If the debt was such a big problem why didn't Rove and his minions address it in the last 20 years? They didn't seem to be bothered when Bush had his deficits. Why is it suddenly only an Obama-sourced problem (not to say that it isn't a problem, but it sure isn't Obama's fault)? If this isn't election-timed rhetoric, what is? Rove is a sick man bought and paid for by the elites to promote their interests, something his black greedy heart relishes. Rove is not an elected official. He deserves no better treatment or respect just because he's wearing a suit and standing behind a podium. He is the hired propagandist who profits without morals. If conservatives find the behavior of the OWS abhorrent here then how can they explain the times when their counterparts did whatever they could to shout out their elected officials at town hall meetings? Their sole purpose was to disrupt the meetings so they wouldn't take place. They succeeded. And the lack of a constructive dialogue between our elected officials and their constituency suffered as a result. No way can anyone conveniently blame this type of disruption on just one ideology.

I thought the same thing. The hypocrisy of these people is truly stunning.

Actually I don't but I do recall from say 2008 and 2009 where there was a concerted and unfortunately successful effort by conservatives to shout down everything at town hall meetings across the country. I believe this occurred when the health care debate was in full swing. I thought it was utterly destructive. Elected officials were at the point that they feared to even meet with their constituency in public. The reason I mention this is because I know someone will say that OWS people are horrible for doing this while conveniently forgetting how their 'side' resorted to and succeeded in using the same tactics.

More importantly, Rove is the LAST person a sane individual should be listening to.

Love it.

See, this is where the Left is all wrong - they think "normal" people approve of this kind of behavior. They think its cool and proves....something.

Rove was masterful. He really owned those loons.
