i love your presumptive nominee, folks. chances are you won't be seeing video of this statement at all this fall. nope i am sure no one will make a campaign ad featuring barack hussein obama stating clearly and on the record:
"i'm the insurgent"

ya think?
come fall, say mid to late october, i can see an ad showing a clip of him saying "i'm the insurgent" with his full name below the picture and cut to a news report saying "insugents killed 35 in a suicide bombing today" back to him saying "i'm the insurgent" then another news report of "insurgents beheaded 12 people" and continue in that vein for 30 senconds. as john mclaughlin would say, "bye bye."

Main Entry: 1in·sur·gent
Pronunciation: -jənt
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin insurgent-, insurgens, present participle of insurgere to rise up, from in- + surgere to rise — more at surge
Date: 1765
1: a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government; especially : a rebel not recognized as a belligerent
2: one who acts contrary to the policies and decisions of one's own political party
Just throwing some facts into the ring--as if those mattered.
He IS an insurgent in the Dem party--he's running against a member of the "establishment" with a strong organization and even the superdelegates who assumed Clinton would win (some even before their respective primaries) are defecting and going to his side, which can also be seen as rebelling against the accepted, conventional wisdom.
How is this an ANY way more disturbing than the McCain refrain "Bomb Iran?" With far less violent consequences I might add...

Because that word is used to describe some terrorist action does not mean that its legitimate usage should be dropped. If anyone would have checked they would have seen that the media has been using that word to describe Obama's campaign for some time now and the following are only a few instances:
http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/feb/05/hope-for-obama-reaches-the-coasts/
"As the clock ticked down toward today's coast-to-coast contests, Obama's insurgent campaign has been buoyed by new poll results showing the national contest tightening."
http://www.westmonster.com/2008/02/obama_what_its_gonna_take.html
"So, there you have it. Obama's insurgent campaign has, from the very beginning, been a long shot. And it yet could work out for him, but he has to deliver on the expectations, not screw up, and surprise everyone in either Ohio or Texas. That's a perfect storm, and it will not be easy for him."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jan/09/hillaryclinton.usa1
"That participation, and the demonstration of sympathy for Clinton, succeeded in halting Obama's insurgent campaign in its tracks."
http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/07/25/289133.aspx
"The Politico writes that Obama’s camp is planning a classic insurgent campaign “to wrest the Democratic nomination from Hillary Rodham Clinton"
http://www.sptimes.com/2007/05/13/Opinion/The_easy_case_for_Pre.shtml
"Clinton remains the favorite for the nomination, but her aura of inevitability collapsed last month when finance reports showed Obama's insurgent campaign had actually outraised the New York senator, nearly $25-million to $19-million."
http://www.arkansasnews.com/archive/2008/01/30/DavidJSanders/345080.html
"Nearly five years before Bill Clinton would be fighting off Barack Obama's insurgent candidacy on behalf of his wife's presidential candidacy (and his own legacy)"

yep, i think those arguments will be quite effective against the aforementioned ad concept because the american people are all about nuance. nothing at all to worry about. matter of fact, forget i mentioned it.

Posted: 2/25/08 at 12:56pmSomebody with his name should have thought a bit before using that word. Of course, we have no proof that he isn't a terrorist, now do we?

No proof.

You really are relentless in your madness aren't you? This guy must have really broken your heart. Or, does he owe you money? By the way, I am Brendan Stryker, and Mary_Ethel, Jose, QUIBLER and a few others I can't remember. I thought we had already established that, many times over. So what? Nobody seems to care but you.

I NEVER accused you of being Mary_Ethel.
Ever.

I didn't say you "accused" me (what a paranoid word to use!) of being Mary_Ethel, I said I am Mary_Ethel; and, all those other, plus more I cannot recall. Now, so what?

Bam Bam works for me
foolish for the Jr Senator (D) from IL try to portray himself as a political outsider, or is he finally conceding that the Jr Senator (D) from New York is more experienced?

Posted: 2/26/08 at 2:36pmexperience is an outmoded rubric of the past. today we look towards tomorrow for what we don't have now and that's what bam bam will give you. that's the new direction!
