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.”

Well, my head a splode.
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.
Come now… you used three words in a row ending in ‘ic.’
Isn’t it fun?
