I never said that. So because I disagree with pat-downs in public places, suddenly I'm a LIBERAL? What happened to Free Republic???? When was it taken over by the idiot Sean Hannity wing of conservatism???? Oh, wait.. I know. When they elected that idiot in the White House.
No, when you deny and/or minimize their existence by referring to terrorists as "bogeymen". Here is the Wikipedia definition:
The bogeyman, also boogeyman, boogyman, or bogyman, is a legendary ghost-like monster that children often believe is real....The term bogeyman is also used metaphorically to mean a person or thing of which someone else has an irrational fear.
One can attempt to make a case that it's irrational to fear terrorists will attack within the US, but given 9/11, the first Trade Towers attack, John Muhammad murdering people on highways, the Lackawana gang etc., not to mention the Jewish center in my own town of Seattle that makes it seem ostrich (or DU) like to attempt to claim they are some sort of fabrication.
