ELF refers to themselves as a terrorist group, I think?

I would be more comfortable with another word, another layer of evil. Burning down fancy new unoccupied homes is more of an "insurance irritation group", (and a convenient cover for an over extended contractor...)
Should ELF be considered comparable to AQ?
No.

I lived in Ma for a long time, I have lots of reasons, verified over the long term to not care for Kerry,
and the Big D in general...

So dont get me wrong, I just think that by using such powerful and vitriolic language one would be "preaching to the choir", dismissed by the others.

Technically you can say "terrorist" in this context, yes. I am arguing that it would not be effective.

Glance over to DU, one can read through the entire thing
quickly by skipping over those that begin with the familiar littany of Nazi/vulgarity/tinfoil conspiracy theory etc.

It is not persuasive, the words lose thier power. The result is persistant flameouts. This is amoungst folks who fundamentally agree on things...

It is understandable to wish to pay them back in kind, especially with this factual story. Thier tirades are tiring, to an extreme. Thier entire tone is fatiguing.
Folks will get tired of it, and vote accordingly.

The goal should be to persuade folks on the edge, to pull the one's over who are learning about the Senator from Mass.

This is a very serious subject. Did Kerry stay allied with this group after hearing of these assasination plans...

Was kerry part of a group planning to assasinate senators? is plenty powerful enough, and it is factual.

By creating associations to Right wing tin foil hatters (is there such a beast?) we give the opposition an easy out.
"Clinton Hater" became the generic put down to all the critiques...right? The same has occured in reverse with the Bush haters.

This important issue could be lost in that fog.
