Will Karl Rove Repent Like Atwater?
1/26/2007 3:22:39 PM


I wonder if Karl Rove and the “swiftboat” liers will repent as they near their own deaths. Lee Atwater, one of the biggest smear artists used by the Republicans in the 1980s, did repent before he died.

Before getting cancer and repenting for his lies, former dirty trickster, Lee Atwater, pulled many smears for Ronald Reagan against Democratic contender Dukakis. Among his lies:

1. Falsely accused Kitty Dukakis of burning the flag.
2. Falsely accused Dukakis of mental illness.
3. Made the 1988 racist Wllie Horton ad.
4. Falsely accused Ferraro’s parents of being criminals.

But after getting a fatal illness, he was a changed man: as described in WIKIPEDIA.

“Lee Atwater repents

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Atwater

Shortly before his death from a brain tumor he said he had converted to Catholicism and, in an act of repentance, issued a number of public and written apologies to individuals whom he had attacked during his political career, including Dukakis. In a letter to Tom Turnipseed dated June 28, 1990, he stated, "It is very important to me that I let you know that out of everything that has happened in my career, one of the low points remains the so called 'jumper cable' episode," adding, "my illness has taught me something about the nature of humanity, love, brotherhood and relationships that I never understood, and probably never would have. So, from that standpoint, there is some truth and good in everything."

Karl Rove is just like Lee Atwater before he changed.

“During the 2000 presidential race, tactics that resembled Atwater's began to surface when Arizona Senator John McCain's campaign entered the crucial Southern state of South Carolina. Though no credible evidence has been uncovered, the "whisper campaign" that damaged McCain's chances in that state is often attributed to Karl Rove, a longtime friend, later named Senior Political Advisor to George W. Bush.

Part of the "whisper campaign" included allegations that McCain had an illegitimate interracial daughter with a black woman. McCain in fact had an adopted daughter from Bangladesh.

Four years later, the New York Times ran an article which connected groups promoting that message about McCain with Republican operatives and advertising firms with ties to the so called "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" who impugned John Kerry's service record in Viet Nam. Rove's hand in both efforts was implied in the article.”
