Karl Rove Tells it Like it Is

At a fund-raiser in Midtown for the Conservative Party of New York State, Karl Rove had this to say:
"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers"…

Citing calls by progressive groups to respond carefully to the attacks, Mr. Rove said to the applause of several hundred audience members, "I don't know about you, but moderation and restraint is not what I felt when I watched the twin towers crumble to the ground, a side of the Pentagon destroyed, and almost 3,000 of our fellow citizens perish in flames and rubble."…

"Has there ever been a more revealing moment this year?" Mr. Rove asked [regarding Dick Durbin’s statements]. "Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of
liberals."
What the?... Karl Rove, I just have one thing to say. And please don’t take this the wrong way… I love you.
