Karl Rove, yes THAT Karl Rove, claims that President Obama won due to voter suppression. WTF?

Courtesy of Think Progress: 

Rove — whose American Crossroads organizations spent $300 million in a mostly unsuccessful effort to defeat Democrats — attempted to diminish Obama’s victory by explaining that the president won less popular votes in 2012 than in 2008, and only “got more votes…among Latinos.” He complained that Obama characterized Romney, a former Bain executive, as “a rich guy who cares about himself” — a message voters largely embraced: 

ROVE: I think the Republicans lost in this election because of two things. One is that the Obama campaign was very effective in keeping roughly 92 percent of the people who voted for President Obama before to vote for him again. But they didn’t do a good job of growing the electorate…The Democrats, the the only group that they got more votes this time around than they got four years ago were among Latinos. About 700,000 more Latinos voted Democratic this year than the year before. But the president succeed by suppressing the vote, by saying to people, ‘you may not like who I am and I know you can’t bring yourself to vote for me, but I’m going to paint this other guy as simply a rich guy who only cares about himself.’

Here is a man who has used EVERY dirty trick imaginable to get his candidates elected in the past, and whose party, this time around, was caught red handed attempting to cut voter hours in Ohio ONLY for those most likely to vote for Obama, had programs installed that flipped votes for Romney, and whose operatives were caught throwing away voter registration forms.

And yet he accuses the President of "suppressing the vote?" What an asshole!

This is just another example of projection from this GOP criminal enterprise. They blame the other side for successfully doing, what they themselves know they tried unsuccessfully to do.

Clearly Rove is simply desperate to find SOME what to justify his humiliating defeat, and in his demented mind he MUST blame it on some kind of cheating. After all HOW could he be beaten fair and square?

However what Rove is purposefully ignoring is that the folks who were first able to "paint this other guy as a rich guy who only cares about himself" were Romney's Republican primary opponents. And some of the most damaging attacks, done on Newt Gingrich's behalf, were funded by GOP sugar daddy Shelden Adelson. You know, the same guy who then tried to buy THIS election for Mittens.

In fact ALL that the Obama campaign had to do was let Mitt's own words speak for themselves, demonstrate his affinity for lying, and then work hard to help get the Obama supporters to the polls.

Essentially the case Rove is making is that the Obama campaign "suppressed the vote" by not allowing the Republicans to steal, discard, or suppress votes from the Democrats. (How dare they?)

So all I have to say is "Fuck Karl Rove!" And let's all hope that this is the LAST time we see his malformed Mr. Potato Head involved in our political system.

He is nothing more than a malignant cancer in American politics, and it is high time we get that tumor removed.

Thankfully we now have Obamacare to help us with that.
