Terror. Terror! TERROR!!
Franken is cleverly implying that American's fears are groundless or irrational, the products of cheap psychological tricks rather than a real concern. On the contrary, the jihad is real, and millions of Muslims would like to kill us in the process of establishing a worldwide Caliphate and restoring/inaugurating God's reign on earth. Their project of world conquest cannot succeed, but it can kill a hell of a lot of people on its way to failure.
That's why the Democrats can't win an election since 9/11 despite a mediocre President who in many ways has remained mediocre. Too much of the Democratic base doesn't believe that the jihadist threat is real. Democratic activists hearts really aren't in the War on Terror. It's not the sort of thing they got into politics for.
The analogy to the 2004 election would be a choice between a heart surgeon who was known to not be at or near the top of his field and a pure faith healer who says that you aren't sick, you only think you're sick.
