Thread: a classic from Karl Rove! "McCain has gone too far"

Man, you can't make this stuff up!

Here's Karl Rove, on Fox News, lambasting McCain for his attack ads:

Karl Rove: McCain's Ads Have Gone Too Far (VIDEO)

McCain has received a heaping dose of criticism late this week for launching a series of advertisements that could be categorized as dishonest if not downright lies. The Obama camp, in a memo to reporters Sunday morning -- entitled a "Dishonorable, Dishonest Campaign" -- highlighted a number of these pieces. Joe Klein, of Time magazine called one spot the "sleaziest" he had ever seen. Paul Krugman of the New York Times, defined the episode as a "blizzard of lies." On Sunday, the St. Petersburg Times, ran an editorial entitled: "Campaign Of Lies Disgraces McCain," while the Chicago Tribune's Steve Chapman, wrote that "to McCain the truth is expendable."

You gotta wonder about this, don't you? Here's Bush's brain - the top advisor to the Liar-In-Chief, accusing McCain of lying! What's going on here?

By all means give us some samples of these lies.

Sure. Piece o' cake. (Did you watch the video?)

Rove was referring specifically to the charges that McCain was making about Obama's tax plan, and to a disputed assertion that ended up on the factcheck.org site.

Those charges are untrue -- and repeated day after day by Republicans who know better. Another lie is that Obama plans to raise taxes on all senior citizens, even though he has proposed eliminating those taxes for seniors making less than $50,000 a year.

It is distressing that McCain would go this way, because eight years ago when he ran against Bush, he was the victim of Rove's lies. That year, the Bush campaign, or people hired by the campaign, did push-polling, calling voters to ask: "Would it change your opinion of John McCain if you knew he was the father of a black child?" (The McCains, as you probably know, have an adopted daughter, born in Bangladesh, who has dark skin.)

This is the SAME Karl Rove who authored the "black love child" smear.

Now, what was your question again?

You know you have gone to far when Karl Rove lectures you about lying to much! (That's like the American Nazi party chastising the KKK for going to far with their racist rhetoric!)

He said they both have gone too far. Big deal.

Wait. Last I checked, Rove was working for the McCain campaign. What the spork?

Smells to me like Rover couldn't sit still and is back out of retirement.

Is Karl Rove still free to roam the Earth?

I thought he was locked in a plexiglass prison like the bad guy in the second x-men movie.

That or in a full body and head restraint like Silence of the Lambs.
