Karl Rove Is a Hillary Clinton Blood Clot Truther
 
The Fear and Desparation of the GOP is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

Quote:

Over the weekend, Karl Rove repeatedly suggested that Hillary Clinton has had a brain injury, dredging up an early conspiracy theory questioning Clinton's ability to run for president.“Thirty days in the hospital?" Rove told a conference audience, according to Page Six, "And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.” A spokesperson for Clinton's team responded that her heath was "100 per cent. Period," adding, "Karl Rove has deceived the country for years, but there are no words for this level of lying."

Here's the back story, in case you've forgotten. Late in 2012, Clinton caught a bad case of the flu. The illness left her dehydrated, from which she fainted — just before the then Secretary of State was set to testify on the Benghazi attacks. The fall gave her a concussion. After spending a few days in the hospital for treatment (hardly the 30 that Rove suggested), doctors discovered a blood clot, for which she was also treated.

Soon after Clinton's opponents gave up suggesting that her fall and ensuing blood clot was a fake illness and a Benghazi cover-up, whispers swung in a different direction, suggesting that Clinton wasn't recovering as well as her team indicated. Clinton reportedly suffered no permanent damage from the fall — the blood clot was not a stroke — and was set for a full recovery. For a time, she wore glasses designed to correct lingering double vision from the fall. Eventually, Clinton gave her delayed testimony before the House committee.

Bush's 'Brain' knows brain damage when he see's it? How ironic.:rolleyes:

barbara 05-13-2014 10:53 AM

Hey.... I wear those same kind of glasses and I never had any brain injury.

The glasses are to correct double vision. The causes of double vision are many....not just from brain injury.

Ike Bana 05-13-2014 11:23 AM

I know I'm sounding like a broken 180g LP but...they know they've lost 5 of the last 6 popular votes and they're staring down the greazy chute of it being 6 of the last 7. They know that no matter how hard they have tried to demonize Hillary, insult Hillary's looks, and blame shit on her that was the responsibility of the CIA...she remains the most popular political figure in the country.

They're fucked and they know it...so it's even more desperation.

Rove should be in prison, Cheney should be in prison, Armitage should be in prison, Libby should still be in prison. And...the DOJ under the full specific direction of Barack Obama argued with the Bush administration people that the Wilsons did not have grounds to sue Rove, Cheney, Armitage and Libby in civil court. In some ways, I guess I'm saying, Obama oughta be in prison with his four colleagues.

bobabode 05-13-2014 11:36 AM

I'm betting that Obama feels like he's been in prison for the last 5 1/2 years already. ;) You forgot Ollie North and Ronald Reagan.

mezz 05-13-2014 02:10 PM

Nominating someone with brain damage would seem about right for democrats these days.

North should definitely be in prison. Reagan...he was given his just desserts by his own brain matter.

But that shitbag G. Gordon Liddy should still be in prison as well. One of the few major disappointments I had with Jimmy Carter was his dopey commutation of Liddy's sentence "...in the interest of equity and fairness based on a comparison of Mr. Liddy's sentence with those of all others convicted in Watergate related prosecutions.":rolleyes:

Herr Rovener is the worst though. If I bumped into him on the street I might not be able to stop myself from beating him within an inch of his life. One of the finest TV moments I ever experienced was Rove coming completely unhinged, election night 2012 (uh...and watching Megyn Kelly strutting her stuff to the back room to show Karl how stupid he was acting).

You just reminded me. That fucker Carter pardoned all of those yellow bellied draft dodgers that went to Canada.

I would have had those hippie shitbags shot as soon as they stepped back across the border.

I'm a liberal, but Goddamn!

Ahhh, yes. "Is this the math that Republican's use to make yourselves feel better?" Megyn to Rove.

I caught it live because I'm an evil sumbitch liberal Democrat and I wanted to gloat as they reported Ohio for Obama on Faux Noise.:D

I got a kick out the rumors that 'Anonymous' had erected a firewall within the voting machine programming to keep Romney's kid from switching the votes to his Dad.

Hey!!! You think I wanted to join the Marine Corps??? I had a major fiscal consideration...the inheritance or Canada.

You made the right choice.

The way I see it we both took our bite of the shit sandwich even though we didn't want to.

And them dirty long haired hippies who went to Canada, they made their choice too.

And then Carter comes along and gives them all get out of jail free cards.

It's like if your mother tells you and your spoiled rotten little brother that there will be no Saturday morning cartoons unless you eat your Brussels sprouts. So you choke them down and your little brother doesn't touch his.

Then along comes Saturday morning and Mom lets up and lets the little fuck watch his cartoons anyway.

I'd forgotten all about how Carter had pardoned those Goddamned draft dodgers!

Fuck!

Now I'm pissed off all over again.

Makes me wanna go out right now and find some old hippie draft dodger and beat the living shit out of him!

I'm not sure exactly what we're gonna do about this, since regardless of my service, I'm still an old hippie draft dodger...at heart anyways. I have a few friends who came back after the Carter action and even though I don't smoke the herb anymore, whenever I see them I get this warm little buzz.

MrPots 05-14-2014 04:00 PM

I've never in my life heard of glasses for severe brain injury. Rove is a dick. He also fronts the republican party, so what does that say about republicans?

Repeat after me...

I have no issue with refusing to go.

I do have an issue with not having the balls to suffer any consequences for it.

If you say, "This is screwed up and dumb. I'm not going, come get me?" Then, wait for the police?

You're not a shitbag.

No problem at all.

I was one myself in the run up to the Iraq War.

Went to about a dozen of the local ones.

But I think Carter's pardoning of the slimy little fucks that ran off to Canada was a slap in the face to everyone who has ever served in the Armed Forces of the United States.

Including Confederate soldiers.

Cool. We saw the make up of the demonstrators shift to vets and parents of the 58,000 war dead in 1970-71 in DC. It was a dramatic change. If I had been a few years older, I would've split for Canada or Europe. No shame in that my friend.

This is like Benghazi. Throw it out there and even if it does not stick, suspicion has been planted. Similar to Obama's birther's, Kerry and the swift boaters. Even Obama's middle name was a hint, hint. There is a term for this tactic and is quite effective in politics that escapes me.

Could the word be something like War on Women, Racist, The Party of No, Fox Lies. Kind of like the right?

Finally, some truth out of 5 below. Guilty on all 4 counts.

And WTF do you know about the war on women, eh asswipe? Ever escorted a terrified 19 year old through a crowd of hysterical christians screaming "murderer" and waving posters with pictures of bloody pig viscera? I have...a number of times, back in the old days before the local authorities finally decided these assholes needed to keep their distance. I know all about the war on women. You don't know jack fucking shit about it.

It has to do with the duality of man.

Oh, this does give me gas. One is some kind of loathsome if one does whatever it takes to avoid getting fucking killed or maimed, while participated in the killing and maiming of millions, in a war that just about everyone agrees is screwed-up and dumb?

I am retired career Army, 20-odd years, and was totally draftable in the 1960s, so I enlisted to have a say in the process. I have family in Canada and have put some thought into that end of the equation. It seemed to me it took something extra-ordinary to leave family and friends with Stateside connections cut on principle while rolling the dice on an uncertain future legal status, rather than just shrugging one's shoulders, raising one's hand and essentially saying "what-ever", and going along with what was expected instead of standing up for what one believed and putting it on the line.
I was not sufficiently emotionally invested in opposition to "The War" to make that commitment and have nothing against those that did, I think Carter did the country a favor by cutting that cord to a still-highly controversial past policy and letting them get on with their lives as history was on their side.

Because I played by the rules and they cheated and Carter let them get away with it.

I couldn't agree with you less. I feel cheated by Carters actions.

I believe in a nation governed by the rule of law and try to comply, but if I was faced with an ethical dilemma similar to German citizens under the 3rd Reich and was aware of the implications, I would hope I'd have the strength of character to follow my standards rather than going along with the expectations of the regime.

Running away to Canada didn't show strength of character. It was an act of weakness.

This is what strength of character would looks like.

I know about Baron Von Stauffenberg and the so-called July 20th plot, he definitely put it all on the line for what he believed and I'm sure was aware of the consequences if he failed.
We'll have to agree to disagree about the expat protesters, they had balls IMO.

It's a sore spot for me.

I can't be objective about it.

Besides this is supposed to be a Rove bashing thread.

Karl Rove sucks Sixteen Inch Donkey Dicks.

Pio1980 05-14-2014 10:33 PM

IIRC Karl attended the high school (Olympus) south of mine (Highland) which is on the grounds of the prison where Joe Hill was held and excecuted as I previously mentioned.
Sixteen inches is pretty good, he should be doing donkey shows in Juarez.

BlueStreak 05-15-2014 07:08 AM

Karl Rove is such an honest and ethical man who would never dream of spreading rumors and innuendo. Why, he's a Republican and such skullduggery just wouldn't be moral.:rolleyes:

Here's an interesting viewpoint from the Daily Kos;

This is what made him brilliant gaming the American political system, it's also how/why I came to despise the Republican party.
