After Fitzgerald's decision not to indict Karl Rove, Rove's aggressive move into the middle of the 2006 campaign, and our recognition of Rove's take-no-prisoners style of campaigning, it seems to me that we have to do to him what he will do to us.
While the Democrats need to work out their memes for the 2006 campaign--no easy task for an often divided party--we at least know that Republicans will paint Democrats with one brush. They will fight dirty, make no mistake. And even though Kos is right in general--the Democrats will never take and retain control of the various branches of government till they cohere as a party tactically, strategically and philosophically ("big-tent" adjustments and all)--it may be up to the bloggers to take the fight to the MSM about the continued culture of corruption in the Republic party among its elected and unelected officials.
There really is no better place to start with than Karl Rove. To that end, I think we all will need to work him over bringing together the various diaries posted here and information at large about him in order to raise the profile of his tactics. In order to gain the attention of other media outlets, we need to link whatever tactics he used (often dirty if not illicit) or benefits he received as a result of his services in the past (also more than likely illegal and certainly improper as quid pro quo dealings go) to his current behavior, actions, and so forth. In brief, how can someone so corrupted, corrupting, and corruptible be the spokesperson for the Republican Party? We must tar him with the same brush used on Tom DeLay, albeit without Ronnie Earle's assistance.
It will be harder to ride Rove out on the rails since he is appointed rather than elected. But the meme we want to convey is that Karl dirties everyone he touches--and that requires us dirtying Karl, which should be neither hard nor unethical on our part.
The best work done on this matter at Daily Kos are the postings of citizendc, who I hope will post again and much, much more. It would be nice to see this kind of information not only recommended but treated as a topic worthy of front paging.
