Seriously: calling Brandt a "terrorist" is

offensive hyperbole. Here are some minimal definitional standards
that should apply before seriously labeling someone a terrorist: Have
they done anything illegal? Have they done anything violent?
I agree with Sheldon completely on this point.
I think George has said some very thoughtful things, but I think he went
too far with this remark.
Remember, if Brandt is as bad as terrorists, then this means that
terrorists are no worse than Brandt. Let's not devalue the moral
impact of important words.
