Rove taunted in Iowa
Poor Karl, he's so misunderstood.
Former top Bush aide Karl Rove didn't get the friendliest of receptions at the University of Iowa Sunday, CNN affiliate KCRG reports.
Rove, who was paid $40,000 to speak at the University, was confronted with an at-times hostile crowd of 1,000, and was interrupted on several occasions.
Police also were forced to remove two people after they tried to perform a citizen’s arrest on Rove for what they said were his crimes while a member of the Bush Administration.
At one point, a person asked Rove if he has ever shed a tear over the war in Iraq.
"I shed a lot of tears and I have been inspired by many of the people who feel their son or daughter should not have to die in vain," he replied.
Toward the end of the speech a member of the crowd yelled, "Can we have our $40,000 back?"
Rove replied, “No, you can't.”
(h/t Mike F.) Here's a little interesting tidbit from KCRG:
Rove only allowed journalists to videotape the first few minutes of his remarks. After that, the media had to turn off all cameras and tape recorders.
CITIZENS ARREST!!!!!
I read some students attempted a citizens arrest on Rove. Are we still hounding Kissinger for his war crimes? If not, we should be.
he is scum
in other news, geraldine ferraro is an idiot

"Police also were forced to remove two people after they tried to perform a citizen’s arrest on Rove for what they said were his crimes while a member of the Bush Administration."
I am dying of laughter right now. Not terrorist attacks, LAUGHTER!
Maybe he will think twice before going out in public. If this kind of stuff is happening at the college level, I have hope!!
Give those 2 patriots who attempted citizens arrest of Rove a Medal of Freedom.
oh, i would have LOVED to have been there to join in concert with those kids.
I love Iowa.
waddaya mean, "had to" turn off their cameras? Is karl rove now the boss of U of Iowa?
Right. Rove sheds tears. He sheds nothing other than his skin a few times a year.
Taunted and an attempted citizens arrest in Iowa? I think it's safe to assume Rove won't attempting any speeches in San Francisco anytime soon.
"One audience member told Rove that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann named him the "worst person ever."
"Ever?" Rove joked. "Yea, worse than Hitler, worse than Stalin, worse than Mao and worse than the person who introduced aluminum baseball bats."
The difference is that Hitler, Stalin & Mao were not one of us.
The blood on Karl Rove's hands is on all of our hands as he did his evil in our name. He makes the Ted Bundeys & John Wayne Gacys of the world look like the amateurs that they are.
But even Karl & Chimpy Bush have a long way to go to reach the standards set by Henry Kissinger, a man worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Hitler, Stalin & Mao.
Public tar & feathering should be the objective.
Who are the complete and utter morans [sic] that shelled out $40K to bring the criminal loser KKKarl to speak?
Dr. Hussein Matt @ 14:
Probably Wal-Mart or Starbucks.
A team from Brazil's Labor Ministry found "degrading" living conditions for 133 sugarcane workers employed by an ethanol company whose investors include former President Clinton and other high-profile financial players.

The Iowa that elected the Husssien-middle-name-fear-mongerRep. King to Congress?
This is thanks to the excellent efforts of the student antiwar organization on Iowa's Campus, the University of Iowa Antiwar Committee, part of the Campus Antiwar Network. Whoever said that student activism is dead need look no further!
Students later protested Rove while he was at dinner after the speech with administration officials.
Rove is laughing all the way to the bank. The fools, the fools.... What me worry?
More of this, please.
This scumbag makes $40,000 for one night of speaking, while an average guy working at a factory makes less than that in a year. What a crock. Talk about an overpriced engagement.
I hope the University of Iowa's students give the schools officials hell for wasting their education money.
DC @ 19:
He's probably got the top down on his Miata while he sings along loudly to Toby Keith and scarfs down cheeseburgers.
Why did the University of Iowa invite Rove to speak?
I understand differing viewpoints on a college campus.
But with Rove, the only issue is, how do we get him to The Hague.
Komrade Karl is getting 40K a pop!!!! Anyone else amazed by this? Even in Iowa where they love Republicans..thats a whole lotta cash for Bush's Brain to talk a bit. Perhaps they were hoping for something special that hasn't seen the light of day yet?
amazing..
[dwainw, you assume incorrectly that no one but you cares. You are wrong. This has been a topic on numerous occasions in the past. You are preaching to the choir, off topic, and shouting. Your stubborn persistence reads more like spam than conversation- and it has put you on the verge of being banned. Site Monitor]
Anybody get any cell phone camera footage?
Falls straight into the "No you can't parody".
[chris-if you ever post that someone should be waterboarded or break ANY RULE IN THE COMMENTING POLICY, I’ll ban you so fast, it’ll make your head spin. Get it? Sitemonitor]
Slap an indictment on this fat little, pasty criminal already! He's gotten away with murder and then some and is now trotting around the country at $40,000 a pop and bragging about it. These students deserve kudos for speaking truth to power. Everyone in this country needs to take a lesson from them and begin to speak out against the Bush traitors to this democracy who have committed multiple impeachable offenses and need to pay the price for their crimes.
chris @ 27:
You should start wearing earplugs, your brain is starting to leak out.
Another side-effect of conservative brainwashing.
chris @ 27:
No, mr. misanthrope - the one who should be waterboarded is KKK Karl and his Cadre of Criminals in the Bush Administration. That would be just desserts for this gang of hoodlums & liars and traitors to our constitution. Get a grip on yourself, dude.
Oh that guy... Five Trips to the Grand Jury..
No wonder the newly employed "Fox News comentator" was confronted with an at-times hostile
crowd of 1,000, and was interrupted on several occasions.
and related.... Fox is loosing viewership in high numbers...
chris @ 28:
Or they could be required to take a course in logical thought and then the repub party would disappear by the end of the semester.
They should have paid Rove the $40K and shoved it up his ass and set it on fire. Power to the students! Let's not forget that Rove is only the tool and not the master. He is good at the vile things he does, but the Rove puppet masters are the one's who should go to the gallows. Our government has functioned from the beginning on compromise and gentlemanly mutual respect. Gingrich and the money crowd decided to break that contract to destroy the Democrats and destroy government oversight. In doing so, they have managed to savage the social compact. pelosi and reid will tell us that we need to play nice now. I say, no, we need some hangings first, and make nice later.

Just in case you'd like to know where to find Kissinger, I hear his chillin' with McFraud as his chief foreign policy adviser.
I'd like to know if we can have the salary we paid him to subvert our government back.
...But jail-time for Rove would suffice quite well.

"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," (Ferraro) continued. "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept."
Hoo-boy. I think Ferraro represents an "older-school" view of politics.
chris @ 28:
So the Dem party would disappear in 30 years?? Sorry, but the GOPedophile Party has the record on their disappearing act right now after 7 horrendous years. Obviously, you're party of the pathetic little 23%ers?? Hang on and soon you will find your party totally eclipsed and gone next year. Once John McTorture finishes it off with his cancer information which will be forthcoming, it will be all over but the crying for the Repturds.

Old Billy Hussein @ 40:
Guess that Ferraro forgot that Shirley Chisholm ran for president once, and Shirley didn't exactly count on luck for support. She had the courage of a lion and was not deterred by naysayers like Ferraro.
Why would this criminal asshole be asked to speak at a place of learning?
At one point, a person asked Rove if he has ever shed a tear over the war in Iraq.
“I shed a lot of tears..."
*****************************************************
Yeah, Rove shed a lot of tears all right -- unfortunately, they were most likely crocodile tears.
Either that, or tears of laughter over the way in which he successfully managed for so many years to trick the American public into trusting George W. Bush.
chris @ 47:
It would be easier to argue with you if you even produced a slightly cogent rebut regarding your first quote.
National Security is a product of overzealous attempts at nation building, and bully foreign policies.
If anybody in a foreign policy position had the capacity for critical thinking, then not only would we have the highest level of national security, but we would inherently be governed by the democratic party.
Get a job, hack.

Yep, those damn, liberal college professors are sure living it up...
Have you ever been out of your parents' basement?
(They - the college professors - aren't really living it up. That was sarcasm. College professors, and teachers in general, are not compensated well at all; although, I suppose in your case, some were over-compensated.)
chris @ 28:
what kind of data do you intend to glean from those two college students, using this intelligence gathering method, smart guy?
aren't you the moron who said only teenagers flip burgers in another thread the other day? funny that you posted that during school hours. looking at your dismissive posts re: professors further in this thread. you're not much of a fan of "edumucation" there, are you Mr. Edison...

For fuck's sake, chris, why the apostrophe in "Clinton's"? You're like a caricature of a troll; you're not even a good troll. Even you can't believe the things you are saying. Wait a second. I know the ultimate test: Who killed Vincent Foster?
Enough with the incorrect spellings already! It's so embarrassing to read people's rants when they spell every other word wrong!
If you taped 40,000 one-dollar bills end to end, they’d reach 16 millionths of the way to the moon. That’s 13 billionths the cost the war he helped create.

Frank Dufek @ 15:
Just for the record, Starbucks is a nice progressive company.....not quite Ben and Jerry's, but they offer med benefits on day one, pay almost living wages, have a very egalitarian management style (by policy, no manager ever gives an ORDER, employees are always ASKED.........also, I've observed what may be a tradition of the highest ranking person there doing the dirtiest jobs), and have a lot of green and charitable involvement.....a good number of their employees are genuinely happy working there (they seem to have a fascinating dynamic in customer interaction where they for some reason aren't getting the abuse endured by typical service workers) .
Wal-Mart conversely deserves the abuse it gets.......but even they I'm told pay their average full time worker what can be a living wage ($10-11 an hour)in some parts of the country.

SWoods @ 5:
Better yet, even high school students know what a slimeball Mr. Turdblossom Rove is in today's polarized America.
....However, the point of this article is not to recount a long list of unethical decisions. Mr. Rove would be a very interesting speaker, and having him give a Special Program address could make sense. However, he is unfit to deliver our graduation address. The point of the graduation ceremonies is to celebrate the seniors and the unforgettable time they have spent at Choate and to bring the community together around the climactic moment on the school calendar. Instead, we will be deeply divided. A graduation speaker should inspire us. More importantly, he should represent the values of the school and serve as a role model for the graduates as they enter the adult world. Rove does neither of those two things.

Hey, look, McCain snuck a video ad onto that web page!
chris @ 28:
What a terribly selfish take on their actions. It seems to me they were standing up for justice. Even if "National Security" requires the methods we are currently using, don't you think we will ultimately be held accountable for harming others in our own selfish pursuit of safety? It almost seems to me that you advocate this cowardly and illogical view of Defensive Offense (aka Foreign Policy). You're never going to do anything but upset people who mean well just to make yourself feel better. You're the self-righteous one, if I'm being fair.
When I was young and got history forced on me in school (boring) and then read some on my own of the stories of our country's founding I was filled with admiration for the struggle this country went through in its beginnings and its struggles to make good on its proclaimed ideals. I felt sure we were a new force for fairness and compassion guided by our secular Constitution. I suppose that the ugly underbelly was always there. But now the Elliot Abram's, Richard Perle's, Cheney's, Gingrichs's, Bush's have forever destroyed that noble vision. They have made war on the Constitution, our honor, and our heritage. Hanging is too good for them. As for Rove, a few years as some dude's bitch in Levenworth would be about right.
“I shed a lot of tears and I have been inspired by many of the people who feel their son or daughter should not have to die in vain,” he replied.
People with ice water in their veins don't shed tears.
It's called condensation, Karl.
Give him, and all the other people that have worked at the White House in the past seven + years, a fair trial on January 21st next year, and hang them all on January 22nd.
Rove only allowed journalists to videotape the first few minutes of his remarks.
Let me run that again:

Well, I didn't even come close to saying that, but one thing I will say...
Learn how to spell, and learn how to properly form sentences.
I have a hard time sorting through your ignorance.
And no, there isn't much difference between democrats and republicans.
You are a part of the neoconservative movement, that destroys the valid base of republicanism.
There is a huge difference between neocons and democrats, aside from the fact that all neocons are spawned from the mentally handicapped offspring of satan's tax specialist.
Just stop to proofread your next rebut, I'm sure it will be full of moral, literal, and mental errors.

Don't they have videotape of their own??

Joementum @ 78:
Hahahahaha.
You libural morans! OK, so Karl Rove and George W. Bush didn't know the weapons of mass destruction would be hid by the arabs into syrais. Gawd bless them for invading Araq to find out. So they are sending more troops to their deaths so that the ones already dead can't be said, while George W. is in, to have died in vain. That is called national security folks, Republican style. Did Karl Rove ever have anything on his mind but job one, sending Americans to their deaths to divide the country into morans and everyone else to re-elect George W. bush?
Happenstance @ 80:
Giving Nader the blame for the result in 2000, instead of realizing it was massive election fraud that was the reason, is simplistic and naive at best.
Al @ 90:
At least this guy makes sense Chris, even if it's satirical (can you say satirical?)
suck it.
40k to listen to this shithead pontificate and spew lies!!??? No fucking way I'd pay it... But I'd probably shell out 10 or even 20 bucks to watch college kids throw tomatoes at him... Provided he was tied down so he couldn't excape....
As for the hard time he got bloviating?? HAHAHA more power to those Hawkeye students. Maybe this whole rightwing lecture circuit crap ain't gonna work out for old KKKarl.... Maaaybe, the kids in this nation, at least, are getting wise to this whole rightwing bullshit fascism thing...
Maybe, the retirement/refurbishment/hideout industry for repuke assholes is gonna run right out of steam altogether... Hey, a kid can hope! Maybe if that happens, these republican bastards who have spent the majority of their professional lives over the last fifteen years or so,fucking shit up... will hafta to get down in the trenches with the rest of us rabble and get 'real' jobs for a change...
Good luck with that (NOT) Karl, the only thing you're good at is telling lies and spreading propaganda and looks like for you at least, that shit ain't selling so much anymore.. Maybe you can go cry to the Heretige foundation.. I hear they like pricks like you....They'll maybe put you up for a few nights....Damn the only thing that would have made this story better would be a mudpie slapped in his kisser...............................JD

Karl Rove should be held in contempt of Congress
Another reason the Bush Administration needs to continue it's spying and dirty data mining....
--> black mail.
Conyers and others in Congress are most likely is being blackmailed....
If they take any action on impeachment of Bush or Cheney ... or pursue the investigation of Rove and other Bush officials in the political prosecution of Siegelman... those in congress will be met with a heightened investigation.
Bush is protecting chief members of the Republican Party who targeted Siegelman, including Rove.
Just wait.
It wont be long though. Soon more people will be able to talk.
I highly recommend the viewing of European movies detailing the end of WWII for instruction in the proper way to handle fascist collaborators after achieving victory.

Rather than ask for their lousy $40,000 back, I just read the Iraq war has a price tag, so far, of 3 TRILLION DOLLARS....
that's $3,000,000,000,000.
That comes out to $10,000 for every man, woman and child in America.
Nice going, Karl. And the world is FAR more dangerous than before we got there. So next time, ask him for YOUR $10,000 back.
The crowd was also screened for mirrors, crucifixes, and wooden stakes.
So, he has been "inspired" by the deaths of our troops. Inspired to what? Collecting $40K fees to talk, I assume.
For the life of me,I'll never understand how anyone would think that Rove and the Boosh admin have been honest and trustworthy.Far from it.
the rest we're living thru.
That is quite a reaction that he got from the audience. No wonder these people prefer tightly controlled audiences.

Hello, I'm Chris, and I am a clueless moron.
For the record, I have alot of family and friends who are veteran's; and almost everyone of them is a democrat, and all of them detest George Bush for what that draft dodging cream-puff has done to the military. Even my cousin who has been to Afghanistan and Iraq six times (and won a bronze star) has decided to go stateside he is so disgusted with republican incompetence.
My hope is that one fine day the men, like Karl Rove and George Bush, who contributed to this disaster that has cost the lives of thousands of Americans and millions of Iraqis will find themselves facing a war crimes tribunal. A day that will never happen unless Americans (yes, I'm talking about you reading this right now) get off the couch, stop blogging and bitching and plant their collective asses in the streets and make a statement until they're carried away.
Old Billy Hussein @ 60:

Rove should schedule his next appearance at the University of Alabama at Huntsville. I hear he is quite popular and admired in the northern part of that state.

Depending on what part of the country you live in, a six figure salary is not a huge income. Besides, why begrudge someone who has devoted THEIR ENTIRE LIFE to passing on knowledge to your progeny a decent income?
So the students heckled rove now...Wonder why they didn't go to the polls in droves and vote for Kerry. The people of Iowa voted republican in the last two presidential elections didn't they. A little bit late.
There was way too much applause for this cowardly, filthy sack of shit, this treasonous sociopath. Shame on the university for paying this scumbag any amount of money. Nothing he has to say is true or noteworthy.
He's an iceman who delights in seeing your sons and daughters killed so that the military-industrial complex can thrive.
Kudos to the people who called him a liar, a war criminal.
I'm sure next time Rove speaks,he'll raise his fee.For the extra security.Gotta screen folks don'tcha know.I have a feelin ,he'll have a hard time gettin people to sign the loyalty oath to get in and see him.I couldn't sit in the same room(no matter how big it is) and not say something.
Gotta love youtube and cellphones.

Uh oh. KKKarl Rove has $40k in his pocketses - anybody know where Jeff Gannon is?
Rove deserves a peck of rotten tomatoes to his putrid puss! A real American student would deliver them post-haste. Come on, let's have it! My college friends and I certainly put up with a lot during the 1980s on campus. All of our shanty-towns (to protest South African investment of College endowments) were destroyed, and that is only one example. I want to see more activism, especially against Rove. He is pure-D FOUL as only a rotting example of a sty upon civilization can be. Any student who protests Rove is displaying American patriotism at its finest.
The two PATRIOTS who tried to arrest Karl Douchebag Rove are heroes!!

Seems to me that the University of Iowa students have a very legitimate beef with university administration. I presume the $40,000 paid to Rove came out of student funds. Now, if the university administration had paid Rove 2 cents it would have been far more than he was worth, but well worth it for the symbolic value. Ha! Arguable, but it would have even been worth it to have paid him the unimaginably massive fee of 2 bits.
LIAR, CHEATER, TRAITOR,THIEF!!!!!!!
VALERIE PLAME!!! THROW HIS SORRY ASS IN PRISON!!!
OH I FORGOT...COWARD!!!
“I shed a lot of tears and I have been inspired by many of the people who feel their son or daughter should not have to die in vain,” he replied. Rove
Not having to die in vain is nowhere near as tragic and shameful as having to die for the intentional false witness (mortal sin) and the lies of your chickenhawk leaders.
Suck on that rover you spinning, framing, smarty ass pants, fat, fuch, pasty white bastard. Can't wait to see you in hell so I can rip your burning eyeballs out through your asshole.
In a sane world, law enforcement would have assisted those making the citizen's arrest.
Ah... I am so proud of my friends:

Catholic Workers Attempt to Arrest Karl Rove
Des Moines Catholic Workers Kirk Brown and Mona Shaw attempted to make
a citizen's arrest on Karl Rove at the opening of his talk on Sunday
March 9th talk in Iowa City. Shaw and Brown stood before an audience
that included about 200 protesters decrying Rove's appearance. The
message of the protesters included written and spoken exposes of
Rove's criminal and traitorous acts as well as shaming the University
of Iowa for providing a climate of legitimacy for a man they believed
should instead be indicted. Protesters showed up to expose Rove for
the criminal and traitor that he is, to call shame on the University
of Iowa for paying Rove $40,000 to speak and providing him a venue of
legitimacy on the University of Iowa campus.
In a speech at a protest rally held before Rove's talk, Des Moines
Catholic Worker Frank Cordaro submitted the reasoning behind the need
to attempt citizen's arrests of Rove whenever the opportunity arose.
"Iowans need to ask the bigger question of why Karl Rove is an
un-indicted war criminal and a free man. Isn't it because of our
gutless Congress, unwilling to do its duty and start impeachment
proceedings on Bush and Cheney and to start a war crimes case against
Rove 'the architect' to Bush's War on Iraq? Isn't it because our
judicial system, starting with the Supreme Court has been bought off
or scared off by the national security interest running our country?
And in our democracy when the Presidency is controlled by an criminal
gang and the Congress and Judicial branch or our government are
unwilling to do the right and just thing, it is left up to ordinary
citizens to step into the breach and attempt to make citizens arrest
of people like Karl Rove."
Brown and Shaw attempted such a citizen's arrest immediately following
Rove's introduction. Both held and began to read a written "Citizen's
Arrest Complaint" that cited Federal Criminal statutes and the Iowa
Code. Before they could finish reading the complaint, they were taken
into custody by University Police, informed they were under arrest,
and removed from the hall. Both were released in the foyer leading to
the hall and not allowed to return to the talk.
It is time for other citizens of conscience, as well, to take up the
challenge and bear our civic obligation to attempt citizen's arrests
of Karl Rove whenever the opportunity arises. This should be done so
Rove will always know that even though he and his friends in the White
House may have silenced the Congress and Judicial branch of our
government, they have not silenced the People who know of their crimes
and will not rest until justice is done.
