- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -11/+105This "journalist" is married to Dan Senor. This is how Media Matters describes him: "a former adviser for the now-defunct Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq who is now reportedly serving as an adviser to Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney."
That's our damn liberal media for ya! - vulminiha, on 11/30/2007, -7/+63"Insurgent [noun]: a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government;"
Personally, I'd take that as a compliment. - IrishJoe, on 11/30/2007, -5/+57The wife of a former Bush Administration CPA adviser and current adviser to Mitt Romney who just happens to be a CNN anchor calls a group opposed to the war American Insurgents. Perfect. What's the definition of terrorist? One who inspires terror and fear in the public? Our Corporate Mainstream Media are Terrorists by that definition.
- iching, on 11/30/2007, -7/+59HR 1959 is a thought crime bill that could brand the right or the left for a 1984 type of "improper thinking" making them enemies of the state.
- lucidguru, on 11/30/2007, -12/+52Don't you have to be armed to be considered an insurgent? I thought an insurgency was an armed uprising. My guess is that the MoveOn.org people are probably the least likely of all Americans to be armed. Cambell Brown is a douche.
- kanabiis, on 11/30/2007, -5/+43When did being anti-war become unamerican? I don't understand this mentality. War should be the very LAST resort. Violence is the mark of a weak, unevolved mind. Civilized humans do all they can to avoid conflict and violence.
- crzdmn, on 11/30/2007, -10/+43Guess I'm and American Insurgent then. I support Move On. I sign most their petitions, and hell I'll march on the capital with them if I can get the time off.
- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -16/+46That's funny. As far as I can tell, Petraeus made his reputation lying to Congress.
- StatiK69, on 11/30/2007, -5/+32We're all American Insurgents then. Me too. I obey the laws, I pay my taxes and I believe in freedom so I must be an insurgent. At the rate the government is going, pretty soon we'll all be classified as insurgents in not only the eyes of "media" but the government as well.
- airwalkery2k, on 11/30/2007, -3/+29But... but... right-wingers keep telling me how CNN is a liberal organization.
- iAlex, on 11/30/2007, -3/+29CNN - The treasonous distorting propaganda traitor media.
- NekoIan, on 11/30/2007, -5/+25Shall we talk about Rupert Murdoch's Media Empire?
- eatspaste, on 11/30/2007, -1/+20Since when did national military leaders become infallible?
- idiotic, on 11/30/2007, -2/+21why does campbell brown hate America?
- spyd3rweb, on 11/30/2007, -3/+22I believe the proper term is Patriot.
- ZenMojo, on 11/30/2007, -2/+20Clearly, then, Admiral Fallon, the head of Centcom, is an elitist moron for calling Petraeus a, quote, "ass-kissing *****."
- ZenMojo, on 11/30/2007, -3/+20We are many of us insurgents. Our government no longer represents us and flouts both democracy and common decency. On the other hand, Campbell Brown's *****-eating grin offers nothing but derisible, world-blind commentary. Let's lock her and that angry old coot Cafferty in a room and see who gets out with their dignity and self-esteem still intact (my money's on Jack).
- zanzzz, on 11/30/2007, -5/+21Yes things are going so well in Iraq that nobody knows how long our troops will be over there. Perhaps another 50 years like Korea, who knows? Will you be volunteering to pay more taxes to foot the massive costs involved? Didn't think so.
- EarlOfLade, on 11/30/2007, -3/+19Is that a common thing on the right? To run away from difficult issues? Isn't that kind of telling the world you can not handle the fire?
I personally, prefer to stay and fight for what I believe in, but I understand the right doesn't have the balls to do so, nor to sign the dotted line and go to war. - inactive, on 11/30/2007, -9/+25The neocons in the white house think nobody will stand up to them and then cry when someone does...so more power to moveon. Keep fighting the good fight.
- Urusai, on 11/30/2007, -1/+15That job of yours, and those monthly bills you gotta make? Those are your shackles of servitude. Welcome to Slavery 2.0
- atdigg, on 11/30/2007, -1/+15we can't be sure till we waterboard you.
- pintomp3, on 11/30/2007, -4/+18except with facts.
- funkyjunk3, on 11/30/2007, -3/+16http://definr.com/terrorist
adj : characteristic of someone who employs terrorism (especially
as a political weapon); "terrorist activity"
n : a radical who employs terror as a political weapon
*Note the second definition: terror, political weapon. Hmm, I wonder what upper-level US official this describes... - adooga, on 11/30/2007, -4/+16Peace is just so unAmerican
- vulminiha, on 11/30/2007, -1/+13Folks, I was talking about being called an 'American Insurgent' y'know, like the article. Standing up to authority was actually what this country was founded on. George Washington was an insurgent.
- bjornski, on 11/30/2007, -2/+13Maybe the rallying cries to brand MoveOn "enemies of the state"?
Oh no! Someone mentioned something not pertaining exactly to the narrowly focused article! Bury them! - bolognium, on 11/30/2007, -1/+12you really cannot see the link?
- jeliel, on 11/30/2007, -2/+12This is one of the steps in The End of America. Where opposition is labeled as traitors, enemies. Mmmmmm
- madroneDorf, on 11/30/2007, -1/+11thats if you win after
- leftyslament, on 11/30/2007, -0/+10Yeah, I think iching meant H.R. 1955, the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007"
- kanabiis, on 11/30/2007, -3/+13I hear this excuse from people all the time, my retort is, show me one person of importance on record rooting for the terrorists. One, one, just one.... Being anti-war is in no way rooting for the enemy, to even suggest that is a red hearing at the least, and certainly intellectually dishonest.
But the rhetoric certainly gets the masses all riled up against us 'anti-war types'. But I guess being for the war means you want americans dead right? right?
Stop taking your talking points from chickenhawks. Anyone pro-war should be forced to fight, lets see how pro-war you are then. - Ellipsys, on 11/30/2007, -3/+13Are you trolling, or just a fool? Anyone who insults a military leader is an elitist moron? Are you so afraid of ivory tower intellectuals fighting for your freedom? If said military leader is a stooge of the administration and/or is pressured into giving anything but the total and complete truth about a military operation that involves the loss of american lives, an "insult" is the least they deserve. What sort of jingoistic world do you want to live in, when the military is completely above reproach?
- Identity4, on 11/30/2007, -1/+10There is no distinction between right and left anymore. They both exist to sell crap, pillage loot, and keep us divided and suspicious of eachother.
- cranium, on 11/30/2007, -1/+10Technically, no.
Insurgent: 1: a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government;
Revolt: 1: to renounce allegiance or subjection (as to a government) - EarlOfLade, on 11/30/2007, -0/+8When?
How about in the 1950's? The House select committee on Un-American Activities? - ylikone, on 11/30/2007, -4/+12What the f*** are they bravely risking their lives for? WHAT?! All they are doing is helping spread hatred... the world hating the US. Is that what the brave soldiers are risking their lives for? What kind of f***ing leader would send his men out to fight for this? Why do you people like you support that leader!? It's all just SICK!!
- BigBallistix, on 11/30/2007, -1/+9I really wish people would stop using 'patriotism' as a weapon against their own people, or more specifically; their open-mindedness. It's the same in Australia, it's disgusting. It all just promotes racism and bigotry.
- TopherT, on 11/30/2007, -1/+8Nobody has to pay bills if they don't want to. You won't die without electricity and cable.
- dalittle, on 11/30/2007, -3/+10Interesting that really conservative US citizens blew up the Oklahoma City Gov Building, an actual terrorist attack. Or is that to long ago to be remembered
- pilljar, on 11/30/2007, -12/+19if you ain't wit us, then you against us yee haw... lol what a prick face.
- PhilLesh69, on 11/30/2007, -0/+7Our current political system is all about destroying the opposition's opinions and policies. Debate and compromise are bad words to these politically extremist ideologues on both sides.
Dissent used to be considered the lifeblood of a democratic society. Now even simply disagreeing is slowly being redefined into a class worthy of being sent to Guantanamo for waterboarding.
And don't think for a minute that a democrat isn't a party to all of this, as well. Both Hillary and Rudy would delight in shipping off their opposition to camp x-ray. Both parties are filled with extremists. - rhedwolf, on 11/30/2007, -4/+11CNN: Corrupt News Network
- demonsnake69, on 11/30/2007, -1/+7A CNN employee saying this is a good thing because it only makes CNN look worse.
- pintomp3, on 11/30/2007, -2/+8u mean the war-mongering evangelicals?
- inactive, on 11/30/2007, -2/+8Desperate insults of a failure. You're in the minority now, 24 percenter. You are the un-American. And that is the way it is always going to be.
- pintomp3, on 11/30/2007, -0/+6corporate news network. they are all pretty much the same.
- MacSuxWindozSux, on 11/30/2007, -0/+6The constitution gives American citizens the duty to resist and overthrow irresponsible government.
- g00dETH3R, on 11/30/2007, -2/+8CNN = New FOX
- Pake, on 11/30/2007, -1/+6Umm, you do realize that MoveOn.org is HUGELY democratic and has helped raise millions of dollars for the democrats, right? They are most connected group to one political party there is currently in the USA.
