Several hundred people stormed the small yard of President Bush’s chief political strategist, Karl Rove, yesterday afternoon, pounding on his windows, shoving signs at others and challenging Rove to talk to them about a bill that deals with educational opportunities for immigrants. Protesters poured out of one school bus after another, piercing an otherwise quiet, peaceful Sunday in Rove’s Palisades neighborhood in Northwest, chanting, "Karl, Karl, come on out! See what the DREAM Act is all about!"
| Who the hell are these mopes? They're supporting a bill in Congress to provide free education to the children of illegal aliens. |
Rove obliged their first request and opened his door long enough to say, "Get off my property."
He should have obliged them by shooting a couple of rounds into the crowd.
"Seems like he doesn’t want to invite us in for tea," Emira Palacios quipped to the crowd.
Maybe Rantburgers should organize a little trip to Emira’s house and see if he’d like to invite us in for tea.
Others chanted, "Karl Rove ain’t got no soul." The crowd then grew more aggressive, fanning around the three accessible sides of Rove’s house, tracking him through the many windows, waving signs that read "Say Yes to DREAM" and pounding on the glass. At one point, Rove rushed to a window, pointed a finger and yelled something inaudible... Rove opened his garage door and allowed Palacios and Inez Killingsworth to enter. The meeting lasted two minutes and ended with Rove closing the garage door on Palacios while she was still talking. Palacios said that Rove was "very upset" and was "yelling in our faces" and that Rove told them "he hoped we were proud to make his 14-year-old and 10-year-old cry."
| I suspect Karl was offended by the lack of class and political idiocy of the whole stunt. He's a pro, remember. |
A White House spokesman said one of the children was a neighbor. Palacios, trembling and in tears herself, said, "He is very offended because we dared to come here. We dared to come here because he dared to ignore us. I’m sorry we disturbed his children, but our children are disturbed every day. He also said, ’Don’t ever dare to come back.’ We will, if he continues to ignore us."
He needs to get a restraining order on this freak. These people need serious jail time. An example needs to be made. |
