Iowans Attempt To Arrest Karl Rove

(AP)  Des Moines police arrested four people Friday who attempted a citizen's arrest of former White House adviser Karl Rove.

Rove was in Des Moines to speak at a fundraiser.

A news release says a retired minister and three members of the Des Moines Catholic Workers community were cited for trespassing and released.

The four accused Rove of election fraud and conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States in the time before the Iraq war.

The arrest complaint also says they accused Rove of treason, sedition and subversive activities for fraudulent acts leading to the deaths of 300,000 Iraqi civilians and 4,000 U.S. Military personnel.

Kirk Brown and Mona Shaw, two of the four arrested Friday, attempted a similar arrest last March when Rove spoke at the University of Iowa.

The Democrat Party today is essentially a Marxist Socialist Party, core values are income redistribution, 70% marginal tax rate, USSR style health care system... with total federal control over all. Through out history, these policies have been tried and re-tried, and have been proven to be failures over and over again. But today''s Democrats ignore the lessons of history, and charge down the Marxist path to total socialism.. it will be the failure of the USA, as it has been to every Nation on earth that has implemented these Marxist policies.

Presidential approaval ratings spike during was so how sad that some think 30 % is good. Even Fox opinion had bush''s approval rating at 27% just a few days ago. www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm How pathetic.

Republicans only method of debate is to appeal to the emotions of UNeducated and ILlogical persons. Republicans insult and discredit anyone who dares to disagree with them. Why? Because the facts of logic and history do not support the idiotic agenda republicans are always trying to advance.

9/11 happened on bush''s watch and 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq. There''s a couple of facts which others like so well.

you libs make me laugh.. but you are the cancer of this nation.. with your emotional and baseless reasoning.
same reason your Democrat led congress has a 9% approval rating, while Bush is at 38% approval. Team Bush has beat you libs every time, now get over it. Oh, Just one more thing to add.. FACT: there have been no terrorist Attacks in the USA since 911.. thanks to BUSH policies.

YEA IOWA! I am now a BIG fan of the smart Iowans (the dems of course). Citizen''s Arrest! That is great! Wouldn''t you just love to kick all the fascist pigs out of the White House? I can''t believe they are still there! Liberals are tolerant until the law is broken, US constitution is spat upon, millions are murdered in Iraq including over 4000 of of own brave people because Duh-bya lied and spent trillions of dollars that we don''t have. Thanks to him, China owns our butt.
So I am so glad to know that somewhere in our country there still lives some decent citizens. Hope you can catch the *** the next time.

Isn''''t is legal to make a citizen''''s arrest?

I belive you can make a citizen''s arrest if you witness someone break the law but that does not give you the right to drum up some charge yourself and make a citizen''s arrest. If you could I would arrest these 4 people and charge them with being stupid in public.
