Absolutely unbelievable - Rove is evil...

i can't count the number of times i've said that i believe that karl rove is the most dangerous man in america... (a few just for starters, here, here, and here...) now, he's gone and shown us all just what a vile a man he is...

"Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers," Rove said. "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war.... Conservatives saw what happened to us on 9/11 and said we will defeat our enemies. Liberals saw what happened to us and said we must understand our enemies.... No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals," Rove said.

i've been pooh-pooh'd for giving rove too much credit but my gut has always told me that this man is evil... his combination of intellectual genius and ruthless malevolence is truly appalling and his fingerprints are all over every nasty machination perpetrated by bushco... john at americablog is outraged, atrios is outraged, senator harry reid is outraged, I am outraged, and WE SHOULD ALL BE OUTRAGED... CALL, WRITE, FAX, EMAIL, VISIT YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN, WRITE TO PRESIDENT BUSH, AND DEMAND THAT THIS MAN RESIGN...!

Senator Harry Reid's response:

“I am deeply disturbed and disappointed that the Bush White House would continue to use the national tragedy of September 11th to try and divide the country. The lesson our country learned on that terrible morning is that we are strongest when we unite together, that America’s power is in its common spirit of democracy and freedom.

“Karl Rove should immediately and fully apologize for his remarks or he should resign. The lesson of September 11th is not different for conservatives, liberals or moderates. It is equally shared and was repeatedly demonstrated in the weeks and months following this tragedy as Americans of all backgrounds and their elected representatives rallied behind the victims and their families, united in our common determination to bring to justice those responsible for these terrible attacks.

“It is time to stop using September 11th as a political wedge issue. Dividing our country for political gain is an insult to all Americans and to the common memory we all carry with us from that day. When it comes to standing up to terrorists, there are no Republicans or Democrats, only Americans. The Administration should be focused on uniting Americans behind our troops and providing them a strategy for success in the war on terror and the conflict in Iraq. I hope the president will join me in repudiating these remarks and urge Mr. Rove to take appropriate action to right this terrible wrong.”
