Karl Rove Says Sarah Palin Is Thin-Skinned… 3 Times 2 Minutes (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, August 24, 2011, 11:01 PM
So, you must think Sarah Palin is thin-skinned then, huh Karl?
FOX News analyst Karl Rove called Sarah Palin thin-skinned in an interview… Three times in two minutes.
We get your point, Karl.
Karl was on with Greta Van Susteren:
FYI: The video was originally a little bit over 2 minutes. I clipped it down some.

Rove is just jealous, because Palin gets more men to look at her.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
If Palin is thin-skinned…then Obama is the “Visible Man”.

Sour grapes have thin skins too Karl. Come on Karl! Let’s see some conservative support, I don’t give a damn whose running at this point. Otherwise take your marbles and go home. I used to have a healthy respect for you, don’t disappoint us Conservatives Karl!

Karl Rove might as well be a statist. Matter of fact, I think he is.
He sure is on the right show for statists.
Dien Cai Dau commented:
FOX is the only network that gives this schmuck a platform to spew from….. if they didn’t he wouldn’t have an audience at all.
Jet Jaguar commented:
Sarah Palin is to William Wallace as Rove and RINOs are to Scottish Nobles
gus commented:
William Wallace is THE MAN. I used to live in Scotland. My mother lived in Doune near Stirling. I’ve been the Wallace monument numerous times.
Granny Jan commented:
His WSJ column is boring and unoriginal. I don’t bother reading it anymore.
Leatherhelmet commented:
Karl, learn from Ronald Reagan. Support the conservative.
gus commented:
Granny Jan. Rove helped Bush get elected. Morris helped Clinton get elected. Neither of them ARE BUSH nor CLINTON. They have fragile egos. And they are OUT OF THE GAME now.
ahem commented:
Karl ought to get a hobby. Politics is no longer his thang.

Leather, what makes you think Rove is anything more than a HIRED hand.

greg,
i think you are cheerleading for rick perry without knowing his record. rick perry was a HUGE democratic insider and best friend of al gore. he was lockstep with the junk global warming science of al gore, too. he REBRANDED himself as a republican to fit in with the large republican presence in TX. he also has had dinners and accepted money from Muslim brotherhood members. Beware of Rick Perry. I am not a fan of anyone, yet, except maybe Bachmann. She could be a great candidate if she fires the incompetent people on her staff who feed her wrong info so they can sabotage her.

hey KR..
“scrutiny she’s GOING TO GET??”
damn, she’s been more scrutinized than Obama’s BC.
where are you on that absurdity Karl??

Estragon commented:
Obviously, “thin-skinned” is just code words for “white.”
More evidence of Fox and Rove’s racism – somebody call Frederica! Nothing says, “Cut out that darn racism!” like a funny hat.
~~~~~
Rove’s never been a big fan of Palin or Rick Perry. If you’re looking for blubbering compliments about either of them, don’t listen to Karl.
It’s not like Fox gives much air time to Palin critics compared to her and her boosters, is it?
Y’all shouldn’t be so thin-skinned . . .
D Roamer commented:
I will hang my hat on Rick Perry, but if Sarah Palin gets in my mind might change.
I want the nominee to be a strong Tea Party supporter.
fishy commented:
oh, and Karl Rove is a liar and thief. he stole my targeted campaigning strategy when i was helping out the bush campaign in 2004. now all the campaigns are using it. he has No brain, but acts like he is the smartest guy around. he is the one who gave bush terrible ideas that sunk him. take my advice; turn off the tv went that idiot poseur speaks

donh commented:
Looks like Sarah has JILTED Rove’s effort to buy her into this race to wedge the support of the Tea Party contenders now leading Romney. Rove has been desparate to get Sarah running since Perry announced , but it seems Sarah does not want to hook for this establishment pimp after all , so Rove is trashing her in the media in anger for frustrating his evil scemes. Maybe Sarah finally got ahold of Rove’s highschool year book picture and realized what a creep LOSER he is…. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kKpJRdXfZuA/R3wXs4pQ4gI/AAAAAAAAB6c/w_TF1c9duNY/s400/08satan.jpg
Quin commented:
The SarahPAC statement didn’t even mention his name. Now, tell me again who has thin skin?
Go away, Rove.
JimmyT commented:
Romney is the establishment repub man. They will continue to throw stones at the other candidates. Thank God Karl discredited himself a long time ago. He may be “the architect”, but, what he built is falling down all around him. Again I say, Karl who?
davidt commented:
Rove is overly impressed with himself.
CommieJuice commented:
I lost almost all respect for Rove. He hates conservative women with a passion. His boys, Huntsman and Daniels will never be more than they are now and he probably cries himself to sleep each night on his huge pillow over it.
Who in politics has thicker skin than Sarah Palin? Who in the history of American propaganda media has been attacked more, lied about more, been stalked more, been threatened more, been harassed more and has taken more heat about nothing, anything and everything than Sarah Palin in such a short time?
Rove, go join the other losers and relics at the “no labels” crowd and get out of my media!
Craig commented:
“I want the nominee to be a strong Tea Party supporter”. (D Roamer # 18)
Then vote for the Founder of the Tea Party: Ron Paul. He had more donations from the military than Obama and more than all other republican candidates combined. Ron Paul is the man of the situation. An m aybe Judge Napolitano could be his V.P.
Ron commented:
Go away Rove, you are irrelevant.
Old Fan commented:
Well Mr. Hoft, I don’t share your delicate need to protect Mrs. Palin, or fear of criticism for the Palin Franchise.
Long ago, I was trying to offer caution from overtly hyping the product, the same which embraced the Maverick Platform for personal ambition.
Frankly, Mr. Rove is one of the best, and is clearly trying to lead. Just as he did in the disaster which Mrs. Palin enabled in Delaware. The personal vendetta shown for the Murkowski family in Alaska grew ugly, and proved another utter misguided offering. The tone of that campaign to unseat Mrs. Murkowski was ugly.
Sorry, Mr. Hoft, but there is plenty of room for concern and criticism. Mrs. Palin’s regretful calls of “capitulation” for the likes of Boehner, Cantor, etc., are all the more tiresome when we know she bailed on Alaska for her own ambition (or those cheap leftist lawsuits), and jumped on the most ultimate form of “retreat-appeasement-capitulation” for the Democratic Party in the form of the Maverick Ticket.
If your going to throw rocks at others, even try to bizarrely steal the show with strange cries for attention, you better expect a little response.
Unfortunately we have created and enabled a very unhealthy fashionable image-identity game on the conservative side. So you simply are vilified if you offer any criticism for the perceived “ideal”. This is not conservatism, and ends up weakening the essential effort to defeat the disastrous Democratic Partisans.
Doods commented:
Sarah doesn’t need your expertise Karl. She is more brilliant than you are.
Rock commented:
Karl’s never recover from the smack down he got the first time he spoke against Palin, the guy is totally stuck in the 80′s, and fails to understand that the political landscape has changed, business as usual is a career killer. The Tea Party is watching now, get use to it.
coldeadhands commented:
CommieJuice love the “big pillow” image. Can’t get it out of my head.

Rove is a heavy chain strangler against the people. Just go away Rove and take your progressive views with you! and take Jeb Bush ( your progressive friend) with you. The people SEE who you actually are.

Ron Paul says members of military have given him far more money than other GOP candidates and Barack Obama
http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2011/jul/23/ron-paul/ron-paul-says-members-military-have-given-him-far-/
Excerpts:
After we conducted this rough check, Paul’s campaign spokesman, Gary Howard, said by email that their numbers showed that Paul garnered $34,480 from members of the military; other GOP candidates fielded $13,848 and Obama took in $19,849.
Summing up, Paul’s military-connected contributions for the three months more than double such contributions to all the other Republican presidential candidates—and they also exceed Obama’s.
We rate his statement True.
P.S.: That was in June… now he has 46,000$ from the military and Obama only 25,000… he still doubled all other GOP can didates combined. If you truly love the military… why not go with their wishes? I beleive Ron Paul is the Front Runner.
Corky Boyd commented:
Yikes!
Sarah Palin has suffered more abuse, smears and outright lies than any politician, male or female, in my lifetime. Does she bounce back? You betcha.
Karl Rove is the epitome of the Washington inside the beltway mindset. What Republicans need is folks who will fight for fiscal responsibility and aren’t afraid to point fingers at Democrats. The tea party attitude, that Rove eschews, gained 63 seats for Republicans in the House. The McCain’s timid philosophy lost him the presidency.
Rove faces irrelevency. No tea partier will have him, so he sides with the wusses. Wusses don’t win, especially against sharp elbowed Democrats. Put Huntsman is a pit with Schumer and see who wins. It won’t be the gracious Republican.
Palin this skinned? What a joke.

————————————————————————————–
Exactly!!! I’m seeing a new side to Rove….sigh. Plus the CNN imterview goes like this:
Q: Will you know by the next time you are here in Iowa whether you will be in, over Labor Day?
Palin: I doubt it. By the next time I am here by September 3? I don’t know if within the next couple of weeks I will be ready for an announcement or not.
LOL Now answering a question is being thin skinned to Rove? Me thinks he protests too much! LMBO I love how Sarah keeps them guessing. It serves the LSM right for speculating about the news all of the time. Media needs to learn good ole fashioned investigative reporting!
I’ll tell you what, If Sarah Palin does jump into the race, I’ve got a donation and a vote waiting for that GrizzlyMama! Then it will be GameOn

Carl’s full of hot Gas.
Rose commented:
Karl Rove is braying and growing long gray ears, and a long tail with a black fluffy hairball on the end of it. Hee Haw! Hee Haw! Hee Haw!
Conservative to the Core commented:
Rove is trying to force her hand to declare one way or the other. The longer she remains neither in- nor out- the more she pisses off the RINOs.
She just may never declare.
PhilipJames commented:
Its simple. It appears that little Karl is the thin-skinned person in this whole episode. He is upset that Sarah Palin called him out on his little game.
He had hinted that she should or needed to announce that she was running at the Sept. 3rd Tea Party Rally in Iowa or she would be perceived as stringing people along and not serious about running.
Of course, Sarah Palin does not follow Karl Rove’s advice and told him in nicer language to go stick it back up his buttocks. Now he is upset that she made him look stupid. And who is the thin skinned one? Well, its Little Mr. Magoo.
mcc commented:
OT – Just heard caller on Mark Levin’s show tonight – a Truman Democrat – who was incredibly impassioned about seeing that this “Leninist” as he called him would not be re-elected. Bonus: he’s a Tea Partier, very active, and said more and more are joining. Might have been an Ohio resident…
But wish his voice could be heard everywhere across the country to wake people up to the danger of this “scam” (another of his words) perpetrated on us all. Levin said he let the man just go, no interruptions except to make a quick point or two, because his call was probably the most important call of the year.
I agree. Wish there were a way to find out who the man is and get him out on the airwaves to inform and stir people to action, cuz he’s right, “Not enough people are awake.” If I were a Republican candidate, I’d have that man by my side.
LL commented:
Rove has turned into a political gadfly. Palin doesn’t pay him to shill for her so he opposes her. You need to take a hard look at Rove’s motivations. They seem less clean than any other Republican commentator on Fox.
Got Billy Ayers on Speed Dial commented:
I’m convinced Karl Rove is intentionally trying to be the subject by setting up a confrontation between him and Gov. Palin.
Gov. Palin never called Rove out by name yet he wants to get personal. He previously insinuated that she needs to decide on being a candidate or a “celebrity,” that she has a schedule in September that looks more like a candidate than a “celebrity,” knowing full well that some of her detractors dismiss her as only a celebrity.
What a despicable jerk.
mcc commented:
Did somebody upthread say Huntsman and Daniels are/were Karl’s picks? Trying to figure that out…
Could it be that when he’s with Huntsman, he thinks he has a personality and when he’s with Daniels he thinks he has a head of hair?
Freddy commented:
I have come to the conclusion that Rove only attacks those that do not directly support HIS wallet.
American Woman commented:
The Republican establishment doesn’t want Palin, but Rove can’t say that for risk of starting a battle he is smart enough to know he will lose.
Last election many of those in the Republican establishment supported Obama, a fact all of us need to remember.
Jackkk commented:
Rove is just ticked because Sarah won’t play the typical Party game and be managed by power brokers.
Rove needs a thicker skin!
SaraHasOurBack commented:
Rove: “look, she’s a big, she’s a potentially big factor in the presidential election. If she were to get in she’d be a contenda, as they say. She was the vice presidential nominee in 2008. She maintains a following. Ah… there are, there are people who want her in and there are some people who would be deeply concerned if she did cause she’d be eating into their, into their ranks. But she’s a player.” Sounds like Rove just wrote Sarah’s next campaign ad.
Sarah was pissed not bc/ Rove was speculating on whether she would run or not, but bc/ Rove tried to box her into a date on Sept. 3 & raised expectations of all who will be attending the Teaparty event where she is the key speaker.
Rove should get a grip. Anyone who has been following Palin & taking her at her word knows she’s been contemplating a run since she helped turn the house w/ her campaigning & endorsements in 2010. As for the exact day of her announcement, she said by the end of September…no big drama.

technopeasant http://conservatives4palin.com/2011/08/gop12-concedes-governor-palin-is-still-sitting-up-there-in-the-polls-without-much-effortopen-thread.html
10 random thoughts on Palin, Rove and the political lay of the land:
1) Sarah Palin is entitled to her own timetable on when she decides to declare for the Presidency. I will support her regardless if she gives hints on Sept 3rd or not.
On the subject of possible proselytization if Palin doesn’t declare or give any hints on Sept.3 as I have said before superstars are wired differently than we mortals: they really believe they can still prevail regardless of how far behind the 8 ball they get. I respect that.
2) It is no coincidence today that Jeb Bush called for the GOP to “cool it” on criticizing Obama and rumors are afloat that Jeb is all in for 2016 and Rove steps up his attack on Palin. Karl don’t you know Palin is down 17 points to Obama in the latest Rasmussen poll? Why even mention her potential candidacy if she is such a loser? Either Karl hasn’t read the recent Rasmussen poll (unlikely) or he doesn’t believe it. Because if he did a Palin nomination and a Goldwater blowout by Obama over Palin in 2012 would pave the way for Jeb, wouldn’t it?
3) As I wrote over a week ago Bachmann’s highest point of popularity was her win of the Ames straw poll. She is headed for the abyss to join Cain. Her candidacy was always severely flawed: an anti-gay bigot with debilitating migraines who submits to her husband and is a gaffe-machine. Right, she is presidential material. /sarc
4) Mitt Romney’s problem is that only 27% the GOP self-identify as liberal or moderates. And those who self-identify as VERY CONSERVATIVE don’t like him. The only way he can win is massive vote splitting among conservatives. In other words Mitt doesn’t control his own destiny.
5) As a follow-up on my post below I believe Fox will change its approach on Palin after she declares and not bash her as much because it wants to be seen as fair and balanced during primary season and to continue to get Palin to give interviews to Fox.
6) The scenario that frightens the GOP establishment the most now is after Palin gets in she surpasses Mitt in the polls and lands up in second place behind Perry and renders Romney meaningless for the rest of the primaries. Who does the GOP establishment back then?
7) After Palin gets in and especially after her speech to 1000 churches I can see Cain’s supporters and Santorum’s supporters moving over to Palin. Bachmann’s supporters will move once Palin announces.
9) When Sarah declares she will have a presidential web site that is replete with all her positions and why she resigned.
10) Anybody who truly believes as it stands now that Obama would beat any GOP nominee by a landslide is not playing with a full deck.

saveliberty commented:
I read the comments and then watched the video.
I like Sarah Palin. But I am realistic to know that for what she has to offer, she is still human and like any person, sometimes she may need to hear things that she doesn’t want to hear.
I appreciate Karl Rove most times. He does go overboard at times, and again, like any person, sometimes he needs to hear what he doesn’t want to hear.
That said, this seems like a tempest in a teacup.
The comments that he made wondered why it should be such a big problem for him to speculate that she will get in the race and on what day.
Objectively, he has a point. Other news figures and pundits put their opinions in the ring. Why would it be so bad for Rove to say what he thinks about what she will do?
It is hard to see why this was a big deal for SarahPac. Maybe someone in the organization overreacted and Palin herself would just have shrugged it off.
RedBeard commented:
Shorter version of Rove’s recent pronouncements: “Look at ME! Pay attention to ME! I’m still really, REALLY important, d*** it!”
Sad and pathetic.
Sit down and shut up, Karl. You, Sir, are obsolete.
jack commented:
Rove knows that Sarah Palin has previously said that she most likely would not declare at the Sept 3rd Iowa event.
From the CNN interview:
Q: When is a good time? Do you have a timeline?
Palin: I have said that that August/September timeframe is important for logistical and legal reasons to jump in there, but…
Q: So by next month?
Palin: I think that just practically speaking that has to be kind of a drop dead time. Also, in fairness to supporters, who are standing on the timeline, and this is what I have told Todd over and over again, I don’t want to be seen as or perceived as stringing people along, asking supporters, ‘Oh don’t just jump in there on someone else’s bandwagon because I may jump in, so hold off a little bit.’ That is not fair to them. After another month or two goes by, they need to know who it is that they can jump behind. Now more than ever, everybody has got to get involved in this 2012 election. They need to get out there and campaign for their chosen candidates, its all the more reason to hurry up and decide.
A few moments later, there was this exchange:
Q: Will you know by the next time you are here in Iowa whether you will be in, over Labor Day?
Palin: I doubt it. By the next time I am here by September 3? I don’t know if within the next couple of weeks I will be ready for an announcement or not.
Q: So the end of September is no longer a viable deadline?
Palin: No, he was asking about my next visit here on September 3, if I would be ready for an announcement September 3. And I said I don’t know if I would be ready by September 3.
Q: So the end of September would still be your timetable?
Palin: That is still a possibility for a timetable. Yes, definitely.

Rancid, swollen cadaver Karl Rove has the “thin skin”. Nobody cares what he thinks, George Bush doesn’t need a fat-boy factotum, and Sarah Palin doesn’t know he is alive. He is only fit for MSNBC.
Rita commented:
Probably bugs the crap out of people who don’t like her that Sarah has an instant unpaid, unsolicited army of people out there to defend her. Really, that is a belly-laugh that she is thin-skinned. I don’t know how she keeps from going samurai on some of these mouthpieces for the left and the Bush team.
Sam Stone commented:
I sense the feeling that Rove feels he is losing his place in the establishment.
Gary commented:
Nothing thin about Karl Rove. They call him the architect and now we know why.
CommieJuice, you nailed it. Nobody in recent history has been pilloried like Sarah Palin has, and she just keeps going. Very few people could stand up to it. Just look at Obama. He holds a press conference to respond to a Saturday Night Live skit.
Old Fan, are you serious? Karl Rove worked for Castle in the Delaware race. He had skin in the game and did not disclose that until after the election. Anyway, Castle voted just like a Democrat. The only thing that changed on election day was the letter by the seat, not the votes. Do you think O’Donnell would have voted like a Dem? But that doesn’t matter, right? She’s dumb, right? She’s not a Washington insider Rino like Castle was, right? And that’s what we need more of, right? And Murkowski, seriously? Maybe you and Rove should switch parties. You’ll find more like minds there.
Joe, you’re only fooling yourself. You seriously think you can post your 10 points of light to come off like a conservative and in the same post bash Bachmann with all the liberal talking points and lies of the left? Migraines? That story was weeks ago, and by all accounts they’ve never affected her voting in the HR. Bigot? You’re a joke and you reveal yourself here. Bachmann is a patriot, and I’m sorry that her successful campaign has your frightened, but the fact is, real conservatives don’t attack conservatives. We only attack liberals and RINOs. Question is, which one are you?

I am trying to think of a female candidate that Rove and his ilk in the republican party have ever
supported. They refused to support Angle and allowed Reid to get re-elected, they trashed O’Donnell and let an avowed communist get elected instead. Now rove is already starting on Palin in this election cycle. Bachmann is not even mentioned as a serious candidate by rove and the republican elite. His type is what is wrong with the republican party. True conservatives have got to speak up and make sure that a truly conservative candidate runs this time- one who respects the Constitution!
olm commented:
Agree with militant conservative as usual.
These guys, Rove, Jeb all look incredibly establishment to me, including Perry.
Someone may as well be making a oneworld order youtube out of all these guys spewing there opinions.
Screw them. The only candidate that matters is the anti establishment one. And if there is not one of those, we may as well re elect BO, because Washington will continue to stink.

Remember what Barry the kenyan fraud said: Judge me by the people around me? We sure know what he meant don’t we? Communist/marxis/liberal/muslim/ unions
What kind of people does Sarah surround her self with? I can’t hear you! Think about it. Sarah will pick the best to serve her to lead America back to what we were.
She will clean house and will need a very strong disinfectant.
God Bless America

your pal better hurry and make up his mind by sept.3rd or he won’t be organized and all the donors will be all dried up. This teasing must stop Karl or people will be fed up with him and not support him and go to someone else. He needs to decide blah, blah, blah. blah blah.

GFFM commented:
Rove is unequivocally and completely correct. Rove’s speculation is not personal and she is taking it like it is. She is pulling an Obama who thinks he can’t be questioned on anything regarding his job or his political plans. So again she is thin-skinned and shouldn’t run if she can’t stand the heat.

I give Rove credit for tugging at Palin’s biggest weakness…The growing frustration with her prolonged flirtations about running. People have already got in and dropped out already and she’s still ” thinking about it ” . Sarah is deteriorating from a country fair star attraction to the country fair port o potty. There is a long line of people waiting to use the bathroom and Sarah just won’t get off the pot . Its pi**ing a lot of people off . The money she is collecting and her volunteer network are resources that need to be released for the contenders who really are running for President…not strung along for her own personal selfish joy ride.

He thinks she is thin skinned? He had better not ever say half, make that 1/10th of what the left have said about palin to me. I can guarantee his nose would be broken if he ever said things about my family or myself, like what Palin has put up with.

what’s not true about that??
i am certain Sarah Palin would have condemned a
Muslim burning of the Bible as a public spectacle..
i believe he had a right to do whatever he liked in private, what was
wrong was the fact it was marketed as more of a publicity stunt with
ramifications.. unless you really believe Christians would remain silent
had the shoe been on the other foot, she is basically & legally correct..
just as Obama is basically & legally correct about building a mosque at
ground zero.. however, people are speaking out against this Islamist
publicity stunt and they are not going to get away with it the way the
Koran burning pastor did..
to repeat what Dr. Jasser (and many other Muslims) stated:
[Mr. President this is not about religious freedom. It is about the importance of the World Trade Center site to the psyche of the American People. It is about a blatant attack on our sovereignty by people whose ideology ultimately demands the elimination of our way of life. While Imam Faisal Rauf may not share their violent tendencies he does seem to share a belief that Islamic structures are a political statement and even Ground Zero should be looked upon through the lens of political Islam and not a solely American one.]
just in case, i’m not talking the Middle East Africa, or
anywhere else, i, as Sarah, am speaking of America..

sorry, i don’t see how Sarah waiting to announce whether or not she’s running has anything to do with everyone’s blatant impatience, and/or, endless speculations..
Karl has the problem, not Sarah.. she is just doing
her thing & everyone else is spinning it their way..

btw, Sarah was not protecting the muhammadans
“faith”, she was standing up for America’s ideals..

totally forgot Obama is admittedly wrong about the mosque
site, as it is part of the 9/11 attacks, ergo, hallowed ground ..

An Intolerable Mistake on Hallowed Ground
by Sarah Palin on Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 8:47am
Earlier today, Mayor Bloomberg responded to my comments about the
planned mosque at Ground Zero by suggesting that a decision not to allow
the building of a mosque at that sacred place would somehow violate
American principles of tolerance and openness.
No one is disputing that America stands for – and should stand for – religious tolerance. It is a foundation of our republic. This is not an issue of religious tolerance but of common moral sense. To build a mosque at Ground Zero is a stab in the heart of the families of the innocent victims of those horrific attacks. Just days after 9/11, the spiritual leader of the organization that wants to build the mosque, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, suggested that blame be placed on the innocents when he stated that the “United States’ policies were an accessory to the crime that happened” and that “in the most direct sense, Osama bin Laden is made in the USA.” Rauf refuses to recognize that Hamas is a terrorist organization dedicated to the destruction of our ally, Israel, and refuses to provide information about the sources of funding for the $100 million mosque. Rauf also plays a key role in a group behind the flotilla designed to provoke Israel in its justifiable blockade of Gaza. These are just a few of the points Americans are realizing as New York considers the proposed mosque just a stone’s throw away from 9/11’s sacred ground.
I agree with the sister of one of the 9/11 victims (and a New York resident) who said: “This is a place which is 600 feet from where almost 3,000 people were torn to pieces by Islamic extremists. I think that it is incredibly insensitive and audacious really for them to build a mosque, not only on that site, but to do it specifically so that they could be in proximity to where that atrocity happened.”
Many Americans, myself included, feel it would be an intolerable and tragic mistake to allow such a project sponsored by such an individual to go forward on such hallowed ground. This is nothing close to “religious intolerance,” it’s just common decency.

DOJ Keeping Islamic Bank Settlement Secret
[The Justice Department has agreed to end its investigation into an
international financial network with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood
and a Saudi prince in a settlement in excess of $30 million, sources
tell the Investigative Project on Terrorism.
But DOJ officials refuse to release a copy of
the settlement or make any comment on it.]

I’m so sick of the press (including Hannitty [sic?]) schmoozing
the creepy, fat, political kewpie dollKarl Rove as if he represents Conservatives. Rove represents those part of his bubble: the GOP, establishment, blue-bloods, cocktailers, and barnacles.Rove is sooooooooo insulated that he hasn’t seen the tsunami the Left unleashed on Palin… much less how well she has survived it all. “Thin-skinned?” Really!!
I loved the first “Teflon President.” I’m ready for the second one. It’ll be great when she is inaugurated in 2013. And no. I don’t mean Bachmann.

That was a great post. I haven’t laughed so much since Charlie Rangel claimed his wife was responsible for his tax problems. You must drink tons of Kool Aide.

citizenjane commented:
It’s very simple. Rove wants Obama to be re-elected.
As a result, according to his scheming, Jeb Bush in 2016.
Rove is a turd.
And despicable.
Holtz commented:
Karl Rove has joined Erik Erickson of the Redstate and both have gone off the deep end into political irrelevancy, being the yesterday men of Bellway establishment RINO elite.

Kudos to you for actually looking-up Palin’s post & stating the facts in her own words. Too bad the MSM “journalists” don’t do the same. Funny, how Palin haters make things up, or just condescendingly post ad hominem attacks, when so much of her record & words is readily available on her facebk page or elsewhere online (i.e. foreign policy economic, social posts, speeches, 25,000 email, extensive record of her 20 year political career & executive experience as mayor & governor…compare & contrast w/ Obama’s invisible record.)
As for Rove & company, just so sick of their snark….easy to throw punches, yet, when was the last time any of these studio sitting potato head pundits actually ran their own town or state w/ selfless sacrifice & grit.
