The other day on CNN I saw a commercial for a guy running for DA in which he visciously slandered his opponent (sorry, I can’t remember either person’s names.) One of the things the ad said, in the typical negative ad voice was: > [@](#): > > He opposes the death penalty, even for _terrorists!_ That got me thinking: this motherfucker is a TERRORIST. Let me explain: terrorist = one who tries to use terror in order to further political goals. Thats just what the fucking right winged moron who was running for DA was trying to do (and his ad company): they hope that the use of the word “terrorist” will create such fear that they’ll get elected out of fear. Thus, this fucking machiavellian son of a bitch is trying to exploit the post-Sept 11 terrorism fear to his own politcal ends. So, I’d like to send a big FUCK YOU to all the politician-terrorists like this asshole. (I hope I put enough curses in the post above post to keep it in the Pit.) ---
