Book:Karl Rove advised Komen to restore Planned Parenthood funding

dailycaller.com ^ | 9-10-12 | Alex Pappas

[STARWISE]

The author of a new book charges that prominent Republican strategist Karl Rove advised the leader of breast cancer group Susan G. Komen for the Cure to restore funding to Planned Parenthood earlier this year.

Rove’s advice, according to “Planned Bullyhood,” came as Susan G. Komen for the Cure found itself embroiled in a public relations fiasco after announcing it would stop giving money to Planned Parenthood, which has clinics that perform abortions.

In response to protests from pro-choice and other liberal activists, Komen eventually reversed course and announced it would restore funding to Planned Parenthood as the organization did not want to be viewed as political.

Karen Handel — the former Komen senior vice president who resigned during the episode — writes in her book, “Planned Bullyhood,” that Rove was among those advising the organization to reverse course.

In the book, Handel recalls Susan G. Komen for the Cure CEO Nancy Brinker telling her that “I’ve talked to a lot of people. And even Karl says we have to backtrack.”

Handel, who said she didn’t know who “Karl” was at first, recalls Brinker clarifying that she was talking about Rove.

“Planned Bullyhood” is being released Tuesday. Steven Ertelt of LifeNews.com reported the revelation in the book on Monday.

If the allegation is true, it would mean that Rove was advising Komen to restore Planned Parenthood funding as Mitt Romney and the other Republican candidates for president were railing against it.

Rove did not immediately return a request for comment from The Daily Caller.

There ya go .. if true, the core character and conservative values of the verbal sniper and snarker who reared his ugly head in the Christine O'Donnell matter is apparently the real Karl... a man of no consistent conservative compass, values or ethics. Nice going, Karl .. Fox yourself outta this one ..

But why? To what end and benefit for him? Politics: thy name is filth.

[STARWISE]

..dang!

[Just mythoughts]

Hence Rove’s joke about the demise of Akin. Rove is pro-abortion as much as is the GOP-e. To these Republicans ‘abortion’ is settled law and settled ‘science’, it is the minority knuckledraggers they despise.

[AHerald]

Rove, you magnificent bastard.

[GeronL]

RINO’s in the GOPe are not on our side people.

[robowombat]

What is it about our leadership (so called) group that makes infanticide and queer sex the most morally compelling issues to support, relentlessly assist and defend. I am secular but there are times when it seems impossible not to see that satanic forces have gained control of the souls of tens of thousands of the ‘political and cultural elite’ of the US. One has to shudder for the judgment to come. This behavior which is a positive embrace of evil and perversion exceeds anything in our national history.

[JCBreckenridge]

All praise Romney and the munificent GOP establishment. *Barf*

[Viennacon]

Bah, Rove is a Rino. He embodies the establishment. Let’s be honest. The money is all we use him for. When was the last time we asked Rove for an idea?

[nickcarraway]

Is this a surprise?

[Vendome]

Just ducky...

[wardaddy]

Karl Rove is such a dick.

to think folks here used to think he walked on water...like Colin Powell or Condi

not me buddy

i knew right away that bunch were race and sex baiting moderates at best

had Bush not had a war he woulda been trashed by conservatives much quicker

just look at Laura..a genteel lady no doubt...but a social liberal just like the daughters she raised

you just cannot be a strong values conservative and marry someone like that and have kids turn out so lefty if you are not soft

or very unlucky...with the kids that is..it ain’t just kid rebellion...the one is NYC is hardcore lefty on social issues

the Romney family...hard as it is to believe may actually be more socially conservative overall...once you get past Mitt’s convictions of sand

The Rove name has a knack for turning up in less than honorable places.

But hey...his PAC has LOTS of money...

That's right GOPanne

[STARWISE]

Honestly, if this brazen departure from the deepest
of conservative values he inferred he had by his
intimate affiliations, especially with Pres. Bush,
who’s deeply pro life ... yes.

The man obviously must be completely unscrupulous ..
just another hack makin’ jack off the game, playing
both sides. Disgusting ..

May he reap the whirlwind ..

[Truthsearcher]

If true is the key word here, so far I see nothing but hearsay.

[Just mythoughts]

I was 'secular' until the Clintons ruled US. One can look back since our founding there has always been a satanic force lurking. Last century is when Christian America in majority, turned away from following the Creator and began to look to government as their source of survival.

It is surreal to watch day in and day out as the 4 pillars of any civil society, politics, economy, education, and religion become the very tools by which evil forces are using to destroy US.

[ansel12]

The Rove/Romney/Rockefeller party.

PELLEY: Well, the platform as written at this convention for the Republicans does not allow for exceptions on abortion with regard to the health of the mother or rape or incest. Is that where you are?

ROMNEY: “No. My position has been clear throughout this campaign. I’m in favor of abortion being legal in the case of rape and incest, and the health and life of the mother.”

[Chgogal]

It is disheartening. Rove is a disgusting useless porker that unfortunately is on our side. He and his cohorts will hand this election over to Obama. Mark my words.

I think to get a head on this issue in a more cunning way we have to:

1. Agree that it is settled law.
2. Change the language from abort to killing/extinguishing the child.
3. Do and communicate extensive research on how aborting/killing/extinguishing the child affects the mother years after the aborting/killing/extinguishing of the child has occurred.
4. Smile and agree that the mother today can chose to abort/extinguish/kill her child but it is a shame that the child cannot chose to live, under today's law. It is a shame that millions of mothers chose death instead of life, but say it with a wistful empathetic smile.
5. Liberal Billionaires and Millionaires, through charity, should fund the abortions instead of the American Tax Payer.

[liberty or death]

I don’t think he’s “Pro Abortion”. What he is is an absolute political coward. For whatever reason he always seeks the easy way out. Following his advice will lead to disaster after Romney/Ryan win. The Rom/Ry ticket needs to stay focused on tax reform and states rights. The RNC needs to find a way to get Rove retired and to STFU.

Daily Caller and book review writer Alex Pappas' tweets make Alex Pappas appear to be some kind of a leftist liberal. It would be classic liberal strategy for a liberal to toss out even more negatives about Karl Rove during this contentious time and run-up to an election where some conservatives wish for Obama to move into a new residence in January 2013. Yet many times it seems that taking it on the chin is what conservatives do best.

The book may in fact be completely factual. However it is well documented that libs are playing both ends against the middle, namely us. Reading and believing anything written by a leftist at this time is risky, in my opinion, anyway.

It's odd though that leftist Huffington Post's review of the book contained no mention of Karl Rove:

Huffington Post: 'Planned Bullyhood': Karen Handel Blames Komen Backlash On Planned Parenthood in Memoir

It's possible that leftist Alex Pappas wrote a straight book review about a book which includes only the truth and revelations of atrocities committed by Karl Rove, but this conservative sure wouldn't count on it.

Below is a link to an uploaded photo sent to Alex Pappas on twitter from one of his friends, with part of the url reading "honey-pot-homocon."

If the allegation is true, it would mean that...

To Hell with the vetting, just give us more meat to gnaw on... /s

Pathetic.

[Bobloblaw2012]

I coming to despise everything about the GW Bush administration. We wouldn’t be in this mess if Gore had won in 2000. By that I mean obamacare and Obama. Conservatives are going to have to accept the fact we are in this mess because of the Iraq war. No Iraq war, no Obama and no GOP wipeout in 2006, 2008.

[SoFloFreeper]

Let’s consider these points...if Rove did really do this, why wouldn’t huffpost mention it??

[Irenic]

“We should sink Todd Akin. If he’s found mysteriously murdered, don’t look for my whereabouts!”

“We have to keep in mind whose vote we’re trying to get—it ain’t the delegate from Alaska. It’s not the alternate from Alabama. It’s some undecided voter in the battleground state who likes the president.”

Rove is all about the vote, I can respect that. But you don’t deny your own family to buy trinkets for the mistress and her children.

Bird in hand and all...

[Psalm 144]

“The Rove/Romney/Rockefeller party.”

Yep. People try to rationalize with the GOPe distinction. That is understandable but ultimately self defeating. The “GOPe” directs and controls the GOP. It is what it is and it is the GOP. It is not a friend of conservatives, and will continue to ignore conservatives when it is not exploiting them. It will not be taken over by the Tea Party either. Instead, it has for the most part corrupted of coopted the Tea Party.

No credible party represents conservatives and small ‘l’ libertarians. One will emerge, but not yet.

[who knows what evil?]

RINO’s in the GOPe are not on our side people.

That is why pro-life conservatives in the Northeast despair at election time...here in NH; our choice in one congressional district is Republican pro-death butcher Charles Bass vs. Democrat pro-death butcher Annie (Satan's Daughter) McLane-Kuster.

[newfreep]

Other RINO “leaders” include Bush, Bush Jr, McCain, Rubio...

[Happy Rain]

Karl Rove is Soros’s most influential mole.

[Alberta's Child]

That’s also why the Republican Party only adopted “conservative” ideas after Southerners, rural voters and conservative Christians from other areas of the U.S. began turning away from a Democratic Party that had become dominated by Marxists and other assorted misfits.

[Travis McGee]

Yep. He has always been a RINO progressive dork.

[mazda77]

As for me, he had some time ago fallen into the same professional description as I had for the Carville/Matlin marriage. Nothing but a bunch of POLITIAL WHORES.

I am furthermore leaning that way on Hannity as well. I just won’t listen to him when he starts his referee game with two people gouging their eyes out with all the screaming back and forth while he sets on the ropes and watches.

Just yesterday I turn on the radio and he is starting a conversation with Stuart Varney and all of a sudden he switches to Juan Williams and my radio switched off. He is so deficient of being able to participate in any debate so he calls in his pinch hitters to go against someone like that color bigot Williams.

[mazda77]

So, can you yank your head out of the sand or will you need some help? On all days to come out with that load of crap is just telling, just telling.

I have my issues with the Bush administration, but the wars as a result of this day is just plain poppycock to put it nicely. But I prefer to use Bull Squeeze.

[mazda77]

Hey folks, we got us another Noob and a lawyer type as well.

Zot?

[LibLieSlayer]

He also talked thad cochran into voting for it in the senate. rove is NOT the friend of Conservatives... Liberty or Freedom.

LLS

[freedomfiter2]

Rove is a disgusting useless porker that unfortunately is on our side.

He’s not on our side. The GOPe is the greatest threat to America we face today. Until we defeat them, we’ll never win over the marxists and the Islamo fascists.

[MayflowerMadam]

Seeing Rove and Trippi on together on Fox kinda creeps me out. It seems that they’re going steady or something. Just... eeeewwww. Rove is a lib. It would be good if he’s just hand over the PAC money and STFU.

[liberalh8ter]

One more reason we must drive Karl Rove from Washington. He's a democrat-Lite.

[LibLieSlayer]

sean and Varney both let juan get away with the gm success story... and I could have destroyed juan and the new chicom gm in three sentences... lightweights at best... and varney knows the truth but sean will not allow the real truth to air. He might get the Beck treatment.

LLS

[newfreep]

Tokyo Rove lives down to his true name....

[Pinkbell]

I don’t know whether this is true, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it was because Karl Rove is an establishment, moderate Republican. The establishment Republicans have to have us conservatives on board to win elections, but it would be easier for them if they didn’t have to pander. In private, Karl Rove could show his true colors, thinking no one would find out.

[PGalt]

Interesting. Thanks to all posters. DEFUND anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-life collectives and their enablers. DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.

1. Agree that it is settled law.

Never.

An unjust 'law' is no law at all.

Cordially,

[Jordo]

This is the most depressing NH primary I’ve seen since I moved here. I’m about to go vote, and I still haven’t decided which non-Bass republican to cast my futile vote for. Some of their campaigns are so pathetic they don’t even have web sites. Any suggestions? I’m leaning toward the guy who escaped from Communist Poland. It would be fun hearing the media flacks try to pronounce his name.

My state house choices are nearly as bad. 3 incumbents and 1 newcomer competing for 3 seats. One of the incumbents is a total RINO union stooge, voted against right-to-work in the last session. But I can’t find ANY info about the newcomer’s positions. What if he’s worse than the RINO? Ugh!

[presently no screen name]

I vote zot. This newbie needs an education - he’s posting like a mindless idiot. We certainly couldn’t expect him to fight for America but turn his back on her and he picked today to show his hatred for America? How telling!!

[NKP_Vet]

All RINOs are pro-abortion. When you think it’s fine to murder the baby if you don’t who the father is, you are pro-abortion. That was George W. Bush’s stance, that was Dick Cheney’s stance, and every other RINO that surrounded Bush. Of course that was Bush’s Brain Karl Rove’s stance. If Romney wins, he will stack his cabinet with RINOs and diehard pro-abortion liberals. He did it in Mass as governor and he will do it as president. So even though he would be 1000 times better than abortion on-demand Obummer, Romney will never be a big pro-life advocate. That is just fact.
And Karl Rove will deny this charge.

[montag813]

And this is the milquetoast douchebag who billionaires are handing $300 million this year to run lame, ineffective, Obama’s-a-nice-guy-in-over-his-head ads. What a waste (except for Karl, who will make tens of millions for himself).

[CatherineofAragon]

"RINO’s in the GOPe are not on our side people."

In fact, I would say their stupidity puts them square in the enemy column. Earlier this morning, I had to turn off Fox in disgust. Andy Card was on, discussing Bush's determination to protect the country from terrorism. He said we could be thankful President Obama shares that determination.

Right! That's why Hussein skips out on half of his National Security briefings. Card's pathetically ignorant naivete is nothing short of dangerous; he and his fellow GOP-e are clueless to what we are dealing with.

[onyx]

Karl Rove has always been the enemy within.

Rove has no core values.

Reminds me of Al Davis, the now deceased Oakland Raider’s owner: “just win, baby win,” and never mind how. Lie and cheat.

He alone, ruined GWB with BAD advice.

GHWB’s advice was awful enough, but he’s his daddy.

Too liberal, too nice, and never fought back.

Rove is evil.

[who knows what evil?]

New England ‘Republicans’ are actually to the LEFT of many southern Democrats...
