In this morning's PR speech, Bush now calls Insurgents "REJECTIONISTS"

[cyberpj]

in·sur·gent (in-sûr?j?nt) adjective
Rising in revolt against civil authority or a government in power; rebellious.
noun
1. One that revolts against civil authority.
2. A member of a political party who rebels against its leadership.

I couldn't find an entry for REJECTIONIST but here's rejection:

re·jec·tion (ri-jek?sh?n) noun
1. The act of rejecting or the state of being rejected.
2. Something rejected.
3. Medicine. The failure of a recipient's body to accept a transplanted tissue or organ as the result of immunological incompatability; immunological resistance to foreign tissue.

I guess he actually has a point there...

[ISUGRADIA]

1. REJECTIONISTS? wtf!

this must be newspeak, double plus good...

[Crayson]

7. Sounds like a religion to me....

[jackbourassa]

25. Is rejectionist even a word?

I've never heard that word used until now.

[LittleClarkie]

26. No, but neither is "Saddamist"

The Shrub was on a roll today.

[wryter2000]

2. I heard that

Reminded me of when Raygun got all petulant and said, "I'm not going to call them contras. I'm going to call the freedom fighters." He can call them rutabagas, if he wants. That doesn't change reality.

[cyberpj]

3. Rutabagas......(chuckle)

Hi wryter2000 :hi:

Too bad we didn't have a Bingo card for this one, huh?

[wryter2000]

18. Yeah

But I was in the bathtub and would have gotten the card wet. :evilgrin:

:hi:

4. What was the name of that War on Terror this week?

Same old shit with a couple new words. 35 pages of same ol same ol. He said nothing new, just spit out what he knows best..........we're gonna win or we'll never leave. And if he has his way, we won't ever leave.

[Yoda Yada]

15. They're trying for "War on Humanity" instead of "War on Terror". n/t

[slor]

5. We would not be fighting "rejectionists" if...

he had allowed the "Inspectionists" to finish their jobs, and allowed the world to have seen that the WMDs were a lie.

[cyberpj]

10. Good one.

And they'd better be careful because their new word sounds a lot like "Protectionists" --as in those who can't let go of their oil.

[Contrary1]

17. And after hearing what Slumpy had to say today...

I became a projectionist. :puke:

[Richardo]

13. .

:spray:

"Inspectionists" :rofl:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. Oh, good grief. The speechwriters and policy whores at the WH must have

just about popped a cranial artery or two coming up with that one. "Rejectionist" really flows trippingly off the tongue, doesn't it? I do like that definition, "resistance to foreign tissue." Wonder how long it will be before Pox News starts using the new word? George Orwell would be so proud.

[keta11]

8. Are they also suicidalists?

[VaYallaDawg]

9. I can't imagine him getting his JBeam-slurred tongue around that one

[truthisfreedom]

11. yeah, right. remember when they floated "homicide bombers?" or

that stupid acronym as the replacement for "war on terrah?"

watch for this wordplay to disappear within a month.

[Dark]

12. I would think that 'Seditionists' would benefit Bush better.

Anarchist also seems more applicable to Bush's standards.

Rejectionist doesn't have the same menacing tone that those have to scare people.

Maybe they are trying to downplay the insurgency, make it seem like nothing more than a minor irritation. . .

[Yoda Yada]

14. They're desperate to find the right "word spin". n/t

[jokerman93]

16. This is so over the top!

~Saddam-ists

~Rejection-ists

~Terra-ists

Now, THAT covers just about everybody - even me! I reject Bush's war.

Seriously, who the HELL gets paid to make this sh*t up??? :wtf:

I think we should call his bluff and start a rejectionist movement in the U.S.. Let's see if Bush wants to fight the "rejectionists" here instead of there.

[cyberpj]

19. The U.S. Rejectionist movement just isn't called that.

That would take some really really large ones.

But it exists.

[Cha]

20. "Rejectionists" actually

sounds better to me..more appropriate.

Did they do a test audience with that?

[hadrons]

21. rejectionists = rejects = losers (per The Cunning Realist)

someone also posted there:

Actually, 'rejectionist' is not new (though it might not have made the dictionaries.) Back in the '70s, Palestinian groups who rejected the idea of any peace with Israel, and would work to scuttle any agreement that (e.g.) got back only some of the original Palestine, were called 'rejectionists'. (George Habash, for instance.)

[No Exit]

22. Just like Burke and Hare in the 19th century!

Oh... wait... those were resurrectionists.

Well, with his pronunciations, it hardly matters.

[win_in_06]

23. Rove has been burning the midnight oil to come up with that one

[Morning Dew]

24. Are "rejectionists" related to

the "dead enders" that we cleared out so long ago?

How long before they're in the final throes?

[Dr Fate]

27. The Rejectionists. The Dead Enders. They sound like Punk band names. n/t

n/t

[ngGale]

28. Iraq is rejecting our occupation...

of their country.:evilgrin:
