Obama Campaign Manager, Jim Messina, Calls for 'Insurgent Campaign' in Obama's 2012 Run

Jim Messina, Obama’s former deputy chief of staff-turned-campaign manager, released a strategy video to supporters outlining the campaign’s initial steps toward securing victory next fall.

"We ought not act like an incumbent, we’ve got to act like an insurgent campaign that wakes up every single day, trying to get every single vote we can."
Someone should tell Jim Messina (Obama's campaign manager, not the singer ;) the real definition of an insurgent. Or perhaps he should choose better wording.

Here's the definition:

"A person who rises in forcible opposition to lawful authority, especially a person who engages in armed resistance to a government or to the execution of its laws."

Now imagine how that sounds if Obama were to get a second term? Does this mean we will be seeing Black Panthers and ACORN members "volunteering" at polling places with night sticks? Does that mean we'll see Organizing for America chaining themselves together and blocking polling stations in areas around the nation that are not as supportive of Obama?

While i doubt it i wouldn't put it past some of Obama's bobbleheaded supporters.

Or, even worse, acts of extreme violence we only see in other more politically unstable countries. I wouldn't put that past some of the more extreme Obama supporters either. This could very well be what Jim Messina, whether intentional or not, looks to wake up inside Obama supporters as if they're the 'personal army' to secure his re-election.

Truthfully, how else are we supposed to take such a statement directly coming from Obama's campaign manager? Especially when many of Obama's supporters are a bit unhinged when it comes to the 'cult'. If anyone in the center or right would've said this it'd be all over the media. Of course, we'll hear none of it on mainstream news. Even if, in the very unlikely event, such "election securing" by Obama supporters came true.
