Yesterday I wrote a column calling Karl Rove a hypocrite (see below). I was wrong. He's a super-hypocrite…Yesterday, Rove spoke at a Conservative Party fundraiser in New York City and said,

“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.”

Really? Anyone care to cite "an offer of therapy"? I realize Rove was resorting to hyperbole. But he was again impugning motives and claiming Democrats are not committed to defending the United States.

Anything wrong with this picture? Notice that Rove said “liberals.” Notice that, in David Corn’s translation software, “liberal” is automatically synonymous with “Democrat.”

Then, based on this subliminal association, Corn waxes indignant. It would be hard to run across a finer specimen of the Freudian guilt-complex.
