The main argument of of the blogger is that Karl Rove should not have, in any way, been talking poorly about how the Obama administration is handling themselves in the war the Bush administration left them with. Using the "appeal to tradition", the author shows how the past eight years of the bush administration have been absolutely terrible with their "tradition" of policies. the author also uses "ad ignoratium" as a way to validate his claims. He says that just because Karl Rove was part of the Bush adminstration for some time, he has no right to speak badly about an administration that was left to clean up the mistakes of the previous administration. The author believes that Karl Rove should be barred from saying such things, as most people do, and believes that we have to power to stop him.
