Who besides Monty Python still goes to the fishmongers? Instead of fear mongering, then, trying to excite emotions could be *fear monstering”. Not as common as it should be.
News has come that MCCAIN friend mr.Bud Day is saying more garbage about a Moslem ppl. just you read it by self and make a judgements who is a good parson and who is making the fear-monstering!!

wikipedia says nothing about tuvalu going away, more leftist scaremonstering.

BTW, there apparently is a recent precedent for using monster as a verb:
There is even a name for an interrogator staying with a prisoner until one or the other of them breaks: it’s called “monstering.”
