Now I understand:

"The jerks and Bush tools are brainwashing the rubes with their non-stop
onslaught of government propaganda and suppression of all dissent" =
Daring to Speak Out

"Anyone who believes that leftist crap is delusional" = Name Calling and
Intimidation

TW tie-in: It's important for tech writers to be aware of such subtle
differences in meaning, since they can affect people's comprehension of
the material. 

Give my regards to Cindy Sheehan in Gitmo -- oh, wait...
