Q, why not post, something related to the reality,
was "Kerry Involved with a group planning assasinations"
for example.
It is factual, and by being direct or even understated, it will be better received.
I can see your point, but you must certainly see where this would be turned into
"freepers compare kerry to osama", or some such.
Also, I think certain words should not be devalued. I was never comfortable with Rush's feminazi, for example. Nazi to me is a historical reference, a standard of horror that merits being a group of one.
Similarly, we are in a war on Terror, against militant religious zealots.
Equating kerry with this is , first, not at all appropriate, and second a degradation of the power of the word.

Okay - so let me ask you this. Is it inappropriate to call ELF (Earth Liberation Front) a terrorist organization?
If you think it is inappropriate, I think you would find yourself in the minority.
If it is not inappropriate, then what has ELF done that compares to plotting to assassinate U.S. Senators?
