RudePundit uses hyperbole for effect. Dean Esmay uses it because he actually believes, for example, that Michael Moore is a fascist. How do I know what Esmay believes? Because he says so, over and over and over.<BR/><BR/>4. I've been really angry lately, and it's come out in my writing.

I must have been confused. It's not possible to discuss what was behind Rove's remarks without it being a defense of them. I'll try to remember that. There wasn't a dearth of response from dems regarding Durbin's remarks. By suggesting that Rove was using that for his own purposes just proves I'm siding with him. Got it. Even if there was a lack of response, that's only because Durbin didn't say anything wrong. Right? Why would Hillary or anyone else be outraged. And Hillary is not trying to position herself toward the center. I'm not sure where I even came up with that silly notion. <BR/><BR/>Bush, the goat book boy, and his administration is evil. I hear they may have even planned the 9/11 attacks. Black is black and white is white. There is no gray. Liberal = good and Conservative = crap weasel, and never the twain shall meet. Thanks for the lesson. I forgot where I was for a while. I'll go drag my knuckles on back to the revival meetin' where I belong.<BR/><BR/>And that Rude Pundit is brilliant.

There was a huge outcry by dems over Rove's remarks insulting them, but barely a whisper over Durbin's comments equating our troops in Cuba to Nazis, etc. Even Hillary, who's been doing the political side-step to the center, stopped long enough to be outraged by Rove's remarks. I read a quote today, "If you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one who yelps the loudest is the one you hit." In my mind, that's what he was shooting for. I don't think most Americans feel calling liberals soft on terror is in any way equivalent to calling our military personnel nazis, and Rove knows that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942685.post-1119794783106539792005-06-26T07:06:00.000-07:002005-06-26T07:06:00.000-07:00Rove meant his comments to inflame both his base a...Rove meant his comments to inflame both his base and his political enemies. Which they did. Good job, Karl.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, when even Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum disavows what you said, you've got to realize that a lot of people see your comments for what they are: a ploy to distract from the fact that you're losing control.Thomas Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625090084425511827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7942685.post-1119715686426555532005-06-25T09:08:00.000-07:002005-06-25T09:08:00.000-07:00What's interesting to me is, Karl Rove is a very c...What's interesting to me is, Karl Rove is a very calculated individual.
