Im sorry Arles, when Cheney linked Iraq to 9/11 in the debates after that theory had been debunked it was a play on fear. When they played ads of wolves creeping through the forest it was a play on fear. When they said if you vote for Kerry you'll be opening our country up for attack (insinuating that a vote for W would secure our country moreso) was a play on fear. When W says the words, "Axis of Evil" it is a play on fear.
This isnt a specific claim of fear in an isolated campaign but an overall theme that the GOP has perpetrated since 9/11 and a successful one at that.
