Nothing to learn, H. Camp is not an abbreviation or “short” for campaign. They have different meanings, even if the two words are related. (Camp- is the root word for campaign of course.)

You know you’re flat wrong and just don’t have the balls to admit it.

This is precisely why, other than to harass you when you make unforced errors like this, it’s utterly pointless to bother with you.

You’re simply incapable of honest discourse, ’cause you can’t admit that you’re as human as the rest of us.

Proof:

A number of people here have disagreed with Carrick from time to time, but no sane person has ever doubted his integrity or his intelligence!

On another note any sane person might choose to doubt my sanity!

Rob:

But until then…when you see his avatar just keep scrolling.

LOL. Great suggestion.

Hannitized:

I was right, I am right and you all know it.

If that is true, then my examples of the use of camp/campaign – posted above – are in error.

YOU are the guy who claimed that “camp” is not used for campaign, NOT ME.
Well that’s good, because it isn’t used for campaign, and you were just mistaken.

It’s too bad in your screwed up mind, you can never admit to being wrong. But that’s your problem, bud.

So find an example where someone refers to “The Obama camp” that isn’t referring to his campaign.

OK:

I think the Obama camp has learned that if you repeat the implausible lie often enough it works.

Camp and Campaign originated from the same word, campus, before they were separated.

So if someone was talking about the University campus that would mean that the University is running for office.

We aren’t talking the evolution of the terms, we are talking about modern day English.

In fact when the press uses the word “camp” to talk about a campaign they are being lazy and imprecise. I suppose they think it jazzes up their writing, but talking about the camp when they mean campaign is not correct.

One consequence of that is that it confuses morons like Hannitized.

You didn’t use it in that context. You said McCain camp.

The gift that keeps on giving.

You truly are a idiot among idiots.

Proof:

Great! Now someone has to explain to this moron what “short” means! Heh.

Well, I’m supposing a former girlfriend told him that he had a “short penis” and he now assumes short means “a great length”.

Just kidding.

PP,

If that is true, then my examples of the use of camp/campaign – posted above – are in error.

Your use of the words are irrelevant. 97.8% or more use the word camp in the context that supports my position, not Whistlers. Do you admit that, yes or no?

Let’s see how much credibility you lack.

H is correct.

poof, why don’t you move on to the definition of: is.

You guy’s are buried.

Camp is not an abbreviation or “short” for campaign.

It is synonymous. As I proved by showing examples from Reuters, ABC, Wall St. Journal, Forbes, Huff-po, FoxNews, Yahoo News, Politico and Yahoo News, that all used the word camp in substitution for Campaign.

I proved that by referencing FAQ.ORG

…I’m not voting either of these bozos.

And because of this, the inaccuracy and hypocrisy from a conservative is excused? Excuse me? That was a brilliant example of delving in irrelevancy. Now go ahead and tell me about my irrelevant points.

I’m just noting that you liberals have done nothing to raise debate over any issue of substance.

Gee, really Carrick? I almost lost that point, thanks for pointing out the obvious.

I know what you are saying, what I am suggesting is that you are completely wrong. Why don’t you go to the WashingtonMonthly site and see what liberals really argue. That is a true blog, this blog, is a joke.

All you do is play word games, twist facts, and dwell in total irrelevancy.

Pshaw. I don’t expect you to have the intellectual honesty to recognize the un-spinning of word games and un-twisting of facts that is necessary to respond to Rob and Proof lies.

You see it as word games because you agree with them and their lies and you sit idly by while they do it.

Our country is a strong nation. It will need to be to survive Carter, the Reign of Error, Part II.

God. And his is the next Carter because why? Because you feel it in your tummy?

Do you even recognize how emotional your supposed superior arguments are? We have no idea how effective, or not Obama is going to be. But lets examine your logic.

Do you agree with the Bush administrations approach to handling the issues we face (foreign, domestic, ect)? If so, is any other Republican going to be just as big a failure because they will carry the same ideologies?

Please explain. Let’s see what it is that you have to offer.

Democrats believe that the Obama camp chose Biden, known for his vociferous critiques of the Bush administration, to help fill perceived gaps in Obama’s résumé with his foreign policy experience.

So let’s examine this sentence Carrick. Lets see if you have intellectual honesty and intelligence.

If camp only has one meaning, how can a camp speculate on what it did? Shouldn’t they know what they did, and why?

Of course the logical explanation for that sentence is that Democrats (me) guessed on what the campaign did (CAMP), when they picked Biden.

Therefore, I was right when I said “Camp is short for campain”.

It is. And you argued against it in order to make me look the fool. Who is the fool now Carrick. Do you have the courage to admit I was right?

I think this suits the liberals, since they really don’t have much to run on, regarding anything of substance.

Good point Carrick. The Conservative leaning Fox News makes this an issue on national television and it’s the liberals fault.

Aren’t you glad that for gravity? It keeps you sure footed in the upside down world you apparently live in.

Where did you go? Geniuses?

Ha!

You idiots. The word Campaign doesn’t even have the meaning you think it does, according to a literal definition.

Campaign:
1 : a connected series of military operations forming a distinct phase of a war
2 : a connected series of operations designed to bring about a particular result

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/campaign

What you two engauge in is word parsing. That is what you accused me of earlier, and here you are.

For Gods sake. Even CNN uses the word CAMP to substitute for campaign.

News: McCain camp says Americans “remain concerned” about readiness

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/26/gop.reaction/

Democrats believe that the Obama camp chose Biden, known for his vociferous critiques of the Bush administration, to help fill perceived gaps in Obama’s résumé with his foreign policy experience.

Again,

If camp only has one meaning, how can a camp speculate on what it did? Shouldn’t they know what they did, and why?

Of course the logical explanation for that sentence is that Democrats (me) guessed on what the campaign did (CAMP), when they picked Biden.

Therefore, I was right when I said “Camp is short for campain”.

Me and ABC, Forbes…..idiots….right?

McCain Camp Points Out Change in Obama’s Speech
September 29, 2008 5:38 PM

The McCain campaign points out that in his original prepared remarks in a speech in Denver, Colo., today, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was going to say, “Democrats and Republicans in Washington have agreed on an emergency rescue plan that is our best and only way to prevent an economic catastrophe.”

McCain Wins, McCain Camp Says

In the wake of this debate, there’s a lot of discussion about who won/lost. Here’s what McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker has to say:

Campbell Brown Rips McCain Camp’s “Sexist” Treatment Of Palin

A prominent female news anchor chastised the McCain campaign Tuesday evening for engaging in sexism and insulting behavior in its attempt to shield Gov. Sarah Palin from members of the press.

b]McCain Camp Throws Fiorina Under The Bus: “Carly Will Now Disappear”

“Top McCain-Palin official Carly Fiorina is facing criticism from some within the campaign for a day of what they call ‘very Biden-like’ comments,” CNN reports, “after the former Hewlett-Packard CEO told two separate interviewers that neither member of the Republican ticket would be capable of running a company.”

I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY….YOU FOOLS!!

Poof,

How deep are you now? Everybody knows you are wrong Poofy-pie.

You just show how dishonest you are. How pathetically stubborn you can be. You are a idiot.

To carry this further, its OK to have misinterpreted “camp” as meaning “campaign”. It is however folly to continue to argue the point after it has been completely debunked.

Come to think of it, that’s H’s modus operardi…

Add Wall Street Journal and Madison to the list Poofy.

McCain camp must resolve mailing fiasco

The campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain has dispatched a mass mailing to Wisconsin voters — including many Democrats and liberals who are not likely to be McCain backers — that encourages eligible voters to send their applications for absentee ballots to clerks in communities where they do not reside.

The McCain Camp’s Response

The McCain campaign was quick to ridicule Barack Obama’s choice of Delaware Sen. Joseph Biden for a running mate. “There has been no harsher critic of Barack Obama’s lack of experience than Joe Biden,” said McCain spokesman, Ben Porritt. “Biden has denounced Barack Obama’s poor foreign policy judgment and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realizing — that Barack Obama is not ready to be president.”

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2008/08/23/the-mccain-camps-response/

ALL. DAY. LONG!!!

Poof,

its OK to have misinterpreted “camp” as meaning “campaign”.

Take it up with Carrick, he at least has the intellectual honesty to admit the attack on me was unfounded.

So the facts that ABC, CBS, Forbes, Huffpo all use the word Camp to substitute for campaign, is not enough for you?

No, they all use to word to mean “camp“. A simple fact that you don’t have the mentality to comprehend!
What a maroon!

They are synonymous you idiot. Saying that camp is short for campaign is an expression that means the same thing. Dick is short for Richard. Bill is short for William but they are different words with different spellings.

You just don’t get it because you are one of the biggest idiots on this site who confuses context with your imagination.

Camp is not an abbreviation or “short” for campaign.

It is synonymous. As I proved by showing examples from Reuters, ABC, Wall St. Journal, Forbes, Huff-po, FoxNews, Yahoo News, Politico and Yahoo News, that all used the word camp in substitution for Campaign.

Uh, yeah. I knew that! The following three statements are equally true:

Camp is short for campaign.

And its been the Liberals and Democrats who have been assassinated.

Hannitized is not an idiot.

It may seem strange to you Poofy, because you are just stupid, and I am the only guy who knows word origin.

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=camp&searchmode=none

You idiot.

Camp – Definition, Synonym, Meaning, Spelling, Information on Camp

1. a body of troops on campaign;

Heh!

campaign

1647, from Fr., campagne “open country,” from O.Fr. champagne “open country” (suited to military maneuvers), similar to It. campagna, from L.L. campania “level country,” from L. campus “a field” (see campus). Old armies spent winters in quarters and took to the “open field” to seek battle in summer. Extension of meaning from military to political is Amer.Eng. 1809. The verb is first attested 1701.

camp (1)
O.E. camp “contest,” from W.Gmc. *kampo-z, early loan from L. campus “open field” (see campus), especially “open space for military exercise.” Meaning “place where an army lodges temporarily” is 1528, from Fr. camp, from the same L. source. Transferred to non-military senses 1560. Meaning “body of adherents of a doctrine or cause” is 1871. The verb meaning “to encamp” is from 1543. Camp-follower first attested 1810. Camp-meeting is from 1809, usually in reference to Methodists.

Just give it up Poofy.

Dick is short for Richard, but it is not abbreviated. That is just dumb.

Dick is short for what you know, which is very abbreviated. You are just dumb. Heh.

You two are idiots. Why would you even argue that the word Camp is not often used for campaign?

Completely clueless Tiki troll: The fact that there are those in Obama’s camp who are also in his campaign should be no surprise to even a clueless troll like yourself!

There are also those in his camp who are NOT in his campaign. But I doubt that you can see the difference.

The fact that they are two different words with two different meanings seems to have escaped you.

But, keep calling us “idiots”! When the rest of the world sees the caliber of people in Obama’s “camp”, it makes voting for McCain just that much easier for them!

As I said, H, dialog is wasted with you.

But you have to admit, that the sheer entertainment value of watching him misuse the word and still try to present that as evidence for his defense is hilarious!

Actually if you were to read the dictionary you’d see the word doesn’t define itself as “campaign.”

It is defined in part as a group of like minded individuals, which is how I used the term.

Oh Whistler, I have done my due diligence. Do yours. Show me examples of the use of the word camp as you believe it should be used.

YOU WONT, YOU CANT. And why? Because you know that when I said Camp is short for campaign I simply meant they are synonymous.

As I said:

“The Obama camp” has not said anything about the ad. The New York Times did.

Stop attributing other things other people say to Obama, and his campaign. As Rob had stated “I’m getting a little tired of it”.

Liars.

So find an example where someone refers to “The Obama camp” that isn’t referring to his campaign.

YOU CANT!!

Hannitized:

Therefore, I was right when I said “Camp is short for campain”.

Since you are doing very badly in this camp of words, maybe you aught to return to your campaign, meet with your staffers, and take a much-needed rest.

You are – as always – the consumate loser.

This whole discussion is camp.

So gee, how does this work fellas? My use of the word camp is used by 97.8% of the professional media in the context in which i speak, not Whisters and I am the guy to take the heat.

HAHAHA.

You guys are so used to your inverse world you have lost all credibility.

Whistler can not find any examples of the use of the word Camp, by any professional journalist, in the context he used it.

I was right, I am right and you all know it.

I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY….YOU FOOLS!!

The reason you can do it all day, is because you keep making the same mistake over and over agian every time you read the word!
Show me one (1) reputable source that gives your definition of camp as short for campaign. Just one. Any one. That would end the discussion. You can’t do it!
All your examples do is show where the word is used correctly, but you still don’t understand it.

YOU are the guy who claimed that “camp” is not used for campaign, NOT ME

Because it’s not. What a complete and utter buffoon you are! Camp is not short for campaign, although the word camp (different meaning) is used in political connotations.

Come back when you learn English, troll! Until then, the appellation “idiot” belongs to you and you alone! Wear it in good health!

Tell you what, Han-Job: I will give you one more example of how the words are different and then I will leave you to stew in your own stupidity. (BTW, “stew” is not short for “stupidity”)

I am in McCain’s camp. That is to say, I affiliate myself with his ideals and agenda.
I am not in McCain’s campaign in any way shape or form.

I’m telling you troll: GED is the way to go! Enroll soon!

its OK to have misinterpreted “camp” as meaning “campaign”.

Take it up with Carrick, he at least has the intellectual honesty to admit the attack on me was unfounded.

Quote the whole thing, intellectually dishonest dullard: Carrick continues:

It is however folly to continue to argue the point after it has been completely debunked.

“Completely debunked” that would be your definition of camp!
He says that for you to continue to misuse the word after you’ve been shown the proper definition is folly. You probably don’t know that word, either!

In other words, it might have been a natural mistake to make the first time, but to insist on mis-defining the word after your mistake was shown to you is something only a fool would do! (You qualify!)

Do you have the courage to admit I was right?

It’s no more a matter of courage to say you’re right when you’re clearly not, than to say that black is white, hot is cold or apples are oranges.

Carrick said you were mistaken and when your mistake was pointed out to you, you clung bitterly to your mistake rather than be corrected. This is folly. This is vintage Hannitized.

Thus endeth the lesson!

obscure word parsing

Yeah! Obscure words like “camp” and “campaign” on a political blog, no less!

Want me to look up “obscure” for you, too, Han-Job? Heh.

The moron said something moronic and is too stubborn or stupid to admit that he was wrong, and has wasted all of our time trying to teach him what he should have learned in the 3rd. grade. His mother must be so proud!

Carrick: You’ll have to excuse young Hannitized! He sometimes has trouble with words of more than one syllable.

Truth be told, he sometimes has trouble with words of a single syllable!

The words camp and campaign are not completely interchangeable, because contrary to Han-Job’s assertion, “camp” is not short for “campaign”.

There is overlap between the two words, when speaking of things political, but camp is NOT short for campaign.

Never has been. I’ve given him examples that he was too dim to pick up on. And poor, poor H cannot find a single reference book or source that says that it is. He keeps finding the word being used in a similar fashion but it is not the same word. Neither is it “obscure”. Despite what the Prince of Dunces and his consort rbb say it is!

Saying that camp is short for campaign is an expression that means the same thing.

In CrazyHannitizedWorld! You’re there on your own, weirdo!

Or is it “abbreviated” that you’re unclear on?

“Camp” is short for “campaign” the way “lightning” is short for “lightning bug”. The moron Hannitized won’t admit he was wrong, so I just moved on!

Let’s see if you pin heads can find the use of the word as Whislter intended.

None of you will find the abundance amount of examples as I have. None of you will find the use of the word as stupidly used as Whistler suggests it is used.

What idiots.

Have I noticed!!?? Ha! Hannitized utterly lacks the character and common decency to ever do so!

He will split a hair infinitely to avoid doing so.

Whistler: So you’re saying that after ten days, Hannitized hasn’t mastered one single four letter word?
Maybe we could start him on something simpler…like the alphabet?

Camp/Campaign… let’s try this…

During Lee’s desperate Gettysburg camp, Union Soldiers took and held positions on Seminary Ridge.

Nope, doesn’t work.

After the battle, Lee returned in defeat to campaign and, seated near the fire, wrote a letter to his wife.

Nope, doesn’t work either.

Conclusion? Camp and campaign do not have the same meaning and are not interchangeable.

Keep digging Poofy.

I can do this all day long.

H: I challenged you to provide just one reference, one dictionary, one source that defines camp as being short for campaign, not a hundred uses where you mistake the context over and over. Sure! You’ve shown yourself capable of making the same mistake ALL DAY LONG, now try giving us one reference book, one single reputable source that defines the word clearly the way you do.
That’s why you think it’s obscure, because your definition ISN’T THERE!

H is correct.

Like the last time you agreed with H, you were wrong then, you’re wrong now. Then you said he was technically true, when he was dead wrong. Like the two of you morons are again! (Still?)

You know what you need Carrick?

A Online Education!!!

Look it up!!

Carrick,

Scroll up and learn something.

What is wrong with you? Aside from being dishonest, stubborn, and ignorant?

So he’s arguing about my correct, dictionary-approved word usage.

I referred to Time magazine as being in Obama’s camp. H insisted that the only possible use of that word would be short for campaign.

Hahaha! Idiot.

It is synonymous. As I proved by showing examples from Reuters, ABC, Wall St. Journal, Forbes, Huff-po, FoxNews, Yahoo News, Politico and Yahoo News, that all used the word camp in substitution for Campaign.

Whistler, why don’t you find me examples, as I have done, where they use camp in the way you meant it.

You can’t and you wont.

Proof you idiot.

YOU are the guy who claimed that “camp” is not used for campaign, NOT ME.

BTW, Exactly none of the other definitions define “camp” as short for “campaign”. But, thanks for playing! – Proof

You and Whistler missed it by a mile.

I’m sure it’s been down, but I don’t recall seeing “campaign” abbreviated (abr) as “camp.” On the other hand you see the word camp used as definition 8 or 9 all the time.

H is a complete and utter moron.

You guys are just complete and utter morons.

Why don’t you find an example where someone took their time.

One example that doesn’t involve a campaign but rather a group of like minded people.

Many in the pro-gun rights camp

It’s not tough. Consider a likely issue and put it together with camp in a google search field inside of quotation marks.

I did this for example, “Gun rights camp”, and came up with plenty of examples.

Go ahead and keep being a moron.

Rob, when do we get that comment blocker again? Or am I going to have to right my own Firefox add on do it?

Well, I’ve been thinking about that. There may be some big things in the works for SAB, and if it all goes through I’ll have some capital available to do stuff like that.

But until then…when you see his avatar just keep scrolling.

So run away Carrick.

Ask yourself, Hannitized: Is he running away? Or does he just not really care about what you have to say? Or maybe it’s that he feels he doesn’t necessarily have to rebut you, since your clownish buffoonery does a pretty good job on that on its own, and just responds to you when he feels like having some fun?

Anyway, I’m off to the backyard to roast some marshmallows in our campaign. See, we pitched some tents are are campaigning in the back yard.

You guys know what I’m talking about, right? Since camp and campaign are synonyms.
