13. No, I was being kind, using a historical reference..
The Military or the Secret Service...whoever labeled him, not so much!


The meaning of the word RENEGADE:

"renegade"

adjective

1. having deserted a cause or principle; "some provinces had proved recreant";

"renegade supporters of the usurper"

noun

1. someone who rebels and becomes an outlaw
2. a disloyal person who betrays or deserts his cause or religion or political party or friend etc.

another definition included the word "apostate"

14. I know what renegade means, cut that condescending shit.
What you said was out of line, and was rightfully deleted.

19. thin skinned? I'm not even an Obama man...
Edited on Tue Jun-19-07 12:07 AM by dionysus
but you posted a dictionary definition of one who sold out an ideology, or one who robbed, stole, and killed people.

and said it was a fitting definition of Obama.

and you cry about it when called on it. that's weak
