Rather sounded like Vincent Price talking about the evil Nixon White House.
And look at Rove...lol!

Rove memo found in Nixon archive
WASHINGTON, July 14 (UPI) -- Even as a 22-year-old, U.S. Republican political operative Karl Rove had a propensity for slicing and dicing the electorate, it was reported Saturday.
The New York Times said it found early evidence of Rove's organizational ability tucked inside 78,000 pages of Nixon administration documents released last week by the National Archives.
Within those pages is a nine-page memo written in 1973 by Rove, who would go on to become the architect of George W. Bush's rise to political power.
Rove outlines for Anne Armstrong, then co-chairman of the Republican National Committee, how to strengthen the GOP by motivating students.
Rove suggests having college Republican clubs show "nonpolitical films for fundraising (e.g. John Wayne flicks, 'Reefer Madness')," the latter a reference to a torrid anti-marijuana propaganda film later revived as a cult film.
In a telephone interview Friday, Rove, now 56, pleaded forgetfulness. "God, this is 1973!" he said. "You work the math. I don't remember it all."
Armstrong later became ambassador to Britain and then returned to Texas, where she today owns the ranch where Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a fellow hunter last year.
Tired old Communist tactics - link someone to 'scandal' 0 doesn't matter if it really has anything to do with the person or not. Sheeple read "name-scandal' in their heads 0 and forever more connect the innocent person with the scandal.
despicable.
“Reefer Madness” was already a “Cult Classic” by 1973. The damn thing was made in the 1930’s. If The Great Rove suggested its viewing he did so because he knew it would be a big laugh.
Might as well vote for the most powerful person in the universe.

That should be illegal! Showing movies to force young minds to vote republican? That’s child abuse!
Oh, won’t you think of the children?!
Wow. Rove is also able to turn a sane man... insane. Not really, but Leopold (the author of the infamous Rove Indicted story), was certifiably insane a long time before the CIA leak. Hmmm. wonder if there is any mention of this in the Nixon files?
What a freak.

Considering the massive flow of drugs brought over the border from Mexico due to our porous national territory policy, much of that constructed under Karl, it may have been bellweather that he suggested they show “Reefer Madness”.
P.S.-talk to your friend Bebe Rebozo about going for the Hispanic vote. Sincerely, Karl

HA... ;o) The loons are so full of the dumbA’s it’s laughable...
Good to know that the Rovester has such impeccable taste in movies.
Does Harry Reid remind anyone else of Dr Carrol from Reefer Madness? He has that same super uptight angry thing going on.
The Rove memo may be in the breaking news section, blam, but check out the science news section too. To my non-climatologist understanding, the issue of global warming is not settled science, with solar cycles and other potential causes of “warming” being valid hypotheses. The Global Warming section of the site seems to neglect the real debate, accepting the leftist screed that GW is, as a fact, caused by man/CO2. Just responding to tanuki’s point that Rove’s 1973 Nixon related memo doesn’t seem to be related to science, but it does have a possibly leftist purpose in being included at that site.
Is that the FR version of schadenfreude?
Oh, that is easy, on Monday Keith Olberman will run with the theory that Nixon and Rove were gay lovers.
That’s it - the MSM has succeeded in tying Rove to that Arch-enemy of Progressive Socialism, Richard Milhous Nixon...
Therefore, he must truly be Evil Personified!!!
Rove helped Caesar.
Rove tricked Napoleon into the battle at Waterloo.
It was much worse when there were basically 3 (three) channels to watch, because they were all very similar. I preferred to get my news from the stony-faced types though -
Eric Severaid sort of had a sufficiently ornery countenance.
Pretty much. It stems from a mistake a DUmmie made in the premature celebration of the non-exsistent Rove indictment. More here...

Wow, news was really dull back then.
