Gingrich: America should be attacked by terrorists now and then

[MrScorpio]

“This is one of the great tragedies of the Bush administration. The more successful they’ve been at intercepting and stopping bad guys, the less proof there is that we’re in danger … It’s almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us.”

~Newt Gingrich, at a book talk in Huntington, NY, April 2008, saying that Republicans should allow terrorist attacks on American soil to remind us of the dangers in the world.

3. He knows about 9/11. It worked great for them. They want more. No irony.

4. Gingrich just voiced one of the right-wing's secret fears.

They're afraid that without a constant diet of terrorism to scare the shit out of us and manipulate us into accepting authoritarianism, we're going to start demanding that "freedom" thing and throw off their tools of psychological manipulation they use to stay in power. They can't have that.

If they gain power again, they'll probably false-flag us into totalitarian rule.

2. Like these aren't enough for him?
