This is characterized as a joke, and it probably was intended that way, but it is in the context of GETTING RID OF TODD AKIN.
This is far worse than anything Todd Akin said.
Unbelievably Ignorant.
wow.
BTW, notice how Democrats can say stupid things “Stand up Chuck!” and its a local, one time story?
Akin was even leading a recent poll, meaning he isn’t going to drag down the GOP. The GOP will be dragged down by lib-leaning RINO’s intent on assaulting conservative Republicans at every chance.
Karl Rove is an asshole! WOW that felt good to say, because that’s how I feel about him. Now I read on twitter that Akin might get out of the race tomorrow, you think this threat by Rove got to him? I did not agree with what Akin said, but after seeing polls showing him with a chance to win, and now you see Rove wishing him dead, absolutely disgusting.
“Unbelievably Ignorant.”
When I hear Pudgo Rovo is against a particular Republican candidate, my default position is that it is someone I probably should support.
I have no use for Rove. I have no use for Bill Krystal either.
Once again Rove is shown to use very poor judgment here.
Last night Bill Krystal spent five to seven minutes dissecting ‘with prejudice’ Romney’s and the Republican’s handling of the convention.
If he would have been taking them to task on Conservative ideals that would be one thing. No, the little pecker-head was trashing them on purely Leftist arguments.
They weren’t gentle enough. They didn’t touch on his favorite Liberal policy enough. They didn’t kiss the Liberals on the ass enough. They didn’t bow to illegals enough. I’m paraphrasing here and these exact issues may not have been addressed in his summary, but the tone was this exact thing, and it was idiotic.
At a time when he wants them to have momentum and he thinks they didn’t build it, he’s out tearing them down.
I don’t support team Romney, but I do hope they prevail over Obama. I may carp about them here, and frequently have in recent days, but I’m not going out onto a nationally broadcast network and pull a skunk routine at their expense.
Krystal is all about Krystal. He doesn’t think. He just shoots his mouth off. Who cares what ditch he drives the effort off into. At least he got his barbs in.
I wish FoxNews would quit using him and Rove. They both stink up the place.
So sick of Rove, so sick of Huckabee, so sick of the boring and obnoxious GOP establishment.
GOPe bump
This is disgusting. Hard to believe someone as politically experienced as Rove would make such a remark.
Yes. Some kind of penalty or censure should be imposed.
Rove has crossed the line. The FBI, the Secret Service, or even the State police should be involved in this for threatening murder. This is just crazy that no one is perusing this. Like another person posted; Rove is a corrupt man. He wants Aiken gone; to put his very own handpicked candidate in line. We need to replace Rove though looks to be too late now. Rove’s accomplishment to have a moderate republican party is almost complete.
same old rove; just showing a bit more skirt to us “knuckle draggers.” must have been celebrating a bit too much about ramming down their hand-picked, liberal nominee. just got a bit to happy. maybe even had a few celebratory drinks.
oh well, at least our guy is getting “murdered” for believing in the sanctity life. that makes me want to write another check (akin.org).
Sad when a former star doesn’t know it’s time to step out of the limelight.
Not funny at all.
There are two liberal liberal parties in America who are despotic and power mad and they only differ on the matter of capitalism versus communism and so we have the choice of the lesser of two evils and so I will vote for the lesser evil Romney who can help Americans if he wins. Yet it is time for conservatives to depart the less liberal rino party after these elections and begin the new conservative party for all who love God and family and country.
With happy quipsters like that on our side, who needs the Drive-By Media?
Hmmm. It just occurred to me...
“Only Nixon could go to China.”
Okay, so the illustrious Karl Rove made his own outrageous gaffe.
Could this possibly open the door to Party support for Akin in the near future?
TURNABOUT: Now calls for Rove to go!
Bush adviser ‘jokes’ about murder of Missouri Senate candidate Akin
A growing list of Republicans and conservatives are calling for longtime Republican adviser Karl Rove to step away from GOP campaign efforts after the strategist jested that he might have to murder Rep. Todd Akin, R-Mo.
William Murray, who heads the Government is Not God Political Action Committee and chairs the Religious Freedom Coalition, said today that the comment “was so distasteful as to shame the entire Republican Party.”
“Congressman Akin made a misstatement on the subject of rape and conception for which he apologized,” he said. “Apparently Karl Rove believes the apology is not enough and that Akin should pay with his life. Jokes about murder are not jokes when it comes to politicians where the risks of assassination are real.”
Conservative icon and founder of the Eagle Forum Phyllis Schlafly echoed the calls for Rove’s resignation........

I hope frogface Turdblossom walks the plank.
However, I suspect his arrogant, condescending foul presence will be with us for some time.
GWB gave us this walking, talking turd.
I don’t have an opinion on Akin good or bad.
I do have an opinion on Rove, I hate him with a purple passion!
‘This is far worse than anything Todd Akin said’
This is grounds for getting rid of Rove!!!
