I should have found a way to say it with more humor.</p> I just got back home. I hope I didn’t imply impatience or something with your comment.

It hurts me every time I read a statement which lumps all Texans into one bad, ignorant lot. It is sad that so many of those who have found notoriety on the public stage have represented us so badly.</p> As a fellow native Texan, Glenn, you’ve said it well.

I was born in Temple in ‘51 and I’ve lived here on and off for the biggest part of my life. Rove would fit right in here along with rest of us idiots. He’d have plenty of conservative stormtroopers he could march around. I’m not a conservative, though.</p> Glenn, when I say ‘lowest form’ I’m including myself.

This is the best description and analysis of Rove and his influence that I have ever read. Wonderful writing! How about doing a book on this mentally twisted leader of the Criminal Crew?</p> Thank you, Glenn. This is the best description and analysis of Rove and his influence that I have ever read.

They thrive on hatefulness. They must be responded to in kind. If this sounds ‘mean’ to anyone out there then you haven’t been on the recieving end of their poison. Hold their feet to the fire until they [<em>Moderator: no violence please</em>].

They are using this woman, Obama’s own distant family, as the Santa Anna winds to fan the racist fires they have set all over our country.

It is their parting shot of absolute hatred toward Barack Obama.

Karl Rove and his ilk are as “brilliant” as cancer.
