What happened is that Nate Silver took the polls at 100% face value, and they turned out to be right.

Nate Silver took each poll and applied corrections to them based on their historical performance. I have no idea how you turn that into the above sentence. The corrections were in pretty much all cases, biased the way you would expect for each organization. Some organizations had historical left biases, and others historical right biases. All the biases were errors. Nate simply paid attention on how to correct the errors. The politicians instead thought the errors were correct. Hence old Rove's meltdown on live TV.
