Kos is getting feedback that some US soldiers in harm's way are pissed as hell that Karl Rove just suggested THEY don't care about Osama bin Laden, not to mention Rove and Bush think they obviously don't care about whether their own comrades in arms die, and actually HOPE they'll do, according to Rove.
This is an email Markos just got:
Listen, I'm pissed as hell at Rove. I am a democrat and have been forever. (I'm 54) ... my two kids who just happen to be in the US Army serving are also democrats. My son and daughter both joined as soon as they possibly could after 9/11.So Karl Rove thinks ever Democrat in the military is a traitor who sucks up to Osama bin Laden and wants to see their fellow service members dead.
So far they are both safe from harm (no thanks to Rove...).
My son and daughter both emailed me last night wanting to know just who in the hell the Rove guy is. They both want to plaster his face everywhere around the bases they are stationed. It seems that Rove didn't know that a good percentage of enlisted folk were Democrats. They like to say around the bases that republicans don't volunteer.
Got any Democrat soldiers out there? Spread the word.
