Playing on our fears
"He played on our fears.”
That’s Al Gore back in 2004 more or less accusing the President of doing whatever it took to get us into Iraq. Now the former Vice President has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize based largely on his efforts to scare the bejeesus out of us using exaggerations that, you know, are seemingly designed to play to our fears.
Just wanted to point it out.
