I was browsing the ‘net looking for political videos when I saw a couple that use fear to try to sway opinion. The first, from the political right, is a McCain campaign ad against Barack Obama.
None of what is in the ad is even remotely true; it uses fear and lies to try to cement in the minds of voters that because the Democratic presidential candidate has an Arab-sounding name, he must therefore be a terrorist or someone with ties to terrorists. The second ad is a creation of the left, used against Republican John McCain.
Now, most if not all of what is in this video is undeniably true; McCain supports and promotes the lies and imperial policies of the Bush-Cheney regime, and his dictatorship would continue them on what perhaps would be an even larger scale. Nevertheless, the video still uses fear in an attempt to dissuade voters from casting their ballots for McCain.
Webster’s Dictionary defines terrorism thus:
the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion
Just some food for thought. Enjoy Columbus Day.
