I've already written once today about the right's absurdly dishonest claim that President Obama was “inviting” a terrorist attack by saying the U.S. “absorbed” 9-11 and their convenient amnesia regarding President Bush's actual invitation for attacks on Americans (“bring 'em on”), but Pam Geller is forcing me to revisit the subject.
She's joined the right-wing chorus attacking Obama, writing that Obama's comment on absorbing 9-11 was “the scariest and creepiest thing” Obama's ever said. The headline to her post is: “Obama's response to imminent terror threat? Bring it on.”
This is amusing, because a little over two years ago, Bush sat down with the British press and expressed his regret for having said “bring 'em on,” saying: “I think that in retrospect I could have used a different tone, different rhetoric.” At the time, Geller attacked Bush for this, calling him a “wuss” and “pathetic,” and telling him to “STFU.”
So which is it? Does Atlas Pam want her presidents to invite terrorists to attack Americans or not?
