Despite their desire to see Karl Rove arrested, Code Pink will just have to keep trying. Rove’s book tour has turned into a regular fiasco thanks to the ladies in pink. But then again, there isn’t much that the radical left-wing, anti-war group touches that doesn’t turn into a debacle. Yes folks, Code Pink arrests Karl Rove, sort of.
At a book signing at a Borders in Sacramento, California, Karl Rove was once again confronted by those righters of wrong, those doers of good, those justice seeking, common everyday fighters of freedom….Code Pink?
Yes lefties around the world (especially here in the states) want Karl Rove arrested; Code Pink is determined to see that it happens. I suppose one day they may catch that war criminal Rove out somewhere without security (real cops) and then one of their citizens arrest attempts may be successful. But yesterday in California it was not to be.
A representative of Code Pink walked up to Rove and tried to place him under arrest. Karl Rove must have been laughing inside, no I think he may have been laughing outside as well, she was immediately arrested herself. The pinkies attempt wasn’t a complete waste, as often happens with liberal lunacy, they managed to capture the incident on video for the whole world to see. Check it out below.
As this brave soul was being escorted from the premises, the common Code Pink chant of “Karl Rove is a war criminal” can be heard. Is it just me or do the Code Pink ladies all sound the same? Maybe they go to chanting practice and hone that undeniable, shrill, anti-war mantra.
Keep trying ladies. Persistence pays off, most of the time. Who knows? Perhaps you’ll realize your dream of seeing Karl Rove arrested for war crimes; maybe even George Bush too. Until then all is not lost, Code Pink arrests Karl Rove……they arrest his heart with much love I’m sure.

Wouldn’t it be kidnapping if she put handcuffs on him, unwillingly, and tried to take him somewhere? She doesn’t have a warrant by a proper judicial authority or deputized or elected with authority of color, so she could get in a lot of trouble there. even if he is as she thinks.

I hope they get him. His treasonous behavior outing a CIA agent is just one thing. His subversion of the electoral process is another. Then there are his contempt of congress and ignoring a congressional subpoena on numerous occasions.
I pray every morning and every night for his arrest and criminal trial. Can hardly imagine how his fellow prisoners will treat him. Can’t wait to read tabloid tidbits about how he is faring in federal prison.
The primary benefit for consumers of the media will be not having to see him/listen to him any more.
Senior statesman? Are you kidding? Try “lying sack of s**t.”

Get it out of your system Jim??
May 12th, 2010 at 5:25 am
They may certainly try to arrest some of the guys. But I have a feeling that if needed they may have a little sumthin sumthin holstered under their suit coats…especially that good Texan George Bush.
May 12th, 2010 at 5:26 am
So Jim, what you are saying is that you are so focused on Rove taht he is one of the first things that pops into your mind in the morning and last things you think of before going to sleep? Odd….
May 12th, 2010 at 5:36 am
Rove is scum for sure. The ultimate in cynical selfish politics, a man who considers the suffering of untold numbers of people to be a worthy trade-off for a political win. Whether he’s arrested or not will ultimately be immaterial — he will be remembered by history as a villain.
May 12th, 2010 at 5:58 am
Seriously Rhayader?
May 12th, 2010 at 6:08 am
Yes, the guy’s as despicable as they come. He has no integrity — truth is entirely subjective to him, something subservient to political tactics. He’s the quintessential crooked career entrenched political operative.
May 12th, 2010 at 6:39 am
How rude! Where is free speech?
May 12th, 2010 at 6:48 am
Rhayader, your definition is still broad enough to cover most politicians. Bother to narrow it down a bit? Maybe adding the word ‘conservative’ or ‘tea-bagger’ somewhere will do the trick…
May 12th, 2010 at 7:05 am
Rhayader, your definition is still broad enough to cover most politicians.
Agreed. That doesn’t make it wrong. And Rove has nothing to do with conservatism or any other ideology. He’s all about the tactics as an end unto themselves.
May 12th, 2010 at 8:57 am
Wow I thought you guys were targeting Billy Blythe…Talk about a low life Oh wait,he and Eric pardoned Marc (I’m a thief) Rich…
Question: The Democrat Party seems dead Why do Progressives continue this Bush/Rove arguement? Concentrate on the THREE terrorist attacks that have occured under BHO’s “watch”…oh wait FOUR if you count the Arkansas Recruiter murder
BTW How is that Fort Hood investigation going?
May 12th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I just think it is important to keep public opinion focused on this man and what he has done (not what he is doing now and says he has done.)
It is Rove’s inappropriate emergence from private life to try to claim senior statesman status that keeps his unresolved crimes at the forefront. God Bless Code Pink.
I am fine with letting GWB ‘rest on his laurels.’ He was a calamitously poor president, but we all elected him, and respect is due the office if not the man.
But no one elected the Mayberry Machiavelli. And I will no more forget or forgive his felonies than I would a neighborhood child rapist in the name of ‘moving on’ or whatever.
Rove knew he was taking his chances. He played fast and loose with the lives of others anyway, just for ego gratification and perhaps the chance to prove to his father that he wasn’t gay.
Now he will need to take the consequences. And some hard time will reveal whether Rove will play the mack daddy or the b1tch. I predict he’ll ‘dance for the boys.’

“And Rove has nothing to do with conservatism or any other ideology. He’s all about the tactics as an end unto themselves.”
Anyone who knows anything about Rove knows thats a crock and is more likely an offshoot BDS sentiment.
Jim;
“His treasonous behavior outing a CIA agent is just one thing.”
Right Jim. Valerie Plame was deep undercover secret ops walking in the CIA headquarters front door everyday.
Our national intelligence has been totally compromised not by Rove, but by morons who wish a bunch screeching lunatics in pink will ever accomplish anything never mind a citizens arrest in which even if they did get away with it they dont even have the right to transport him anywhere, and I seriously doubt anyone of authority to do that would help them.

I don’t even know what a “BDS sentiment” is. And, pray tell, what do you know about Rove that contradicts my statement? Please, be specific.
May 12th, 2010 at 11:04 am
I actually like Rove…and I think he’s sexy. I’d date him if I could.
Kinda wonder if those code pink hags don’t have similar thoughts now that he’s single again.
‘Tis but one way to get the guy to notice you…
May 12th, 2010 at 11:13 am
“I don’t even know what a “BDS sentiment” is. And, pray tell, what do you know about Rove that contradicts my statement? Please, be specific.”
BDS… “Bush deraingment syndrome”
What ? You want me to enumerate all supporting claims like you did with your accusation that he has nothing to do with conservatism ? No, all you did was drop an empty bomb
Gee, how bout I simply begin with the 8 years he maintained the election of and supported a conservative president ?
May 12th, 2010 at 11:17 am

But that’s exactly what I was talking about — everything is a means to a political end for guys like Rove. He helps win elections no matter what the cost. Like Rivera said, this is by no means uncommon. But Rove embodies the sort of cynical, ends-justify-the-means career politics that I find pretty distasteful.
May 12th, 2010 at 11:30 am
‘ But Rove embodies the sort of cynical, ends-justify-the-means career politics that I find pretty distasteful.’
Oh please, gimme a break.
I’ve been watching politicians and their staffs do the same damn thing for decades. The only difference is that I who leans mostly conservative approve and you dont because he stands for more of what I believe in than you.
When he actually does go down getting caught smoking crack, $10,000.00 in his freezer, trys to sell congressional seats,lies as many times as Obama has then your distaste will be more valid.
He smart, and anyone left of him cant stand it
May 12th, 2010 at 11:33 am
He smart
Dude, you’re supposed to use quotation marks when you’re quoting Bush.
May 12th, 2010 at 11:51 am
Free speech only applies if you are repeating the talking points of the left.
May 12th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
OK sure, whatever that means Beth. Forget about the recent Citizens United decision, right? I guess the fact that the court (rightly) defended a company’s right to launch an attach ad on Hillary sort of slipped your mind.
Every single thing under the sun has to be about the “left” for you folks.
May 12th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
“Free speech only applies if you are repeating the talking points of the left”…she complains, although she frequently and freely contributes her political dissent on an Internet blog.
That’s a very circuitous complaint.
May 12th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
“Every single thing under the sun has to be about the “left” for you folks.’
Why not ?
Is that not what they do here ? To point out the idocy of the left ?
No doubt theres conficting messages on both sides but dont even begin to try and tell me that in the last 1 1/2 years the left has not made total hypocrits of themselves far above anything coming from the right.
Beth is right.
Our media is dominated by 75% registerd democrats who persitently get it wrong.
Tea Partiers have been mischarcterized, infiltrated with imposters.
Conservative speakers drowned out by intolerant crowds, chased off stage, had pies tossed at em, interupted church services, chased anti illegals from protests needing police protection, tearing down Christian symbols on private property. And then theres all that PC bullsht designed only to control the message. The list goes as far back as the 60s where these morons preach tolerance and peace only until they dont get their way.
May 12th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Rhay;
“Dude, you’re supposed to use quotation marks when you’re quoting Bush.”
See, I was right about your BDS, wasnt I ?
