Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!Karl Rove has done it again. He's turned legitimate political debate into partisan propaganda. In an e-mail to Politico this weekend, the former George W. Bush uber-strategist who has long been accused of assorted dirty tricks, blasted President Obama for cooking up an "enemies list." And on "Fox News Sunday," he charged that Obama was creating "some kind of enemies list," adding, "How dare the president do this."

Daniel Schorr, the pioneering broadcast journalist who earned his way on to President Nixon's "enemies list," died Friday at a Washington hospital after a short illness. He was 93.

Bill and Hillary Clinton, and their supporters, are compiling and maintaining an "enemies list," according to a report by the NY Times' MARK LEIBOVICH: Doug Band, chief gatekeeper to former President Bill Clinton...keeps close track of the past allies and beneficiaries of the Clintons who supported Mr. Obama's campaign, three Clinton associates and campaign officials said. ...
