Peach Pundit/Red State's Erick Erikson's Odd Claim




Well, OK:

We know, because Joe Biden told us, that the Obama administration expects us to get attacked again domestically. [...]

The best strategy would look something like taking a band-aid off quickly. Get the pain over fast. And if an attack happens quickly enough into the new administration, they can blame Bush.

So the Obama administration is working hard to release all the memos on interrogations, change all the policies Bush implemented, and clear out the old as fast as possible. Never mind that if it were done slowly over time, our terrorist enemies might not be so incited to attack.

If your working premise is that they are going to attack anyway, get them incited quickly, get it over with, and blame Bush. There is no other justification for so quickly making us less safe.


So he's saying that basically Obama is trying to get America attacked so he can blame it on Bush?

That's a mighty, well, unhinged claim to make. But for some reason this passes as good journalism in the rightwingoverse.

They can continue to go down this path if they want, but that'll just make them a minority party for the next 20 years.

Actually, I don't see anything wrong with that.
