Let's parse terrorism

Terrorism is a tactic. It is a tool to inspire fear and manipulate behavior thereby.

So...Couldn't we make the case that those horrible Progress for America ads are psychological terrorism? What about the president who was a "Uniter not a Divider" - before he was the "Decider" - who says that a Democratic victory on Tuesday means the terrorists win?

How can anyone take seriously a president who openly proclaims a "Global War on Terror" when he embraces the tactics of those he so vehemently denounces?

Just wondering about that little bit of Orwellianism.
