Interesting perspective...the left has ideas but the right has discipline...

[Exterminator]

Read in an article today...

"...people who like ideas and dislike authority tend to identify with the Democratic left, while people who feel threatened by new ideas and more comfortable in a disciplined and ordered world tend to identify with the Republican right. Democrats and progressives let a thousand flowers bloom. Republicans and the right issue directives. This has been the yin and yang of American politics and culture. But it means that the Democratic left's new ideas often fall victim to its own notorious lack of organization and to the right's highly-organized fear mongering."

[Henry Hawk]

You mean like Obama saying ..... "By now, it's clear to everyone that we have inherited an economic crisis as deep and dire as any since the days of the Great Depression. Millions of jobs that Americans relied on just a year ago are gone; millions more of the nest eggs families worked so hard to build have vanished. People everywhere are worried about what tomorrow will bring.
Because each day we wait to begin the work of turning our economy around, more people lose their jobs, their savings and their homes. And if nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse."

Or  Al Gore claiming the oceans will rise 20 feet in 20-years IF we don't act promptly?

"If the Senate doesn't pass a bill to cut global warming, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer says, there will be dire results: droughts, floods, fires, loss of species, damage to agriculture, worsening air pollution and more."

you mean THIS kind of fear mongering?..

Or  Al Gore claiming the oceans will rise 20 feet in 20-years IF we don't act promptly?

Do you have a source for that quote?

There's a big difference between facing the facts and "fear mongering."

[Exterminator]

Based on your definition, Henry, setting off the fire alarm inside of a burning building would be considered fear-mongering.

Fear Mongering ....

WASHINGTON - The national Republican Party has mailed a fundraising appeal suggesting Democrats might use an overhaul of the health care system to deny medical treatment to Republicans.
......

'Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. capitol, the Pentagon, a judge's home and killed Americans,' the recorded message said. 'And Democrats will enact an extreme leftist agenda if they take control of Washington. Barack Obama and his Democratic allies lack the judgment to lead our country.'

........

    In a stark new brochure Wednesday, the Republican National Committee subtly plays on the false belief held by many Americans that Barack Obama is a Muslim, an Arab, or somehow un-American.

    "Terrorists don't care who they hurt," says the cover the brochure, arriving in mailboxes Wednesday in the battleground state of Virginia.

    The words appear over a picture of someone in shadow eyeing or photograhing the front of an airplane, an apparent reference to the fact that terrorists used hijacked airplanes to kill Americans in 2001.

    Flip open the brochure, and the photo is of Obama.
    ...
    "Barack Obama," it says, "Not who you think he is."

Henry did his best to propagate those lies on Hey Martha before the election.

[Bo D]

Another type of fear mongering .... falsely attributing quotes ....

"Or  Al Gore claiming the oceans will rise 20 feet in 20-years IF we don't act promptly?"

......

and lying about Health Care Reform ...

"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's "death panel"

"Illegal immigrants will get free health care."

[Bo D]

Or .....

Claiming that grapes can't grow in England (in rebuttal to global warming)

or ....

Posting pictures of a prison in Europe and claiming they are photos of a "luxury" prison in the U.S.
