Sharyl Attkinson Links Obama’s Sony Criticism to Benghazi

Media Buzz permaguest Sharyl Attkinson had some thoughts about the Sony hack Sunday morning, and they all have to do with Benghazi.

“I find it fairly awkward to hear the president lecturing Sony on how not to cave to people who are perhaps threatening violence for something that’s free speech,” Attkinson said, referring to President Barack Obama’s statement that Sony’s withdrawal of The Interview in the face of threats was a “mistake.”

“Isn’t that sort of what the administration did with ‘The Innocence of Muslims,’ when they called YouTube and said they should pull down that perfectly legal video, an expression of free speech by a director that did absolutely nothing illegal or wrong, and they promised to hunt him down and have him arrested?”

“To date, the only person held accountable in the whole Benghazi debacle and someone who is utterly devoid of fault, ironically,” Attkinson said.

This is where Benghazi acrostics come from. Watch the video below, via Fox News:
