Repeat After Me
The following is posted predicated on consensus on the primary principle of previous post, namely Karl Rove is secondary. Civilization would have progressed further had his parents been forbidden to breed, there is no denying. There are folks on death row whose character shines in comparison to his, I have no doubt. I will resist temptation to go on. You know. If there is a deity, It knows. Karma happens.
Try on this (excerpted) editorial at Buzzflash:
From the beginning of BuzzFlash, we have said this again and again: the core of Bushevism propaganda is that if you repeat a lie five times, it becomes the truth.
Remember this, it doesn't matter how bold and audacious the lie is, they stick to the repetition. In fact, the more brazen the lie -- the more it defies common sense -- the more likely many Americans who rely on television for news are likely to believe it. That is because a plainspoken person wouldn't believe that anyone "like them" would lie so contrary to the truth. It's just not something a person in their right mind would do, unless they are fundamentally amoral, ruthless, and love power more than their country.
But that is why Ken Mehlman, RNC Chair, went on Sunday television to defiantly warn Democrats to apologize for slandering Rove. No, we are not making this up. It is tempting to laugh, but people believe these lies in defense of treason; that's how we got in this mess.

The Democrats should stop calling for Rove to resign and instead take a page from the GOP/Luntz playbook. Just keep saying Rove and treason together in as many possible media forums as possible. Everyone knows the Democrats want Rove to resign. That's not a message that gets embedded in the public mind. It's only a tactic that feeds into the Rove strategy of throwing up enough flak to confuse people and have the media report on this as a partisan fight, rather than an act of betraying the national security interests of the United States of America.
Rove's outing of Plame has made us all less safe, seriously less safe. Because she specialized in the tracking the illicit sales of Weapons of Mass Destruction. People's lives have been endangered as a result of the White House's betrayal.

Everyone knows that the Rove "counterattack" (even though the White House lies again when it claims it can't talk about the case but unleashes Rove to furiously impugn Joe Wilson and throw up enough flak to keep the press befuddled) is about three things: 1) Saving Bush's Brain, Karl Rove, from the slammer, which would leave Bush with a frontal lobotomy; 2) Keeping the dam of Bushevik lies that led us into the Iraq war from bursting forth and finally being understood as a treason and betrayal unto itself; and 3) protecting the one-party power base of the Bush dynasty, the rabid Republicans, and the Fundamentalist Christian Jihadists.
Just remember these two words: Rove and treason.
Repeat the truth five times and people might finally understand it's the truth.
Did you notice the words "unless they are fundamentally amoral, ruthless, and love power more than their country"? CLICK! Pattern-match.
Repeat after me (5x, preferably): "Rove and treason."
Originating just about as far away as one can get in the lower 48 from the now woefully out-of-touch corporations-uber-alles world that non-representative Washington has become, here's an interesting snippet from the "other Washington":
Two years ago, Ambassador Joe Wilson chose a forum in Seattle to suggest that presidential strategist Karl Rove was the leaker who had "outed" Wilson's wife as a CIA agent in retaliation for the ambassador's criticism of White House Iraq policy.
"Wouldn't it be fun to see Karl Rove frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs?" he asked at that meeting.
The line brought a roaring ovation from 1,000 Seattle-area liberals, but a frosty reaction from his wife when Wilson returned home to Washington, D.C.
Today, Wilson can't say if Rove committed a crime, but believes he has behaved "below the minimum standards of ethical conduct we expect of a public official," and has no business working at the White House.

"This has been a smear campaign that just keeps on giving," said Wilson, who served as ambassador to Gabon and chief U.S. diplomat in Baghdad during the days leading up to Gulf War I.
His career was launched right here -- while working as a carpenter in Sequim, Wilson came to Seattle for the exam that led to his 22-year Foreign Service career.
"No man is above the law, not even the president's chief adviser," Wilson said.
