Reply #11: Normally the label insurgent would apply when the incumbent [View All]

is being challenged from someone from his/her own party for the nomination.

The use of "insurgent" by a chickenhawk GOP incumbent is more sinister. It is a ridiculous attempt to link Hackett to the Iraqi insurgency. This is no accident by the idiot DeWine. Bush has already accused Democrats of betraying and demoralizing the troops and giving comfort to America's enemies because Democratic leaders are asking about the way the Bush dictatorship lied about WMDs.

We can expect to see more of these smears in the future by other GOP incumbents fearful of losing control of Congress.
