Seriously: calling Brandt a "terrorist" is clearly inappropriate and 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.
