Group protests outside Rove's house

Edited on Fri Apr-02-04 03:21 AM by BradCKY

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Hundreds rallied Sunday outside the home of Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political adviser, urging legislation that would allow undocumented immigrants who graduate from high school to legalize their status and qualify for in-state college tuition.

...

"If President Bush wants our vote, he has to give us the dream," said Emira Palacios, the group's co-chair.
....

Palacios said Rove agreed to meet with group leaders in his garage but then chastised them for protesting in front of his house and scaring his children.

"I told him that we have 65,000 students every year, graduating and crying because they cannot accomplish their dreams," Fonseca said.

"I'm sorry that we disturbed his children, but our children are being disturbed every day."

Much as I despise Rove, going to somebody's house to protest is taking it a little overboard IMO.

Edit - N/m I got the first impression from the news that they were purposely baiting his kids, which wasn't the case.

2. a little overboard?

Much as I despise Rove, going to somebody's house to protest is taking it a little overboard IMO.

What about going to somebody's house in Iraq and destroying it with a daisy cutter, an act which many would agree that Rove should be held accountable. I think that's going a little overboard, but then maybe that's just me.

n/m found another article.

Thought it was the protestor baiting Rove's kids but it was Rove throwing it back in their face.

7. When no other means of protest reaches them

I wholly advocate going to their homes.... heck, protests should
be in front of every one of those bugger's homes... every day.

They are in all of our homes, ramming their policies up our asses..
time we took the reciprocal invitation and showed up to their
homes.

I'm actually surprised that people are not doing more outrageous
protests at their homes given their felon-criminality. Vigilantes
have been known to do worse to rapists and criminals like rove.

He's lucky he's not swinging from a tree... or a bridge.

"as much as I despise Joe Wilson, Rove outing his CIA agent wife is taking it a little overboard IMO"
