Type Your Article Here ...Karl Rove (Fox New Commentator) criticized Rush Limbaugh for taking his comments to German Reporters, out of context, referring to issues regarding the Tea Party. When pressed by Bob Schieffer on CBS's Face the Nation, that Rush Limbaugh makes comments," out of context", Karl Rove slightly stammered, then back walked the comment. He said Rush Limbaugh was a personal good friend of his, indicated Rush might not heard all of his statement, then deflected by attacking President Obama's policies. I thought the Republican Fox News Network was running the show, but when Karl Rove has to kowtow to Rush Limbaugh, I see who has the real power.

I paraphrased the comments, but the content is accurate. I saved the show so I can go back if I made any errors. I did leave out the part that Rush Limbaugh also criticized the Republican Party as well as Karl Rove's comments.

Honestly... Karl Rove might as well not even try to defend his blatant hypocrisy. He should just say, "yeah... I said that yesterday... what of it?" and leave it at that. He just digs the hole deeper and makes himself look more stupid.

Keep 'paraphrasing" those comments, like every good lib-reporter does. When you dont like the truth you can always distort it! LOL

Last time I checked, Karl Rove is a free person who can agree and disagree with another just like everyone else. No one is calling the shots in this election,except the people

Which has what to do with your sarcastic comment above or this article. Other than I prove your comment wrong now you are trying to deflect away from that. Typical Far Right Wing tactic. When proving wrong change the subject.

Bad1V, thanks for the support and documentation that supports what I watched and wrote. Diversion away from facts is the Republican Tea Party strategy, beside anyone can just watch the show and decide for themselves. Bob Schieffer was real excited because he thought he had a real news story, until Karl back walked his original statement.

Let's start some trouble: Rush Limbaugh is a gay homophobe who likes to grab is own ankles.

That's not trouble, that's what I actually believe about him. I think he's a closeted gay man.

So what if he were? It's not a lifestyle choice. Being gay is inborn.

BTW, this type of post goes against the rules of the Vine. 'Starting trouble' is not what the rules permit us to do.

It could also be considered gay bashing. Look what happened recently to the student at Rutgers. The two students who cyberbullied Tyler Clementi are in great trouble now.

I was kinda thinking that all the corporate media meme of a dem enthusiasm gap and the like was a deflection. Like the whole tea party movement is just a deflection of a greater truth:

The reptard brand is in shambles. No-one leads them. Not even Rush. They are led by what they think white people want to hear and they think that Rush voices the majority veiwpoint of white people. Yes they think a drug addled gasbag speaks the majority veiwpoint....of white people.

As much as reptards like to say they speak for all white people, they don't speak for me.

And the white people meme I use is just that as well. A meme. They don't speak for all white people. Just the top 2%. :)

I went to change this and my edit time ran out.

As much as reptards like to think they speak for all americans, they don't speak for me.

All this 'reptard' and 'libtard' rhetoric is extremely offensive. It's against the rules of the Vine. Why can't we disagree without all the name-calling?

The Republican party seems to be falling apart. Limbaugh lost all his credibility when he was found to be a dishonest drug addict. His sexuality is irrelevant. Gay bashing is gay bashing, no matter the target be Republican or Democrat. It's offensive and can be considered a hate crime.

Why is Limbaugh still the pundit and spokesman for the Right Wing? I thought they were supposed to be against lying and drug abuse. That's about as anti-'family values' as one can get. Isn't it? Unless, of course, this whole 'family values' thing is a smoke screen and they're all lying to their constituents.

[sarcasm] But the Republicans would never ever lie to anyone. Or would they? [/sarcasm]

Karl, Karl, Karl you seem to be afraid of your good friend Rush. What makes you shudder and stammer, was that your boots a quakin', or your lips a fakin' a brain quizzler. (chuckle)

Vlad, I thought Fox News trumped Rush, but it looks like Rush is holding all the high cards.

2 disgusting lie-infested hypocritess fighting over a rare factual observation made by one of them...

I am surprised that Rove did a Steele, being the master of dirty tricks and a traitor in outing a CIA agent who was married to an Ambassador who knew the Neo-con admin were lying about 'yellow cake'.

But I guess Limbaugh proved once again whose the voice and head of the GOP is...

Bigsaf, as I mentioned to Vlad in the post above yours, I'm surprised that Rush Limbaugh has more power than a Fox News Commentator. I wonder if Rupert is offended by Karls quick fold?
