Karl Rove: Destroyed the Republican party!!

So Karl Rove is leaving from his position as political strategist for the Bush regime at the end of August. The media will now begin its chant of "He was a genius!" for the next several days. Thinkprogress.org compiled this morning's barrage of Karl Rove ass-kissing by the mainstream media. Regardless of all the dirty little tricks which sometimes worked against the Democrats and the 2004 election (which was all Rove), in the long term, Rove just may have destroyed the Republican party.
Rove ended up dividing the Republican party and their supporters by isolating the moderates and others who had ideas or policies adverse to the Bush administration. Ronald Brownstein has a good piece in the LA Times explaining the broken and deeply divided Republican party. The radical right have divided this nation and they have also divided the Republicans themselves.

As a liberal, I say thank you to Karl Rove. Your plan for a Republican hundred-year empire may have backfired in your face.
