Karl Rove takes Juan Williams to task on Romney economic plan: Video added

Push back … and great video entertainment for the day. It’s time the lefty talking points get smacked down and Rove obliged.

On Fox  News Sunday Juan Williams tried to make a claim that first Romney had no economic plan while at the same time claiming Romney’s plan just wanted to cut taxes for the rich. Both untrue and Karl Rove smacked Juan down and refused to let him off the mat.

Rove’s point … you can’t have it both ways … saying there’s no plan and then criticizing Romney for an out of touch plan. It was really just a case of Williams trying to hit every O talking point and Rove wouldn’t let it happen.

We need more of this. As conservatarians we want tax reform, not tax cuts for the rich. We want deductions curtailed and  simpler system. Lower rates, fewer breaks. Period.

    Ok, now THAT’S the way to disagree :).? Rove’s good at holding people’s feet to the fire, but retaining a gentlemanly manner while incorporating a few backhanded compliments.? Here’s a link to a pretty specific plan for jobs and the economy on Romney’s website (scroll down to the links under the introduction):

    Not only should he send an autographed copy, but one with the pertinent sections clearly highlighted.
    ?
    It is difficult to believe that Juan actually read the bill, given that he was just spouting the daily talking points.

      Dims, you hit it. Juan claimed to be a REAL JOURNALIST! More liberal horse exhaust. A real journalist would have done his/her homework, read the pertinent material and spoken/ commented/entertained? from an informed stance. It reminds me that Democrats always want everything their own way, thus the talking points that are at variance with each other.

      And, he continues to YELL!

    Pablum for the teeming masses who know no better, talking down to them like children. The Democrat Way. It is immensely amusing to see these shills told to their faces they are lying. The depressing part of course is that they mostly don’t care when they are caught out – they just write you off as an intelligent one and pick on the next victim – because they know it’s not fact, it’s propaganda – which is perfectly OK in their book. (The little red one)? ?

      Also, tthe Goebbels tactic of repeating a story over and over again until it becomes the “truth” is really easy with the aid of a complicit and supportive media, Juan included.

      Watching Plouffe on Fox this weekend just reinforced the point: he never really answered Wallace’s questions, while bloviating, blustering and filibustering with his prememorized talking points. ?Apparently, he was unconvincing even on ABC to Candy (?) Crowley, insisting that the new executive order regarding illegal aliens was “not political”. ?

      ?Wasn’t it George Costanza of “Seinfeld” that said “it’s not a lie if you believe it is true”? ?Well, even the most ardent KoolAid drinkers of the left are incredulous…

      Where will the next Hail Mary executive order be aimed? Targeting the immigrant community is only the opening “gun.” The next illegal order could be aimed at the youth vote by forgiving or delaying repayment of student loans. He could pander to seniors by increasing monies to current benefit receivers. The Catholics could be placated by declaring a religious exemption for mandated controversial birth control provisions. He might even try to reach out to the bitter clingers. Also, he could throw Ole Joe under the bus and get a real dangerous VP who could actually be asset to the campaign instead of? a court jester. He will never reach out to the gun owners.
      O’blamo is desperate; his perfidy knows no bounds.

      I do take some solace in the shadow media calling their bluff. But propaganda is very effective – up to a tipping point – the question is: is the economy bad enough for it to be Obama’s Stalingrad?



  4. Dimsdale on June 19, 2012 at 12:46 pm

    Hey Juan!? Did you catch the latest story about how “real” reporters are once again manipulating video to present a story different from reality (the Romney WaWa story)?
    ?
    Tell me again about the professionalism of your peer group.

    How about the fact that a blogger outted the “real” reporters

    Love Rove. Ok it doesn’t rhyme, but it is true. Nobody argues better than him with a smile on their face. Rove is the real deal, the power behind the curtain.
