Dear Mr. Rove, (any trolls from Free Republic or LGF can feel free to pass this on.)
It occurs to me that you, and others of your ilk have begun to believe your own ridiculous characterizations of liberals as wimps. As one of the aforementioned liberals, I can assure you, nothing could be further from the truth.
I looked up the legal definition of
Defamation of Character. That definition is: "written or spoken injury to a person or organization's reputation."
On Monday morning, it is my intent to contact lawyers with the Anti-Defamation League and the ACLU to file a lawsuit against Karl Rove.
join me, after the jump...
Karl Rove has
defamed my character and misrepresented my response to the events of September 11, 2001.
"Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 and 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."
Actually, conservatives saw the savagery on 9/11 and decided it would be a great opportunity to
attack the wrong country. Liberals overwhelmingly supported the invasion of Afghanistan and the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, but thought it might be prudent to questions why
many of the attackers were Saudis, whom the President protected.
As a self-described liberal, a member of MoveOn, and an avid reader of Michael Moore, I believe that Mr. Rove's recent remarks are damaging to me. Beyond that, I believe it complicates my relationships with others in my community who, given Mr. Rove's position, would tend to trust him.
I don't know what my options are for legal recourse, but I'm not good with letting this go. I'm tired of waiting around for those elected to speak up on my behalf to
do it. It's never been more true that if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.
Now, Mr. Rove, you will have to do more than defend your flimsy arguements on Faux News. You will have to defend them in a court of law. It will now be incumbent upon you to
prove what you've said about me and millions of others like me. I'm a stay-at-home mother of four, from small town America. I'd be less than honest if I didn't say I have 4 of the prettiest, blond-haired, blue-eyed children you've ever seen. (I didn't make that the ideal, but I'll sure as shit use it.) I'll trot them out in public, all soccer mom style and say things to the news media that will make liberals stand up and cheer and send conservatives running to their pharmacologists.
I'm a militant, unapologetic, in-your-face, ass-kicking liberal. When I'm done here, Karl Rove will never forget the day he decided to tangle with me!
