Now GOPers are saying Obama is using Benghazi to distract from everything else

Now Allen West Thinks Obama Is Using Benghazi to Distract from Everything Else
by Matt Wilstein | 2:29 pm, June 17th, 2014

It’s been just over a month since former Republican Congressman and current Fox News talking head Allen West took to his blog to complain that the Obama administration was focusing on the Boko Haram kidnappings in Nigeria in order to distract Americans from the ongoing investigation into the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Now that a key suspect in the attack has been arrested by U.S. Special Forces, West thinks President Barack Obama is using that Benghazi capture to distract from everything else:

Squirrel! #Benghazi suspect conveniently captured to deflect attention from all the other nightmares <...>

Rush:


You can add Rush Limbaugh to the list of conservatives who see some sort of conspiracy theory in the announcement Tuesday afternoon that U.S. Special Forces have arrested a major suspect in the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.

“Isn’t it an amazing timely coincidence that they have found a militia leader of the Benghazi attack and they’ve arrested him?” Limbaugh asked rhetorically. “Isn’t this amazing timing?”

My god they have no shame. They are almost like some perverse computer program, no matter what the input, spin it to try and make Prez Obama look bad.
