Are The Netroots Being Played By Rove?
 Advertisements [?]Andrew Sullivan

One reader thinks so:


I just wanted to say thank you so much for being the only blogger (aside from Al Giordano) who gets it. While the rest of the blogosphere (especially the liberal bloggers) lose their heads you are an island of common sense. Patience and Steel. Yes, yes. yes.

It also occurs to me that in a way McCain and Rove have actually simply taken over the liberal blogosphere in some way. They are being played.

Just a few examples---yesterday Obama gave a fantastic interview at the Service Forum. Did the liberal blogs even cover this? No.

He gave a great speech on the trail. Are his town halls even posted or excerpted? No.


Andrew Sullivan thinks so -


The liberal bloggers have become McCain central. They make people click on his ads, make the world spin around him instead of focusing on our candidate and what he is trying to do. There is ZERO coverage of what Obama is actually doing every day talking tough on the issues. There is ZERO coverage of Biden (who is on the trail but the blogs don't seem to care or cover him unless he is doing what they think he should be doing. Sadly AFP did cover him this week and people seemed to be too busy saying he was not doing anything to include the link with his forceful comments against McCain. The one time the blogs linked to Biden---when the MSM tried to make a big deal out his answer to a question that made Hillary look bad and he defended her. That was it).

McCain and crew realized early this cycle that they did not have a visible internet presence. So what did they do? They took over the liberal presence, they are manipulating the leading liberal blogs , just as they manipulate the MSM. All to their own advantage. And the blogs have all fallen for this hook, line and sinker. Does no one realize this?

They are all being played.

And Obama, god bless him, he gets it. As does his team. while everyone whines he keeps at it every day with much much class and like a laser focused on the issues. The problem is not Obama, is that no one wants to follow his lead. Instead they are following McCain-Rove and they don't even know it.

A new bonfire which might take off so worth keeping an eye on.

Nope, the nutroots are just playing with themselves.

So, McCain doesn't know how to use a computer, yet his campaign has taken over the liberal bloggers ? Teh Rove is mighty!

[Lord Undies]

They blame Rove and McCain for their hysteria.  Now that's smart.   
Tomorrow it will be Rove and McCain's fault they are anti-American scum.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Silly question.  Teh Rove knows all!

Not only has The Rove taken over the nutroots, he used his mind control machine to make kevinmc post that silly rant.

Go! The Rove! Go!

Karl Rove has no idea how incredibly powerful he is!  DUmmies blame him or give him credit (in a backhanded manner) for just about everything by turns.  If DU is still around in a year, and I'm not convinced it will be at least in it's current form, they'll still be invoking "Rovian dirty tricks" as an excuse for any Dem failure or lack.

You know, this is hilarious.

Andrew Sullivan supporting the Big Zero?

The Big Zero's ostensibly against gay marriage, and one recalls the Big Zero got a lot of criticism and condemnation on Skins's island because of that.  And some primitives even left the island.

Andrew Sullivan, who for more than a year wrote 24/7/365 about gay marriage, and nothing else?

Someone should build a "Karl Rove Facts" site, a la "Chuck Norris Facts."

You may be on to something. It could be that the DUmmies aren't actually as stupid and as anti-America as they seem. It could be that Rove is using his mind control machine to make them look like idiotic anti-American nutjobs in order to tarnish the demonratic party.

Is there any known defense against Rove's mind control machine?

Since I had some spare time this morning I decided to do some research on the web. Apparently there is a way to thwart the mind control machine. It's called the Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie. More info can be found here: Mind Control Protection

However, additional research states that if someone "puts a mind-reading chip in your brain, a tinfoil hat will not stop it from either operating or broadcasting. Also it will block all incoming signals which direct it's self to the brain." I'm sure that a mind-control chip also exists that can be used alone or in tandem with the mind-reading chip.

The question then would be when and how would Rove be able to implant one of these chips in a DUmmie brain without the DUmmie knowing it has been done. The answer is simple when you take into account that a large number of the DUmmies are druggies. Drugs can make a person loss touch with his/her surroundings OR even make a person pass out. During one of these drug sessions it would be very easy for someone as ingenious as The Rove to secretly implant a chip.

The bigger question is does the naturally unclean nature of the DUmmie increase the risk of infection during the procedure AND how difficult is it to find something as small as a DUmmie brain in something as large as a DUmmie head?

ANATOMY OF A LIBERAL IMPLOSION

Libs see Palin

Before even knowing who Palin is they get apoplectic because she's a womn but just not they're woman (the other having been unceremoniously and quite uncordially discarded by Little O).

Libs launch one absurd and quickly discredited attack after another.

Attacks fail to strike home and actually backfire.

Libs stop and wonder: are they being manipulated by their imaginery arch-nemesis?

Libs ponder.

Libs ruminate.

Libs shake off the advice and paranoia and return to launching attacks that drown Little O's message and only backfire.
