Karl, Karl, Karl
Karl, Karl, Karl. Rove recently leveled some charges at the liberal blogosphere, labeling them an avenue “to mobilize hate and anger” at conservatives and democrats who stray too far from the one, true path. Oh, yes, they are also “very out-of-the-mainstream.”
Same old talking points. It makes sense, seeing as he’s the one who writes them.
I question whether I should contradict these points, but, what the Hell, what is this blog for if not to counter the malevolent influence of Karl Rove?
First of all, there is a lot of anger on liberal blogs. People have good reason to be angry with a government that explodes the national debt, sinks the country into a disastrous war, violates international law, and passes ceaseless tax cuts for Thurston Howell and his idiot sons while allowing companies to pump poisons into the land, water, and air. Did you here that, nowadays, there’s so much mercury in tuna that Consumer Reports recommends that pregnant women never eat it?
Secondly, talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Have you ever read right-wing blogs? Jesus H Christ, those psychos are twenty minutes and a six-pack away from stoning media show hosts and hanging democrats.
Thirdly, who the Hell is out of the mainstream? A majority of people in this country favor raising taxes to provide healthcare for all Americans and enacting a universal health care system. The majority support cuts in military spending, a balanced budget, and increased spending for education and veteran’s benefits. These are all things that Rove and his ilk have opposed for years.
This truth is that whatever Karl Rove says, you can be sure the truth is almost diametrically opposite. His administration and the republican-controlled congress have approval rating in the thirties. A majority of people think the president is dishonest. A majority of people think the country is on the wrong track. They are the ones who are no longer in the mainstream. In fact, they never have been in the mainstream. A majority of the people who sent them to office were painfully ignorant about the positions and performance of this administration.
Rove already knows all of this because few human beings on Earth understand polls or political manipulation better than Karl. Karl just says what he says because he’s a proven liar who has made a career out of banking on the ignorance and fear of Americans.
