What Do French Socialists & Taliban Terrorists Have in Common?

They both [more than] hint at violence if the citizens of France don't elect another weak-kneed socialist government. Read here & here. I wonder if Socialist Presidential candidate Ségolène Royal realizes how pathetic and scandalous it is for her to be making the predictions of violence that she has?

A supporter of hers would, of course, state that she wasn't inciting any violence. True. But by making the statement that she has, what exactly was she trying to accomplish? She's an intelligent woman and had a clear motivation to say what she did.
