Well, that didn't take long [View all]
Last night as I was driving home listening to the reports of the bombing at the Boston Marathon, I had the following thought cross my mind -- how long will it take the RW media to somehow turn this into yet another "Obama is weak on terror!!!!" meme?
I gave it until this afternoon -- I was going to listen to Hannity (who lives to advance this kind of crap) and reward myself if my prediction that he would be all over that angle came true.
Well, this morning I was listening to "American's Morning News" on FOX radio (as I sometimes do) and they had this Boston Herald Columnist on who (in the usual way that FOX News lets "guests" speak the most vociferously while the "hosts" sit back as if they're all objective -- whatever) followed the Weak on Terror talking points to a T:
- The "guest" chuckled out loud and talked about how there "was at least no offensive pictures of Mohammed"
- The Administration is refusing to use the word "terror"
- The Administration is just "praying" that the bombing was done by "right wing extremists"
And on and on. Clearly this guy was trying to use the tragedy in Boston to dredge up the dead horse of Benghazi YET AGAIN.
I got so tired of this crap during the Benghazi dust up. When will the repubs give up this Bush-era mentality already? Do they really thing it still works?
Thoughts? Anyone as aggravated by this as I am? I know..... I should probably just stop listening to any FOX News radio show.
