THE NEW MCCARTHYISM

E.J. is almost right-on here, but he errs when he says this about the bile spilling out of Karl Rove's fat face:
Rove's instantly famous speech last week to the New York State Conservative Party should be read in light of this history and not be written off as a cheap, one-time partisan attack. On the contrary, the address by Rove, President Bush's most important adviser, provides the outlines of a sophisticated strategy aimed at making liberals and Democrats all look soft on terrorism.

Here are the key passages: "Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers. In the wake of 9/11, conservatives believed it was time to unleash the might and power of the United States military against the Taliban; in the wake of 9/11, liberals believed it was time to submit a petition. . . . 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.'"
This is pathetic shit, but it is most assuredly not the worst of it.

This is the worst of it:
Speaking at a conservative fund-raiser in New York on Wednesday, presidential adviser Karl Rove criticized liberals for responding inadequately to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Rove also suggested that Sen. Dick Durbin's comments about conditions at Guantanamo Bay have endangered American troops. "Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger," Rove said. "No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals."
What. A. Fucker.

He's saying that the criticism of the war effort from the left is intended to kill Americans serving abroad in our armed forces.

He is filth.
