Karl Rove came to the heart of Manhattan last night to rhapsodize about
the decline of liberalism in politics, saying Democrats responded
weakly to Sept. 11 and had placed American troops in greater danger by
criticizing their actions.
"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for
war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to
prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our
attackers," Mr. Rove, the senior political adviser to President Bush,
said at a fund-raiser in Midtown for the Conservative Party of New York
State.
Citing calls by progressive groups to respond carefully to the attacks,
Mr. Rove said to the applause of several hundred audience members, "I
don't know about you, but moderation and restraint is not what I felt
when I watched the twin towers crumble to the ground, a side of the
Pentagon destroyed, and almost 3,000 of our fellow citizens perish in
flames and rubble."
Told of Mr. Rove's remarks, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New
York, replied: "In New York, where everyone unified after 9/11, the
last thing we need is somebody who seeks to divide us for political
purposes."
Mr. Rove also said American armed forces overseas were in more jeopardy
as a result of remarks last week by Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat
of Illinois, who compared American mistreatment of detainees to the
acts of "Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime - Pol Pot
or others."
"Has there ever been a more revealing moment this year?" Mr. Rove
asked. "Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now
broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly
putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about
the motives of liberals."
Gov. George E. Pataki of New York, speaking after Mr. Rove, also
touched on the Sept. 11 attacks. He promised that the proposed Freedom
Tower, the new building at ground zero, would retain patriotic touches
in its architecture, like a height of 1,776 feet, despite the concerns
of some observers who fear that it would become a target for
terrorists.
"We're going to have a Freedom Tower that soars 1,776 feet high,
symbolizing our independence," Mr. Pataki said. As for the memorial, he
said: "No one is going to turn it into something that is a negative
statement about America and our belief in freedom, so long as I am
governor of this state."
Speaking to reporters afterward, Mr. Pataki disclosed that he did not
plan to reveal in the coming days if he will seek a fourth term,
contrary to previous statements that he would make an announcement
after the State Legislature adjourned today.
"I'm going to evaluate the bills that the Legislature has passed at the
end of the session and then make a decision at the appropriate time,
but not in the next couple of weeks," Mr. Pataki said.

More proof that Karl Rove is just a hateful, racist neocon who wants to
keep the Nation divided, and will say anything to incite the fears and
hatred of his sheep.
