RedState editor: Obama is trying to goad terrorists into attacking the United States ASAP.

Since President Obama decided to release the Bush-era OLC memos outlining the administration's torture program, conservatives have been trying to argue that the disclosures make the country less safe. Today, RedState Editor-in-Chief Erick Erickson takes the meme a step further, arguing that Obama wants to make the country less safe. In fact, Obama is hoping for a terrorist attack sooner rather than later so he can blame it all on the Bush administration:

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.

On Twitter, Erickson added, "Hilarious to watch the lefties explode over this. ... Truth hurts I guess."

1. "Hilarious to watch the lefties explode over this"

Lefties are exploding over the stupidity of the right, not because of any truth.

Man, these people are dumb.

[Hoopla Phil]

2. Ho hell. I thought this was going to be one of those Red States Update things.

[Kookaburra]

3. P.S. Erickson,

Nobody pays any attention to you, so I doubt there are any lefties exploding over your nonsense.

[county worker]

4. No exploding here, I'm finding the right to be more irrelevant every day.

Their writings are all a waste of time for us to read or to get upset over.
I wondered how losing the election would effect the right but I never thought they would go so koo koo like they have. The more off the wall their statements are the more irrelevant they become.

5. Keep trying, Erick Erickson. If you get batshit crazy enough, Fox will give you your own show.

And what is with the double names in the RW? Erick Erickson. Tommy Thompson. :shrug:

8. Ya know, that could be his motive for this trash. The battier, the better.

Makes sense to me.

7. Typical repuke lack of logical reasoning skills.

It's the torture in the first place that's the problem, not the exposing of it, you effing right wing idiots.

God.

9. Forget the flu.

It's the RW pandemic stupidity I worry about!

10. Hey, Obama's been quite openhanded to the terrorists -- but they keep threatening ...

a Senate filibuster. What more can he do?

[Mz Pip]

11. Projection much?

The only goading I hear is coming from Cheney in his not so subtle choreographing "it will be easier now because Obama is weak" meme that he throws out every chance he gets.

[life_long_dem]

12. I wonder if the RedState editor feels the same way about Cheney.

Crashcart wants to release more memos. Is Cheney making the U.S. less safe?

[Democracyinkind]

13. I wonder if he feels at all

[emulatorloo]

14. What is it with WINGNUTS and TWITTER? They love it so. Probably because of the character limit

makes it easy to talk in bumper stickers.
