Aren't you one of those guys that accuses Bush of "scaring" people with terrorist talk? How is this any different?

One of the weak points IMO of McCain's response the other night was invoking Pol Pot, etc. We are not Pol Pot. We are not in danger of becoming Pol Pot. Not instantly, not gradually.

It's a ridiculous argument. More pertinent, I don't think it appeals to a majority of Republican primary voters.
