Reichsminister Rove Uses Dobson to Signal Base

Dobson to Wingnuttia (wink wink, nudge nudge):
"Of COURSE She'll Vote Against Abortion Rights!"

Reichsminister für Propaganda Karl Rove has used hatemonger Rev. James Dobson to signal the Dear Leader's base on the Miers high-court nomination. Dobson said that Rove told him "that she is from a very conservative church, which is almost universally pro-life."

So how does the Senate question Miers on this little tidbit? "Do you agree with your church's abortion stance?" Nope, she'll say the church has no formal stance. "Do you know what Rove told Dobson?" Sure. As the Roberts hearings showed, a Senator can't just come out and ask her, because the issue might come before the court. And Bush said today religion was his litmus test, and she passed it. Right wingnuts, consider yourselves signalled.

I would so love to see Dobson subpoenaed by Congress to explain his inside info.

It takes acid in the 'litmus' test to turn red so now we know how Dubya turned the red states red.

The acid? Bile. Pure bile.
