What really cracks me up is how Rove et al keep bagging on conservatives who said Obamacare needed total repeal. Well, they were right. It DOES need total repeal and most likely that will happen, after much pain and suffering. Even Charles Krauthammer gets that. I suppose he's a Wackobird too?
Sorry, I just don't relate to this gang at all. 'Tis a pity.

All Republicans have voted for repeal of ObamaCare over 35 times.
No Republican has ever voted for ObamaCare or failed to vote for legislation calling for its repeal.

Gang?
KARL ROVE: Well, let’s be clear. What he’s after are a group of Washington, D.C. based groups, Club for Growth, Freedomworks, Heritage Action, principally, that he believes have put his members in a bad place, by in his view, bullying and threatening them with consequences if they don’t vote the way that they think ought to vote.
What's to disagree with? They have promised to primary and threatened constantly with consequences....which is what most applaude. Any strategy short of repeal sends these groups into a tailspin, just a fact. The repeal votes have been unanimous and a lose every time.

What did the groups you cited and the Tea Party at large think was gonna happen when they repeatedly threatened Republicans?
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
Rove pointed out that conservative Republicans resented being lectured to by the head of Heritage Action Group, Mike Needham, a 32 year old kid who formerly worked on the Rudy Giuliani campaign.
The Tea Party types picked this fight and now they're whining like a bunch of bratty kids, acting as though the guys they've been attacking aren't supposed to counter back.
