Terrorism is defined as using fear, or terror, to influence the political decisions of an individual or group. Vice President Dick Cheney's flat statement that the United States will be hit again if it elects John Kerry is a nothing more or less than a terrorist threat. It is an attempt to manipulate Americans of all political persuasions by fear. It is an assault against democracy itself. The Vice President is holding a gun to the head of the American electorate and threatening, either reelect my boss and me or suffer the direst of consequences.

Osama bin Laden, meet Osama bin Cheney.
