Loaded words, both by definition and by context, fits the statement. 

Loaded language are words or phrases used to elicit an emotional response from the audience in order to win them over to your argument. The word 'terrorist' has strong negative implications and is not used in its literal sense. Therefore it is 'loaded'.

In addition, the phrase, ' I am conveying my attitude toward accident causing deer through the use of _____ that are meant to win you to my position,' uses the plural form of the verb 'to be' (are). therefore the word in the blank must be plural. 'Loaded words' is the only plural choice.
