Rove compares American Muslims to neo-Nazis and skinheads

Karl Rove, speaking on The O'Reilly Factor:

ROVE: The vast majority of the American people believe there is freedom of religion in our Constitution and that right of freedom of expression would be best exercised by not building it here. Look, in that same first amendment there’s a right to freedom of speech. Who believes that skinheads should show up at a Black sorority convention and scream bigoted remarks? Who believes there’s a right of freedom of assembly. Who believes Neo-Nazis should show up at the B’nai B’rith hotel and have their meeting in the next meeting room? There are rights everyone has that we think it’d be prudent to not exercise them at certain times.

(snip)

More likely, Rove doesn't believe that American Muslims are as bad as neo-Nazis. Instead, he's exploiting anti-Muslim bigotry for partisan political gain. And there's a name for that kind of behavior: moral cowardice.

(end snip)

And to think, some say KKKarl is Smirky's Brain.

1. Guess he hasn't heard of the lovely Rev. Fred Phelps.
Rove is a fat, pasty white little coward piece of shit.

4. NO, it is actually Karl Rove who can be compared to the.......
skinhead, neo-nazi ilk. In the past, Rove and his playmates, would be charged with treason and they would be sitting in federal prisons if not shot as traitors. How can so many middle class, underemployed, white Americans be so naive, if not just plain stupid,to buy into these grifters??? Why does no one ask them why, they don't have "real," jobs instead of milking their fellow white "christian?" Americans????

2. Do these Republican nuts have any idea.....
how many Muslims there are in the US? Not to mention the world?

The current anti-anyone-who-isn't-a-white-Christian stance of the GOP seems bizarrely suicidal. It's like they are planning to not have a future in the government of this country.
