So an email reveals the White House called YouTube about a video during Benghazi.

Now, Rep. Darrell Issa is saying that phone call puts the lie to White House claims that CIA talking points (issued after the attack) were how the blame got placed on the video.

Rush Limbaugh picked up that ball and ran with it on Friday.

But they miss a larger point.

The advanced plan to place the blame on an anti-Islam video wasn’t to mask Obama’s pre-election lie about his Middle East policies setting ‘al-Qaeda on its heels’…

…it was to de-fuse any assertions that Obama killing bin Laden and publicly bragging of it just before an election was the cause of terrorists mounting such a massive attack.

His VP, Joe Biden, invoked the phrase…“bin Laden’s dead, GM’s alive”…repeatedly…

…EIGHT MONTHS BEFORE BENGHAZI! And, then, continually… until Benghazi.

How everyone has missed this remains a mystery.

Think. What’s more likely to fan the flame of Islamic anger – some obscure anti-Islam video that was largely ignored for months before 9/11/2012…

…or an American president bragging about killing the Islamic jihadi’s high priest…

…Usama bin Laden?

That video published by a Coptic Christian had merely a handful of views over the months before the Benghazi attack that killed 4 Americans, and wounded dozens.

The real headline should have been…and should continue to be…

Obama bragged…and Americans were fragged.

And the real irony?

The whole ‘let’s-blame-a-video-to-inoculate-Obama’ idea wasn’t even necessary…

…Republicans were too gutless to think about blaming Obama and Biden anyway.
