Herman Cain pushed back hard at Karl Rove's recitation of his recent campaign fumbles and miscues - which he presented on a whiteboard on Fox News this morning - and accused the operative of trying to do him intentional damage in a Byron York interview:
"It's a good thing the voters are not looking at Karl Rove's little whiteboard," Cain said in a phone conversation from a stop in Chicago Monday afternoon. "I believe it is a deliberate attempt to damage me because I am not, quote unquote, the establishment choice. But why not go with the choice that the people seem to like?"
Cain accused Rove of bias in favor of candidates with big organizations, lots of money, and prior experience in political office — all things Cain doesn't have. "What has Karl Rove done?" Cain continued. "If I become the nominee, he has given Democrats talking points for a commercial to attack me. It makes no sense unless it's a deliberate attempt on his part to try to push me down so that the candidate he wants rises to the top." Continue Reading
When asked which candidate he believes Rove supports, Cain said, "I believe he wants Romney to get it."
Rove strongly denies Cain's charges. "Herman Cain is the one giving the Democrats material for attack ads," Rove said in a phone conversation Monday afternoon. "I want the strongest nominee to emerge from the process. I have no personal favorite. Fox expects me to call balls and strikes as I see them."

Porky Pig is scared to death that he will become irrelevant and won’t be invited to the DC cocktail parties. Here’s a news flash for you Porky, put your snout up close to the monitor so I can whisper: “You are already irrelevant!”
Yes, Herman, Rove and the GOP Establishment are indeed trying to destroy you. They will not allow you to win.
This will be news to Janine Garafalo, who believes that Cain is being engineered by Rove to trick people into thinking the GOP isn’t racist.
Keep that moonbat out of this. Kicking that door open can be quite unsightly.
The last couple of weeks have been awful. I can't stand watching Fox anymore because of it, and Rove can go to hell. "Fair and Balanced" my ass.
Tokyo gets a cup of coffee and his assasination talking points from the GOP leadership every morning. He calls em as the GOP elites sees em. I am glad to see Herman Cain calling Rove out.
Of course he is, you had the audacity of running for president without first kissing the ring of the Bush dynasty and asking permission.
Sounds like it’s time for Tea Partiers, FreePs and other right thinking CONSERVATIVES to DESTROY Karl Rove!
fox and rove... both putrid pos one world order progressive entities... that love them some romney. **** both of them.

That white board was sort of weird. I’m a Perry fan, agree with the problems that were on the list, but was offended that Rove held up that list on National TV.
I’ve said it for months: we do not need to be writing the DNC’s ads or giving them visuals and video footage that they can use against our candidates in this election and future elections.
With great love and respect, Milt
Rove is “THE” Arch-Rino... who trys to act like an Elephant..
... AND rove is everything that the left ever said that he was... being a leftist himself... they should know their own better than anyone else.

Rove is a disgusting fat faggot and Hannity should be ASHAMED of all the times he has that porky faggot on his show.
I can’t stand Rove and I avoid watching Hannity because of all the times he invites that fat faggot pig-snout to sit down beside him.
When exactly did Karl Rove become a “conservative’. He has always been a GWB-type Rino.
No more Bushes, no more RINOs.
Bush and Rove were a two man wrecking crew for the Republican Pary.

Of course he is trying to destroy Cain as they want the Tea Party to back Romney in the hopes it will destroy the Tea Party and the way for Jeb Bush in 2016 and the return of the Blue Bloodies as well.
Tokyo Rove thinks he is the RINO king maker. Forget it, Rove.
Don’t go there Herman. Rove just wants you to waste time on crap like this instead of reaching the people with your ideas. Let little cockroaches like Rove scurry by. Don’t bend down to his level. Remember, you got where you are by not acting/reacting like Romney and Perry. Stay above it. You’ll do just fine.
