The question remains to be seen is if he will stop his criminal activity.

Something he 100% expected to happen did not. And all that money his super pac collected was advance payment on a job that didn't get finished. Yeah. Rove got outsmarted. Someone either chickened out or Anonymous did him in.

Whichever way it happened, I hope he is hurting bigtime. Maybe being forced to give back all the money.

first time I've seen that. it's beautiful to see a flailing flustered Rove.

... I have watched that video twice, and to be honest I think the characterizations of Rove as having a "meltdown" are ridiculous.

What meltdown? Did he shout or cry or even raise his voice a little? He did nothing of the sort - he said there is only a 900 vote difference with 25% of the vote yet to be counted. To claim that he had a "meltdown" is beyond hyperbole.

Sure he wanted to win Ohio, just like we did. Sure he had a lot riding on it. But meltdown? There was no meltdown, maybe a bit of denial.

Rove's performance as an indicator that the results of this election came as a surprise? Yes. Proof that Rove was expecting a deux ex machina that did not appear? Nonsense.

Whether or not someone was trying/expecting to rig an election, well I have no opinion because I have no facts. It would not surprise me, but then I'd need to see SOME SORT of evidence. Rove's performance simply is not such evidence IMHO, not even close and trying to call it a "meltdown" doesn't make it evidence either.

....like a nut

..... those people have been WRONG many many times.

When someone says "meltdown", I translate that, as I believe most people do, into "emotional outburst".

There was no emotional outburst in that clip. there was no meltdown.

he said DEMOCRATIC and not DEMOCRAT like Karl Rove, and did not seem flustered to be taking on Karl

Is if everything turned out to be exactly as it seems on the surface.

n/t

In fact, there is no such word as "conspiracy" because it doesn't describe or define anything.

Like 2004. That was priceless!

The mainstream media won't mention this and I'll bet the Obama administration will avoid any investigations Let's prove that

A. Rove planned to steal the election, but was stopped.
B. Romney and Ryan knew about it and expected to win.
C. Many Republicans leaders all knew about it.

If this could be done, the GOP will be finished for good and go the way of the Federalist Party after the treasonous Hartford Convention of 1814. The American people have a right to know the desperate levels the Republicans will go to in order to subvert the democratic process.

and what evidence do you have supporting it?

The media won't take it seriously unless you have a specific scenario with evidence to back it up.

If you have such fantastic evidence, present it and win people over.

If you 'can't be bothered', well then that makes it pretty clear you're peddling bullshit.

thousands of hours of research on DU. In fact, a plenty of it was done right after the election. If you haven't been around here and seen it all, or didn't read the threads that had all the proof, it's a little too late to catch you up on it. It's not "a link". It is a whole library full of links.

There's way too many stories where people make allegations.

There's little to no evidence.

If you have your own agenda, nobody is going to educate you otherwise.

I'm happy to be convinced. But innuendo isn't going to do it. So make with the actual evidence.

of course the right wing fascist media owned companies and their billionaire ceos wont take it seriously

anon does not answer to you...


ahahaha

instead of the incompetent boob he actually is.

Consider this: Rove almost lost in 2004 (or did, depending on how conspiracy minded you are). Sitting president, good popularity, two wars going on, and Rove barely pulled off a win. If Rove was competent, 2004 would have been a landslide.

As for this election, Rove, Romney, Ryan and many others bought into the "polls are skewed" argument.

They thought the electorate would look like 2004, not 2008. They adjusted their polling to match that expectation. They were wrong, and the electorate looked like 2008.

Why was Rove shocked? Because his "unskewed" polls show the Republicans would win....and he'd just spent a billion dollars losing. And losing. And losing. In addition, Rove has marketed himself since 2000 as an expert on Ohio. And he got it very wrong. He was shocked because the loss demonstrated his career is over and he was coming to terms with his upcoming unemployment.

You provided "Look over there!!! EVIL!!!!"

If you actually have evidence, present it. Otherwise, you're just wasting time propping up a lousy campaign operative.

Rove 'brilliant'?

It wasn't a difficult election for W - incumbent, still fairly popular, running two wars the country still believed in. Huge tax cut give-aways. It should have been easy. And it wasn't. Because while Rove is good at self-promotion, he's pretty bad at running campaigns.

seriously?

...no seriously...

Look at ALL the ways the GOP fucked up last decade....

Those people could care less about democracy, look at their voter suppression efforts

if they did do something...they should have stayed quiet about it.

The only way on television to show a character's inner thoughts is to visually show them.

If Rove thought Ohio was being flipped somehow, he would not display his emotions so readily. It would not even matter what Fox said, he would know it was in the bag.

True criminals do not give us 'clues' about their inner thoughts.

This idea is ludicrous.

How will Anon react to being impersonated in such a low-quality fake video?

I'm loving it
