Presidential advisor Karl Rove’s speaking engagement in Tigard on Friday has political blogs on the alert and protesters making plans for disruption

KING CITY - Posted on the Washington County Republican Party (washcorep.org) Web site and through a link (republican.meetup.com) is a message about an April 13 Meetup that advertises President George W. Bush’s senior advisor, Karl Rove, as the speaker.

“The Washington County Republicans Party will be hosting a reception with featured guest KARL ROVE,” the posting reads.

The site calls the event a grassroots reception for Rove. The Washington County Republican Party confirmed that Rove was going to make an appearance, and a Tigard police spokesman said the department will be making plans to provide enough security for the president’s advisor during the visit.

The organizers of the event asked on the Web site that those who want to attend pay $60 and sign up before they will be told where the event will be held at, saying nothing more than it will be in Tigard.
