Clinton Beats Rove in Popularity Contest
If you needed more proof that universities are bastions of bleeding-heart, crunchy-granola liberalism, let's go to Duke and Brandeis.
Much like the raving protesters at John Ashcroft's speech at Cornell University (not Ithaca, mea culpa), activists at a Karl Rove event at Duke were equally cordial. A question-and-answer session incited comments such as "You're a murderer" and "9/11 was an inside job," while impromptu thespians outside greeted speechgoers with waterboarding torture re-enactments, the Chronicle reports.
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton was at Brandeis promoting the Clinton Global Initiative. The scene, as described in this four-page story in the Justice, is revealing:
As snow began to fall outside, the Branches Pan Groove steel orchestra warmed up the audience, which enthusiastically awaited the President's arrival. Clinton was received by and left the stage with a standing ovation, and was accepted with warm applause throughout his speech. He exited to upbeat music and a thumbs up to the crowd.
Does Karl Rove even know how to give a thumbs up?

Opposition to Bush's war
I am in enthusiastic agreement with these editorial statements, and say "More power to you".
It is with a sense of growing relief that I read more and more of these kinds of comments, because it testifies to the belief that Americans in growing numbers have refused to allow, in silence, the crimes of Bush,
Cheney, and Rove, and those who support these crooked bastards, seek to make a totalitarian state of our republic, and to reduce our constitutional character to that of a powerless, meaningless dwarf of silence, and meaningless aspect. Now, to stop the criminal war in Iraq, and prevent Cheney from attacking Iran.
Clinton's Charm
Clinton's Charm
Clinton is a very special person. He may be the brightest president we ever had, save Jefferson. Despite his brilliance, he lacks the usual accompanying arrogance. he is equally comfortable with all people. He has the grace to say the right thing without sounding scripted because he needs no script. I have read that he is the most popular person in the world. I am inclined to believe it. The majority of us would love to have him to dinner or breakfast or lunch and have him stay for hours just being Clinton. and the strange thing is, he would like to be with us, too. He has overflowing charisma, none of which are characteristics of any Republican (or most Democrats). He appears bigger than life and may he have a long one.
Rove's Lies Kill
Let's see, Rove has tried to put a small minority of rightwing incompetent bullies in permanent charge of the country. Clinton attempted to govern from the center and bring the country together without having to shred the constitution in the process.
Clinton did lie about a consensual sex act. Rove lies about absolutely everything, including blaming the Iraq war on the Democrats. Our military's readiness has been destroyed and a whole generation of young fighters killed and maimed as a result of Rove's lies. Hey, let's welcome the sonofagun with open arms!
