"Strong But Wrong."

See Eric's post here for an explanation of the mysterious *'s.

The Rude Pundit is back today with How To Destroy *, Part 3, and he's brilliant again.

Today, we deal with the fear factor. Much has been made about how the Bush campaign has trafficked in fear as a tool to achieve blind loyalty to a failed leader. The problem here is that Bush has only one fear to sell: that terrorists might strike again. Sure, it's a gut-wrenching fear, one that is affirmed again and again by saying, "9/11" endlessly. But that's it for *'s list of bugaboos. It's time for Kerry to sell fear, but he can do it on a much broader scale...The underlying message of a Kerry campaign based on fear has to be "* Wants To Kill You."

Here's how:

There's stem cell research...
There's the assault weapons ban...
There's the environment...
This list could go on and on...
There's your talking point for the day: "Strong But Wrong."
