Did… did you just say that?

Bush’s chief political adviser, Rove said in a speech Wednesday that “liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.” Conservatives, he told the New York state Conservative Party just a few miles north of Ground Zero, “saw the savagery of 9/11 and the attacks and prepared for war.”

Then…

The White House defended Rove’s remarks and accused Democrats of engaging in partisan attacks.

What?

    Okay, the second one’s typical dumb doubletalk. But what exactly did you find so offensive in the 1st portion quoted?

    It’s grossly hyperbolic/dualistic rhetoric. My point, really, was the juxtaposition of the clearly partisan shot of the first quote and the defense of the second.
