For a moment this Sunday, the yard outside White House senior adviser Karl Rove's home looked like a scene from "On the Waterfront."

In the screen version, Karl Malden's parish priest finds his church surrounded by union toughs who bang their clubs on the basement windows in an effort to intimidate those inside attending a meeting on dockside corruption. In the real-life Beltway version, nine busloads of activists "stormed" (the Washington Post's word) Mr. Rove's yard, blocking the street, surrounding both sides of the house and pounding on the windows at a time when he was inside with his 15-year-old son and his son's friend.

Considering the source is pro-immigration, part of me is pleased to see Karl Rove get his comeuppance. On the other hand, the other part of me is repelled by the Left's thuggish assaults on every one they consider their enemy - which includes Rove.

I find it interesting that this group that supports immigration seems to be importing the third world, thuggish, (potentially) violent ethos of the third world into this country...

From the atricle, I've got a mental flashback of Mogidishu, which a bunch of savages dragging corpses down the street.

Don't count on this changing the pro-illegal alien mindset over at the Wall Street Journal. The irony is the thugs were shouting for the passage of Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch's much misnamed DREAM Act, that would repeal the federal law prohibiting in-state tuition in colleges and universities for the adult offspring of illegal aliens.

ALL of me is appalled that any self-respecting freeper would look remotely favorably on such tactics as displayed here, regardless of their stand on the issues.

I have mixed feelings about Karl Rove. All I can say is let's hope he now sees the Left for what they really are. I'm not only one tired of the Bush Administration trying to be overly nice to them and the response they get is hate and people who seek to intimidate into silence the perceived foes of handouts to illegal aliens. Rove hasn't been one of those folks so its a mystery the pro-immigrant Left targeted him for this kind of a reception in the first place.

I agree, this is way beyond "Get out of Cheney's House!" stuff. Mr. Rove should send them the bill for damage to his yard and landscaping.

It is curious that the leftists are upping the ante on what they will do to get people's attention. We must all anticipate physical confrontations when we FReep from now through election day. There will be some pissed off leftists after that.

This kind of tactic is appalling.I googled and found they are listed on the Common Dreams site with a large group of "Progressive" organizations that include Peaceful Tomorrows,The National Lawyers Guild,Amnesty International,etc.

Send Delta in. They kicked some a$$ in Mogadishu.

Still, a howling mob has to be unsettling.

Karl Rove and Freepers feelings about him notwithstanding, the animus towards him that i saw from Freepers on the thread about this incident totally repulsed me. That anyone would find this sort of reprehensible activity justified as a COMEUPPANCE is barbaric.

Karl should chill. They are just doing the tresspassing that Americans won't do.

Now Rove knows how the rest of us feel about have our country invaded by illegal aliens. The Left invaded and trashed his property - no, there's no excuse for that kind of behavior and it goes to show you can't expect to be gracious to these people and not expect to be bitten. They're a pit bull that will bite you without warning.

Poor Karl Rove - he wants amnesty for illegals, but they want more and more and more. What's the new plan to buy the illegal vote, Mr. Rove? How about 1)free healthcare and 2)free k-college education and 3)welfare, for not only the illegals already in this country, but also all citizens of Mexico? Yea, that would work.

"Then again, some protesters are apparently more equal than others. If Mr. Rove had been an abortion doctor, we'd probably be hearing calls for restraining orders and the enforcement of racketeering laws against those demonstrating."

This is SO true! Pro-lifers would have been handcuffed and jailed!

This is OUTRAGEOUS!

Funny how the elite get enraged when these people swarm their gated communities while the rest of us are expected to shut up and put up with the sight of our country going down the bottom!

It's good that Rove is getting a taste of the result of hispandering.

Many Americans have been trying to deal with the thuggery of illegals in their yards, etc., without much help from LEO's.

Now, the thugs supporting the illegals have the audacity to march in protest.

Rove, I hope they stay on your yard until you get a clue and stop the hispandering to illegals.

Amen to that. Rove wants illegals in everyone's neighborhood but his own. Next time this happens I'm going over to Rove's casa to hand out free beer to his beloved illegals.
