Does anybody

have a video of this. I would LOVE to see that.

[Swagman]

68. didn't you have any tar and feathers on hand ?

[Cobalt-60]

73. Tar and Feathers are a nice base

But don't forget the incredible, inedible Rotten Eggs.
The unique fragrance of that preparation will bind with the tar.
And the tar will bind with the turn blossom.
Magnfique!

[nachoproblem]

70. Turd Blossom already knows he will be perceived

as Niccolo Machiavelli by the only people he cares about in this world.

[xxqqqzme]

72. This account of saurove being treated as he should be,

as well as gonzo's appearance (for $35,000) canceled when NO tickets were sold, I'd say these traitorous rat bastard's are getting exactly what they deserve. I hope they are driven back to the cave they came from in Texas. There should be plenty of kool-aid drinkers around Crawford who will hide them.

[nachoproblem]

74. They can clear all the brush

from here to eternity for all I freaking care.

As long as they don't come back to Washington.

[barbtries]

78. this shit is not even close to what they deserve

they deserve to be arrested, handcuffed, put in jail, tried and convicted, and imprisoned for the rest of their unnatural lives.

[barbtries]

77. just moved to raleigh

from los angeles. got here 10-3-07; got a job after a month. had a flat on sunday and no less than 5 good people stopped to help me out. i had heard NC was a red state. this makes me feel so good. NC is a blue state too; plus it is full of good people, and it is not even impossible to make a decent living.

he doesn't mind being slandered? there ya go. lies are truth, and the truth is slander. the man is twisted.

are there pictures? video? i'd love to have been there adding my voice to reason, humanity, and the american way.

was he paid to be there? how much of the audience appeared to believe anything he said, or respect him at all?

it reminds me of nixon after watergate. until he finally died i found myself incredulous and pissed every time i saw him being treated as somebody who deserved respect or an audience. it frustrated me, and so does this shit frustrate me. he is so marginally human, so bereft of humanity. yuck!

edited for 2 important letters

[happygoluckytoyou]

79. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE....

I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT THE BUSH AND ROVE FACTIONS OF THE WORLD GET THEIR SHARE OF "THE BEST" REVENGE...

I REMEMBER A RESTAURANT OWNER KICKING O J AND HIS PARTY OUT AND REFUSING THEM SERVICE...

I WILL PERSONALLY KICK IN $10 TO THE FIRST BUSINESS OWNER WHO BOOTS THEM... AND I DONT THINK I AM ALONE ON THIS

[raccoon]

80. Durham folks...you rock. k&r. nt

[navarth]

81. I wonder

...how would one go about filling a water balloon with urine?

Smelly cat urine all over Rove's suit.

Nah, I guess that's too violent.

Nice to picture it, though.....

[completely_bushed]

82. The Duke College Republicans

If you want to see the little Turds (Turdlettes?) that sponsored the big Turd, check this out. What a lame web site. This is so fucking pathetic.

87. That is a very strange slogan on their home page.

"Elite and liberal are no longer synonymous."

[0007]

84. I've always thought of Duke as a prestigious university. Karl Rove

speaking there just blows my mind.

[completely_bushed]

85. Duke University of Crooks

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Duke_University_people

Alums include Richard Nixon, David Addington (Cheney's Brain), John Hannah (Cheney's leak helper), Elizabeth Dole. From Wikipedia on John Hannah:

Hannah is believed to be a subject of the Valerie Plame investigation. On February 11, Hannah was sourced by the Washington Post as having said "during a recent meeting that the administration considers 2007 'the year of Iran'" and indicating "that a U.S. attack was a real possibility." <1>

86. Thanks for confirming this dirt ball institution.
