14. "Terrorist" Is Now a One-Size Fits All Word
In the simplistic world of the right wing...where there's only black or white/good or evil, broad strokes are always applied in spreading the fear and hatred. "Terrorism" and the so-called "War on Terrorism" are easy terms for a boosh and Rove to use to get a blank check on killing, destroying civil liberties and going into endless wars. It also is what keeps his political base cemented. While a Repugnican may not agree with Repugnicans about abortion or immigration, when the word "terror" is played then all the boogie men how up and the divisions slip away. They bleat like sheep.

Part of Israel's biggest PR job right now is to keep the support of the American right wing. They're flooding the airwaves and talk shows to play the Israel is on the front lines on the "War on Terror" game...so that those Repugnicans who may get weak knees will "get with the program"...and reduce the criticism within the GOOP by their own anti-semites.

We were just bystanders of a PR battle for the "hearts and minds" of the Rushbo and O'Reilly listeners.
