I am so damned sick of this scare word being tossed around to label any kind of protest or action--vandalism, destruction of property, yes, but "terrorism" get a freaking grip, gropenator.

Torch-carrying protesters storm UC Berkeley chancellor's home; 8 arrestedGovernor Arnold Schwarzenegger described Friday's attack on the home of the University of California at Berkeley's chancellor as a "type of terrorism" that will not be tolerated.

Protesters angry about budget cuts and fee hikes vandalized Chancellor Robert Birgeneau's home on campus at about 11 p.m. Friday night, according to the university.

"California will not tolerate any type of terrorism against any leaders, including educators," Schwarzenegger said in a statement released Saturday.

He added that the incident was a criminal act, and participants will be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law.

"Debate is the foundation of democracy, and I encourage protestors to find peaceful and productive ways to express their opinions," he said.

1. Of course

When a guy walks into a church with a shotgun and opens fire and kills 2 because the liberals are supposedly destroying this country according to him or when a guy sends powder that resembles anthrax through the mail to prominent liberals, that's just nuts being nuts though.
