If you needed any more evidance that the right wing is crazy OBL being killed is it

This morning I walked in to work where many of my co-workers are way out there to the right. So usually we don't talk politics. But seeing how I didn't think anyone would disagree with me that getting Bin Laden was a good thing I made a simple comment this morning: "Well, they finally got the bastard". And the response I heard shocked me.

One of my co-workers actually said this in an angry tone: "They got the bastard back in 2002! Obama was just waiting for when he needed to pull out the body to improve his re-election chances!".

Since I actually like this job and aside from politics these people and I actually tend to get along my reply simply was "boy, it sure is cold out there for it being the first week of May".

But I was absolutely stunned by how any person could belive such crazy and insane bullshit. But apparently my co-workers aren't the only ones. I decided to check out what the freepers thought after hearing this and sure enough, the place this morning is filled with conspiracy theories on this same level.

It's sad to live in a country where this kind of bullshit is actually in many ways mainstream.

He'd have blurted it out between golf swings.

There are some of complaining that his death will rile up the baddies. Which is a valid point to some extent, but it's fact that they think this will, but the invasion of Iraq was a great idea. :/

so they won't accept it. This is what is driving the schism in this country and it's fueled by the right wing propaganda machines with the intent of widening the schism.

And people choosing them over facts and reality.

So tired of it.

Just log on to DU.

just too stupid?

I've said that *if* they had been able to kill OBL during the residency they would have attempted to repeal term limits to get the boy re-elected in 2008. I *probably* wouldn't have worked, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't have tried.

...and used it to leverage SS privatization, the 2004, 2006 and 2008 elections, and whatever else Bush was after.

I would have been rolling on the floor.

These people are disgusting. Obama got him! I turn on CNN and the first thing I hear is some turd talking about Obama's mamby pamby law and order view of terrorism. This guy wanted to give all credit to Bush. Where do they find these people? They can't turn off their talking points. What robots!?!

May I say, I am so happy we got Bin Laden on Obama's watch! Thank you God!

Just saying...

NO WAY in hell they would have not crowed about it endlessly if they had killed bin Laden.

besides, Cheney congratulated Obama http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x4835628

I'm sure we'll hear soon, and you may figure out what (mis)guides their logic.

That's a big difference.

Perhaps everything is just as it was presented but this is politics remember.
Image has a higher currency than accuracy.

I believe that Osama is dead but I am skeptical of the story presented along with the fact.

Sorry for doubting you, didn't think that kind of crazy would be possible here.
