I’ve always thought Tina Brown was in her 50s, or at least late 40s. She’s the blond British woman who used to be at Vanity Fair.

LOL, that looks a little messy. Despite that, we’re in agreement to the original meaning of the word. I still think it has been bastardized by today’s media, and its use against Conservative is inexcusable. (along the lines of it’s substitution for ‘terrorist’) And I would add, even in its proper context as well.

Even within a Constitutional environment, open dissent is deemed healthy, not a threat. The use of this word was out of context in the extreme IMO.

To: Crystal Cove; All

Crystal cove made a comment to me that made me realize I was thinking of the wrong individual on this thread. I wanted folks to know that I had been thinking of Patti Ann Brown and not Tina Brown.

This makes me realize my position on this thread was entirely wrong. I agree wholeheartedly that Tina Brown is a seasoned reporter who would certainly know what she was saying, and would deserve the comments made on this thread.

Please accept my apology for making comments that were off base. I am sorry if I caused anyone to rethink their sound position. It was not my intention to cause confusion on this issue, and yet I may have. Sorry about that...

Crystal Cove, I appreciate your comments to me. They enabled me to admit my mistake and correct it in a timely manner. Thank you very much.

Oh, you’re welcome. Is the Patti Ann Brown you were thinking of the one who sometimes does the news breaks on Fox News? I think she started on MSNBC.

But, I still think Tina Brown was referring to Pete Sessions’ remarks about the GOP insurgency.

Who is this Tina Brown? Republicans came up with simple and much proven ideas to stimulate the economy than the democrat welfare and pork bill. The Republicans want to provide real tax cuts to the real producers in the country and not giving insignificant $ 500 checks mostly to people who do not pay taxes as in the case of the democrat welfare and pork bill of 2009.

Thanks. She is a total fool but that is now the standard for liberal journalists i.e. 90% of journalists.

Yes, that’s her. She always seems so bland and non-descript, it’s hard for me to imagine her on Red Eye.

The language they use in reference to us is downright scary at times.

"...I’m sick that Roger Ailes has permitted her on FNC..."

Glenn Beck was just added at 5PM.

"Fair and Balanced"?

it has been bastardized by today’s media

Well, that would follow, considering what bastards they are.

But the founding fathers were insurgents were they not?

In early 2010 Obama saw that there was a possibility that the Democrats could lose a lot of ground in the upcoming elections. Thus, he issued an Executive Order declaring the Republican Party as a danger to the nation and that Republicans were the equivalent of "insurgents."

The order was quickly appealed, but friendly federal judges agreed with Obama and upheld the EO.

Within minutes of the EO being upheld, all Republican House and Senate members were removed at gun point by Obama's civil defense force. As they left the Democrats laughed, jeered, and yelled "bi-partisan," which induced more gales of laughter each time someone bellowed it.

And so, just like that *poof* the Republican Party ceased to exist.

Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool.

I am not offended by the description. Our founding fathers declared independence, formed a militia and conducted military operations to achieve a goal. I’m sure England saw them as insurgents or even terrorists. Acting against troops of the crown, I don’t see it that way. I believe they pretty much conducted themselves with honor. They weren’t out blowing up population centers to cause terror. (I’m not implying you were making that case BTW)

We just need to use words, and some of our fatcats need to buy up some media outlets.

Maybe they're waiting until the NYT and LAT go de-listed.

Isn’t she being nasty and vitriolic by labeling Republicans “insurgents”? If not, how you would label that kind of speech?
