LITTLE ROCK, Ark (Reuters) - A cat belonging to an Arkansas Democratic campaign manager was found dead on Sunday night with the word "Liberal" spray-painted across its side, the campaign manager said.
The cat was a pet of Jake Burris, who manages Democrat Ken Aden's bid for Arkansas' 3rd Congressional District. Aden is running against incumbent Republican Representative Steve Womack.

OP
If "terrorism" really was about "inciting terror", than that would be it all right.

It's likely in the offender's mind that liberal on a cat implies "pussy". n/t

In fact, it is much more "terrorism" than what Al Qaeda leaders are being killed for. After all, they may be planning to hurt the US, but that really has nothing to do with "inciting terror" in the civilian population as long as they are just planning things over there.
This on the other hand is deeply terrifying to the victims and associated people -really sending a message.
