It's a trap!

Fascinating! So Karl Rove really is a genius.

Maybe that's not a mistake though. It might have been the spark that lit the fire and it forces some liberals to call attention to themselves distancing themselves from their usual allies.

I agree with Ann. There is a segment of the Democratic party that are nodding their heads in agreement, if you will, with Rove's statements. By lumping the moveon.org'ers and their ilk with the Democrats that reacted to 9/11 as most Americans did, a schism is highlighted in the party. This schism is very difficult to defend since doing so verifies its exsitence. Something the party so far has been loathe to do.

The camp that coddles and the camp that crushes now must reconcile - Karl you are such a clever lad!

I will agree that he's in evil genius if the following words come out of his mouth as part of an "apology":

"I'll resign if all the Democrats who said crappy things resign too."

Kathleen B: Rove said your motives are to kill American troops? I missed that part.

A suggestion for political discourse from both sides--can we refrain from saying or implying that our political opponents are Nazis, terrorists, or hate America? If EVERYONE stopped doing that (and there are, without question, guilty parties on both sides) wouldn't political discourse be much more valuable for us all?

I have to agree with kathleen b - "genius" or not, Rove's little aside simply underscored the fact that Bush's numbers are tanking. Plain and simple.

I didn't expect the White House to pull out the "liberals are soft on terror" card again until the 2006 election season was in full bloom.

The fact that they had to play it a year ahead of schedule says a lot.

As I meant to say - a perfect opportunity to lop off a diseased infected branch of the otherwise nobel valuable tree of liberalism.

A Democrat, a liberal, a Marine who initially was an opponent of OIF who now says we are committed, let's get the job done. Some might call him a 'white' Obama. Some might call him our next JFK. I call him the Democrats' last best hope.
