Karl Rove on Hannity: There Are 'A Lot Of Nutty Things' O'Donnell's Been Saying (VIDEO)
Talking Points Memo ^ | 09/15/2010 | Jilian Rayfield

Posted on 09/15/2010 6:19:13 AM PDT by Brices Crossroads

Karl Rove and Sean Hannity duked it out tonight over Christine O'Donnell's win in the Republican Senate primary in Delaware, with Rove, surprisingly, calling some of O'Donnell's remarks "nutty" and conceding that "this is not a race we're going to be able to win."

"This was about Mike Castle's bad votes," Rove said tonight on Fox News. "It does conservatives little good to support candidates who, at the end of the day, while they may be conservative in their public statements, do not evince the characteristics of rectitude and truthfulness and sincerity and character that the voters are looking for."

Rove pointed out that there have been a lot of questions about O'Donnell's finances, and some of her allegations against Castle. Hannity fired back that he interviewed her about all of those things.

"Did you ask her about the people who were following her home to her headquarters?" Rove asked, adding: "There are just a lot of nutty things she's been saying."

"We were looking at eight to nine seats in the Senate," he continued. "Now we're looking at seven to eight, in my opinion. This is not a race we're going to be able to win."

Karl Rove and the NRSC: So low they have to reach up to touch bottom.

Only watch to video if you do not have blood pressure issues. It shows what conservatives are up against.

I have been a loyal GOPer my whole life. That changed yesterday listening to the RNC drones trash talk one of their own nominees.

I am donating my time and money directly to candidates, like O'Donnell in Delaware, from now on. The RINO machine running the GOP needs to be terminated.

The best way to hammer the message home to the RINO clique is for the Conservative movement to pull out all the stops to make sure O'Donnell wins in Nov.

If any of you haven’t seen this outrage, the short clip of Rove—who outs himself as a quisling—is attached.

Got a call yesterday from the RNC asking me to renew my membership.

I told them that I would not be participating this year and will be contributing directly to the candidates I support from now on.

Then I said, “Goodbye,” and hung up the phone.

How do we get the message to Karl that he’s outed himself?

Please call and/or Email the GOP of Delaware to request they support O’Donnell. Even if you favored Castle, O’Donnell is our canidate and crucial for a Senate Majority.

These Republican, would be leaders are modeling every behavior they’ve lectured conservatives for years to avoid. And I think it’s significant that their wrath is turned on a conservative.

The architect? I don’t like the plans he’s drawn up.

Why is it when someone attacks a RINO, Rove and company quote Reagan’s 11th commandment (”Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”) to silence the attack, but now that Tea Party candidates are winning, they ignore this commandment?

This Revolution truly needs to be from the grass roots up. The dead branches at the top need to be pruned.
I want my party back.
