ABC Blames Karl Rove for Swift Boat Ads, All Nets Scold Him for Plame Leak
Newsbusters ^ | August 14, 2007 | Brent Baker

Posted on 08/15/2007 12:01:24 AM PDT by Anita1

Reporting on the resignation of presidential political adviser Karl Rove, ABC's World News on Monday night absurdly blamed Karl Rove for the ads from Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and featured John Kerry's condemnation of Rove as all three broadcast network evening shows castigated Rove for his criticism of how Democrats want to coddle terrorists and highlighted his “leaking” of Valerie Plame's name.

Navy Contradicts Kerry on Release of Military Records
By Marc Morano
CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer
September 16, 2004

(CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Navy released documents Wednesday contradicting claims by Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry that all of his available military records have been released.

The Navy, responding to a Freedom of Information Act request from the legal watchdog group Judicial Watch, also referred interested parties to Kerry's campaign web site for government military documents.

Navy Personnel Command FOIA Officer Dave German wrote in an e-mail to Judicial Watch that the Navy "withheld thirty-one pages of documents from the responsive military personnel service records as we were not provided a release authorization."

A "release authorization" would have to come from Kerry filling out and signing a Standard Form 180, something he has yet to do. A Standard Form 180 would authorize the complete release of all his military records. Judicial Watch filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests in August to obtain Kerry's military records.

The rest is here.

The media leftists do what they always do - Rush ahead full speed in creating and promoting false mythologies that really never gets a public examination for what they are, propaganda. They create myths from whole cloth and then they focus their “reports” on those myths, ignoring any facts to the contrary. Any opposing facts or viewpoints are immediately attacked as the only real propaganda, while their campaigns of mythological disinformation are used to build -one upon another - A false framework of reality that has little or no basis in fact.

At some tipping point (and maybe that point has been reached, its difficult to judge) when a sufficient number of the population realizes the Leftist media propaganda for what it is, it will have the opposite effect. The harder the media Leftists try to create their self-reinforcing mythologies, the more obvious it becomes that it is false, agenda driven propaganda, and it will have the opposite effect from whats intended.

On the other hand, spending our time on refuting the endless campaigns of false mythologies saps time and energy that could better be spent on more effective pursuits. It is just like winning an argument with a child - Even after the point is won, the child will usually not accept that they are wrong, they only lick their wounds and engage in fantasies that somehow make them noble, righteous and of course, “they were right all along”, regardless of the facts or reality.

That’s nothing. I’ve seen video of Karl Rove strangling a kitten and removing the “Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Law” tag from a mattress.

And why was this man not indicted?



Because Plame was not a covert field agent!

People who belong to cults or high control groups like the JWs, Mormons, Scientologists etc. exhibit the same characteristics.

Don’t forget murdering Pricess Di and kidnapping the Lindberg baby.

John Kerry's War Record:

What a PI$$ANT!

Times three! What a joke!

This is downright amazing. Even after Armitage has come out and said he dropped Plames name, even after Robert Novak backs that up, the lamestream media still says it was Rove who did it. It’s not stupidity - it is outright lies!

All that losing Karl Rove means, is that George W. Bush is not in the running for any other elective office.

After all, once you have been at the top, and there just isn’t any pay grade higher on earth than President of the United States, what is there to aspire to?

And the departure of Karl Rove should not mean any change of direction AT ALL for the Presidency. After all, Dick Cheney is still in close communication all the time, and until January 20, 2009, HE is not leaving.

It is notable, and with some satisfaction, that Karl Rove left the White House at his own decision, and moving under his own volition, not shackled in any way. This probably destroys one of the most vivid imaginary visions of many of the MSM. And among the Democraticans.

Karl Rove is guilty of nothing more than playing the Left for fools. For that, they can never forgive him. The hate and rage out there is just staggering.

Does anyone expect fairness and objectivity? I frankly find these remarks directed against Rove offensive, and the people making them offensive.

Again GOP, if you don’t have the gonads to stand up and scream that these POS democrats are LIEING then again a lie repeated often enough will become the truth in the tiny little minds of the American public. Stand up and fight back or you are doomed.
