It's funny that you attack him for not responding to your post (which was an obvious attempt to change the focus) without actually responding to his factual support of Rove's statement. Any idiot can find some dumbass who has said something stupid, (see, e.g., posts by Hank), but Slave pointed to what was (and in many circles still is) a leading figure in the liberal movement. The best you can do is point to someone who has always been denigrated by Republicans (as well as Democrats). Why not prove him wrong by showing that liberals didn't do what Rove said they did? While you are at it, here are some more quotes from liberals for you to explain:

Jesus Christ!
First, you guys really need to learn to distinguish between Democrats and liberals, and between liberals and progressives.
Your comparisons are about as meaningful as saying that David Duke, Grover Norquist, Pat Robertson, or Newt Gingrich speak for Lincoln Chafee (or for Bilmore) -- because they are all on the "right" side of the aisle.
As to your quotes -- Gere is a freakin' Buddhist, and his quote (which did seem to be snipped from a larger discussion) is an entirely natural response in the context of his religious tradition.
If you don't like it, I'll match your Gere with Pat Robertson, and note that, unlike Robertson, Gere has never been a "serious" contender for his parties' Presidential nomination and has never participated in a nationally televised debate of primary candidates.
Shirely McClaine believes in ghosts and past lives. She is a bona fide nut case, and not representative of any type of mainstream liberal thought. (Don't you keep telling us that the Hollywood liberal elite is not "mainstream"?)
Alice Walker writes for the m*therf*cking Village Voice, for God's sakes. That means she's almost certainly well past liberal, and back in the day was likely some kind of socialist or communist.
Do Regnery Press or Richard Scaife's journals speak for the Republican Party?
In sum -- those quotes aren't properly representative of either "liberal" or, even less, so "Democratic" thought. Anyone on this Board who truly believes otherwise -- as opposed to those just being tools -- are truly profoundly ignorant.

P.S. My condolences, Hank.
