Karl Rove Slams Fox News Hosts For Bringing Up Anti-Rove Protesters (VIDEO)

Fox News contributor Karl Rove directed some unfriendly fire at the hosts of "Fox and Friends" this weekend when the show's anchors decided to ask Rove to respond to protesters who disrupted the former top Bush adviser's book tour.

"This is sad, you people are recycling stuff that happened three to four weeks ago, this is a small blemish on what was a great trip," Rove said when asked about members of the group Code Pink who showed up at a March 30 book signing in Beverly Hills, Calif., called Rove a "war criminal" and brandished handcuffs.

"It was a blemish," he insisted, adding that there were no such incidents at other stops on his book tour.

"Please don't paint this as much a sign of anything," he continued. "These are sort of sad and pathetic people ... Can you imagine being some kind of nut wandering around with handcuffs? Let's not give them any more attention."

The Code Pink protesters have proven to be a thorn in Rove's side at several stops on the tour to promote his book "Courage and Consequence."

The same Code Pink protester who disrupted the Beverly Hills signing also showed up at a recent Rove event in Las Vegas. Code Pink activists are also planning to be a presence at an April 22 book signing with rove In Minneapolis.

Here's a clip of Rove's appearance on "Fox and Friends" on Sunday:

Kind of weird that Fox would dig at one of their own. They're typically lap dogs when it's someone with their red gang colors.

Well, he IS a war criminal, everyone knows and believes this fact. So are many of the Bush(whack) officeholders...Cheney, Wolfowitz, Pearle, etc. But then, so are many that were part of the Reagan years as well. Too bad the sound bite wasn't coming from a sub-basement in the Hague as he awaits his trial before the world for his crimes.

What a pathetic cry baby. Rove couldn't handle a small handful of people who were saying what everyone knows now is true: the war in Iraq was started on false premises. And what gives with those Rove "sympathizers"? At the townhall meetings when a legislator is screamed down continuously by a room full of tea party minions and will not allow ANYONE else the opportunity to speak, that's okay with them.

This is what it sounds like when they start eating their own. The Wall Street mess is going to spread this dilemma to both parties real soon .

What a joke of an observer who thinks we should let this traitor to America's values go on profit from betraying this nation's essential priciples.
