Open Thread: Anti-Karl Rove Protesters Don't Know Who He Is
Who is Karl Rove? Chances are if you are a regular reader of this site, you are well aware that Rove is a Republican political operative who worked for former president George W. Bush during his time in office and before.
If you are a liberal protester showing up to protest against Karl Rove, the odds are not that great that you would know who Rove is as this great video below from The Blaze makes quite clear. In interviews with several anti-Rove demonstrators, many of them seem to have no idea who the man they supposedly hate enough to protest is:

Rush L. just played a few soundbites of protesters being interviewed at this event. It was clear these were all 'persons of color' being interviewed, and it sounded something like this...''Do you know who Karl Rove is?''.........''Uhhhhh, yea man....he'd dat guy who's tryin' to get Obama outta da white house...dat man gotta be stopped!.....''Obama's doin' a great job, he's doin' everythin' right''........One guy actually said, when asked who Rove was, said ''Yea, he dat guy who's tryin' to beat Obama''...................................wow.....just.....wow.......

Am I the only one seriously dreading tomorrow with the SCOTUS and the ObeymeCare?
I've been seriously depressed the last few days wondering what's going to happen, especially since I really couldn't guess which way it will go other than upheld or thrown out. The idea that parts of it will be upheld is ludicrous because of its severability clause, but who the hell knows? And in the mean time, we have a bogus potus making threats to the SCOTUS while taking actionable actions that demand impeachment and removal from office.
We know which way it SHOULD go, but everything in the last 3 years have defied logic.
And I'm getting freaking sick and tired of hearing how this will affect Obeyme if this gets shot down, WHO THE F*CK CARES??? What about the American people that WILL be affected negatively if this travesty were allowed to continue?
Ugh, did I mentioned I was depressed? Makes me glad I quit drinking.

Well, Jon, I too am worried.

Since I haven't stopped drinking, I'll have one for you tomorrow no matter which way it goes.
I have a sneaky suspicion that He has found a way to get to Roberts, or at least get in his head.
The SCOTUS will, once again just like the AZ abortion, find a way to mangle their opinion on this one so that Da One can somehow still grease it up and shove it to us.
Romney ought to start naming the people he will appoint to the SCOTUS if he gets elected. That could get him more votes than all the other crap put together, since it is becoming quite clear that Congress has become a spectator in the governing process of the country.
Talk about a Peanut Gallery.
Obama's plan to become our Dear Leader for Life is coming together quite nicely. Congress has been castrated, and the SCOTUS is well on the way. One more term ought to get it done.

I am trying to prepare for anything Jon.
But even if Obamacare is struck down, I have a feeling Obama will completely ignore the decision, implement the law as written, and dare anyone to stop him. He just does not care about constitutional government, only his agenda.
Ditto on that

Agreed, and he's made that plain as the nose on anyone's face from the beginning before the usurping of the WH on Jan 20, 2009.
Like he has done on so many other things, he's shown that he's not derelict in his duties, he ignores them and does whatever the hell he wants. That's criminal disregard to what it means to be the potus. And yes, it bothers the hell out of me that he does it, but it bothers me even MORE that Congress doesn't seem to be wanting to do a damn thing about it.

AstroTurf
Submitted by c5then on Wed, 06/27/2012 - 10:37am.
The liberal/democrat machine is expert at AstroTurf-ing an issue.
They know that they can count on their union partners to handle all the logistics of getting people to the place and supplying them with t-shirts and signs to protest something that the people are absolutely clueless about.
IMO...90% of the people at a liberal/democrat protest do not know why they are there and have no clue what the issue is. And probably 50% of them (or more) are being paid to be there.
This was demonstrated in the "Occupy" AstroTurf protest too. Many of those idiots had no clue what they were protesting or what they were for or against.

But the TEA Party is Astroturf
Submitted by MichMike on Wed, 06/27/2012 - 2:02pm.
It is always the same with these marches. The people are being paid to be there and know NOTHING about ANYTHING. At the TEA Party rallies, ALL the people know why they are there, though the reasons are somewhat different for each person because they care more about certain issues than the person next to them. Dumb them down with weak public schools and then control them with propaganda and bribes, the left's way. The LEADERSHIP of the left is so evil and hates the poor and minorities so deeply, but will use them to gain and retain power. But alas, most of these people could not pass an 8th grade test, just the way the left wants it.

Is the fruit of the Great Society and LBJ's War on Poverty. The black community has been destroyed and reduced to ignorant creatures who can only parrot what they are told. They don't know why or who they are protesting, only that their plantation masters and overseers told them where to be and when.
And the libs strike again
Submitted by Cappmann1962 on Wed, 06/27/2012 - 2:42pm.
This is a further example of how incredibly ignorant dems are. Even Howard Stern's producer caught them when he went to Harlem and asked folks who they were voting for in '08. When they invariably said Obambi, he asked why, and gave examples of political positions (such as immigration, abortion, and gun control), to which the interviewees readily agreed. Unfortunately for them, the positions were all McCain's. Not one of the idiots (with a right to vote) had the first clue what Obambi's platform was. All they saw was black. This was the black vote that helped get Obambi elected.
Even college students were interviewed. When they proposed to vote democrat, they were asked simple questions: Who is Sarah Palin? Who is the Speaker of the House? Who is the Senate majority Leader? And several similar questions. I don't remember ONE right answer. This was the youth vote that helped Obambi get elected.
Now ask someone voting republican and the chances are they will tell you the senior reps on both parties and be able to name at least 6 of the 9 justices in the SCOTUS. Hell, they will probably be able to name Obambi's dog!
Dems, as a group, are so ignorant of the issues facing this country, it's no surprise they continue to vote in POS political representation, all the way up to the president. And they're he still has a chance to get re-elected.
Not surprised

About the only ones in the video who showed any intelligence were the ones smart enough to ask not to be identified.
They can continue to live their lives of ignorant bliss anonymously. Their employers (if they have one), friends, and family won't know how monumentally stupid and naive they are. At least it won't be learned from this video.
My favorite from the video? The one who said, "Karl Rove is basically....... a guy." Yeah! Gotta protest dat, fo' sho!
