Using your own logic, then anything you disagree with is fear mongering? Kindly explain where you would draw the line between fear mongering and simply expressing an opinion? Right now, it appears you make no distinction at all... If I said I think it will rain tomorrow and you disagree, is that fear mongering? What if I said it will be sunny tomorrow and you disagree, would that be fear mongering? Just what is the difference between fear mongering and expressing an opposing view? TIA You might consider expanding your vocabulary to go beyond the typical trite political labeling of opinions, labeling doesn't begin a dialogue, it ends the dialogue... liberals say they want to take a new direction, but all they do is dredge up the same old has-been phrases and labels we've all heard before, blaming and attacking, it's rather sickening...

You are evading the fear mongering by republicans by just complaining that the democrats are also fear mongering. That's a good point. Tu Quoque: Translation: "You, also" or "You're another" (Latin) Type: Argumentum ad Hominem, Two Wrongs Make a Right Example: Q: Now, the United States government says that you are still funding military training camps here in Afghanistan for militant, Islamic fighters and that you're a sponsor of international terrorism.… Are these accusations true? … Osama Bin Laden: …At the time that they condemn any Muslim who calls for his right, they receive the highest top official of the Irish Republican Army at the White House as a political leader, while woe, all woe is the Muslims if they cry out for their rights. Wherever we look, we find the US as the leader of terrorism and crime in the world. The US does not consider it a terrorist act to throw atomic bombs at nations thousands of miles away, when it would not be possible for those bombs to hit military troops only. These bombs were rather thrown at entire nations, including women, children and elderly people and up to this day the traces of those bombs remain in Japan. The US does not consider it terrorism when hundreds of thousands of our sons and brothers in Iraq died for lack of food or medicine. So, there is no base for what the US says and this saying does not affect us.… Source: "CNN March 1997 Interview with Osama bin Laden"
