Talk:Karl Rove

From Conservapedia

The McCain 2000 allegation

I will not embarrass the editor who left on this article an allegation that Karl Rove had, during the 2000 US Presidential election, started a rumor, of dubious foundation, to the effect that John McCain had fathered an illegitimate child. I will merely cite this article^[1] in which Karl Rove specifically denies having any part of such a rumor. The article quotes Rove:

“

That is absolutely not true, and I take offense....If you have any bit of evidence that anybody connected with the Bush campaign was involved in that, you bring it forward, because it is a reckless charge.

”

Hey, I'm just writing the facts as I know them. Rove is celebrated for his push-polling and other shrewd tactics. You're free to refute them, of course. Kristkrispies 17:28, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

Still, I cannot and will not accept that last edit as friendly without a hard, trustworthy citation. The laws of libel govern this site, don't forget.--TerryH^Talk 17:29, 3 July 2007 (EDT)

I don't deny that it needs a citation, but this site is relatively new and many articles that are entirely factual are yet unsourced. I was not aware of that denial, nor am I fighting the reversion. Kristkrispies 17:32, 3 July 2007 (EDT)
