Scareorism
When Charlie Black says another terrorist attack will show we need McCain, that's "Scareorism."

When they say Obama has no International Experience to avert us from being attacked again, yet the rest of the world is highly interested in Obama winning the election over McCain (What does that say about who's better at International Relations?), it's Scareorism.

When they say the Islamofascists of the world want Obama to win because he's a Muslim, it's Scareorism.

I guess McCain's qualification in International Relations is having no qualms about bombing another country over using diplomacy.

1. No, that's terrorism.

The Republican Party is a terrorist organization.

Ya think that terrorist alert last week was issued independent of the pending tel-com immunity bill?

Nope. Pure terrorism.

3. Technically, it's fascism.

2. The rethugs are doomed, because we are beyond being terrorized.
It hasn't worked for years; now I think people are questioning what is going on. Myself, I'm sort of grinning, because I can't believe a majority of people will buy this now.

4. don't count on it...the latest polls have McBush leading Obama in only one category:
war on terror

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/06/23/blitzer-polls-show-obama-mccain-strong-on-different-issues/

they separate that from Iraq

it all boils down to FEAR, which whitey anderson did a segment on, amazingly enough, entitled the Politics of Fear!!??!!

couldn't believe he couched it in those terms

and the american people have shown that they don't care about torture, being spied on, etc., as long as they're being frightened into believing that only the pugs, who, as they seem to forget, were in power in Sept., 2001, can protect us

if they can keep the M$M focused on that fact, above the economy, above the horrible failures in Iraq/the Afghan, they'll keep things close enough to steal their third consecutive election

5. If WE can keep the public focused on McSame's mgr saying,
'more terror would work for him', maybe people would get a clue. I also heard that on Cooper tonight.
