Karl Rove: Obama “a Double Agent for Russia”

Karl Rove’s “independent” group, American Crossroads, has released a new video portraying  President Obama is a double agent for Russia, secretly working from within to weaken America’s defenses.

Everyone knew the Far Right would jump all over Obama’s open-mic gaffe, where he was heard telling Dmitry Medvedev that he’d have more flexibility on missile defense after the election.  And with Pavlovian predictability, this is what Rove’s new video is based on.

The video is a James Bond spoof, starring Obama as “President Flexible.”  Medvedev is “Dr. Transmitkov,” combining villains from James Bond and Austin Powers movies.  And Vladimir Putin stars as “Himself.”

A voice says:

“Your mission is simple, Mr Obama:  Win one last election to gain unchecked flexibility, weaken our defenses, and fundamentally transform the world.”

The video also shows images of missiles and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Obama — and every other Democratic candidate — will have to get used to these slanderous attacks financed by unknown shadowy creatures.  These hit pieces will be getting hotter and heavier and thicker and more vicious between now and November.  In most cases the public won’t even know who designed these attacks or who is paying for them.

But this works both ways.  An unknown opposition researcher has turned up some unflattering information about Karl Rove.  For instance, did you know:

Karl Rove likes to hang around public restrooms and lure little boys to his secret hideaway.  Once he gets them there, he ties them up and ejaculates all over them while they’re being forced to watch graphic child porn videos.  In the next room, kittens and puppies are being tortured, and Rove’s child victims have to listen to all the pitiful wailing and screeching.

The previous paragraph was brought to you by Concerned Christians for a Better America.

“President Obama, Get a Spine”

The editor of The Nation, Katrina vanden Heuvel, said this. She said Obama needs to stand firm against these constant rightwing Wag The Dog fake news attacks (i.e. Breitbart and the rest of those shitwads), or risk “feeding the zealots.”

These relentless attacks against Obama are making him look like a substitute teacher who’s just standing there waving his arms helplessly while the whole class is throwing spitballs and paper airplanes and climbing all over the desks.

vanden Heuvel said:

“This White House needs to institute procedures, as President Obama said, and get a spine because it is feeding the zealots of our system by not standing tall and confronting the forces of hate and fear in a country that has a lot of economic pain.”

She described the Shirley Sherrod controversy (Breitbart’s latest prank) as:

“A testing moment for America ... Are we going to be an America that learns from Shirley Sherrod's tale of reconciliation, overcoming prejudice? ... Are we going to be a media system which is vetting and upholding standards, or are we going to be bullied as a country by a right wing media which peddles fears and slanders to, really, destroy President Obama's presidency?”

She also said: “It's about the mainstream media — with a few exceptions in this case — accepting Andrew Breitbart, a journalist who's known to have no credibility.”

And speaking of the Rightwing Hate Machine: here’s another grass roots organization made up of everyday concerned American citizens — American Crossroads.

Karl Rove is one of the cofounders of this group. Almost every dollar raised by American Crossroads has come from four billionaires. Ah, the Voice of the People.
