A Terrorist Attack Is Good For The Republicans? Really?

Apparently, Charlie Black - John McCain's top adviser - thinks that another terrorist attack on America would be quite beneficial to the Republican cause.

From Fortune magazine:

On national security McCain wins. We saw how that might play out early in the campaign, when one good scare, one timely reminder of the chaos lurking in the world, probably saved McCain in New Hampshire, a state he had to win to save his candidacy - this according to McCain’s chief strategist, Charlie Black. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto in December was an “unfortunate event,” says Black. “But his knowledge and ability to talk about it reemphasized that this is the guy who’s ready to be Commander-in-Chief. And it helped us.” As would, Black concedes with startling candor after we raise the issue, another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. “Certainly it would be a big advantage to him,” says Black.


But, this isn't the first time this has happened. Everytime September 11th comes around, there's likely to be another op-ed that's written about how "another 9/11 will bring the country together".


America’s fabric is pulling apart like a cheap sweater.

What would sew us back together?

Another 9/11 attack.

The Golden Gate Bridge. Mount Rushmore. Chicago’s Wrigley Field. The Philadelphia subway system. The U.S. is a target-rich environment for al Qaeda.

Is there any doubt they are planning to hit us again?

If it is to be, then let it be. It will take another attack on the homeland to quell the chattering of chipmunks and to restore America’s righteous rage and singular purpose to prevail.


So, how does this rationale work? How can a terrorist attack equal something 'good' for the Republicans? John Stewart has the answer.
