have Karl Rove's fingerprints all over it? I still remember the dirty tricks he played when W ran for governor of Texas against Ann Richards. He loves to make it appear as if his side are victims.

(11,464 posts)All 3 seem to have been orchestrated at optimum time to take out something (in this case Holder) that has been a thorn in the Bush machine
and BenG. is such it was argued before there was an it.
As if they knew in advance there was something to attack on.
I myself would like to know were the actual people who did BenG. ever actually photographed or named?
Anyone can put a mask on, and under the mask, no one knows who is there.
We all know the info in the Mapes memo was 100% true.
We all know that Bush/Cheney/Jim Baker, NONE of them denied the info validity.
What was argued was an font and I never understood why that was even important.
But they all seemed to coordinate and got rid of the last honest person in the media, Rather.
Roger and Nydia who were around before Rove. They were around with Atwater, and remember Rove is Atwater x 20.
But Rove is only a person created by Bush41 and Atwater.
but look up Roger Stone.

(289 posts)The day the "scandal" broke, one Austin television station interviewed a "victim" in Waco that looked and smelled scripted. This particular station has a long history of treating right-wing fliers as news, and the reporter in this case is known locally as a "tea party spokesman."
The other television news outfits here seem to be waiting for the facts to shake out at the IRS. They probably remember a planned stunt a few years back involving a tea party redneck who stole an American flag from a local high school. He dragged that flag all over town crying to television stations about disrespect for the flag until one reporter finally called the cops. The one station that fell for the scheme sent a leggy reporter in high heels to prance up and down the school sidewalk while reciting a stern, patriotic sermon about the heroic American who saved the flag. After all was said and done, the flag thief's story fell apart and he was permanently banned from stepping foot on school property. The reporter was unmercifully lampooned for acting like a White Nationalist.
