long story short, the same people who wanted to see Obamas birth cert now question whether Osama is really dead.

thoughts?

 

[Stammer]

They were stupid when they were "birthers" and now they're just as stupid as "deathers".

Why can't people ever just accept news as the truth? Why do people always have to question every little thing? (lol, says the person asking all the questions)

 

[Tartarga]

Why are they so interested if he is still alive, are they secretly Osama supporters trying to find out if their leader is actually dead? ARE THEY!?

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

These people would have preferred that Bush was appointed president for life. And the fact that Obama has a wicked tan is probably not one of their favorite qualities. They want to catch him in a lie because they'll feel that'll invalidate his presidency, cause you know, Iraq has WMD's proved to be true and shit...

 

[BabySinclair]

Because these are the people who will stop at nothing to discredit the president, be it stemming from racism, radical conservatism, or just a general stupidity.

If he wasn't dead we are taking a huge risk saying that he was, because all they have to due is have him make another tape holding the news paper from a a time after he was reported to be killed

Seriously? "Deathers"? Danial Kaiser makes better puns then that, and that's saying something (I'm a big EBC fan).

 

[Woodsey]

You know, it struck me the other day just how blindingly racist the whole Birther thing really is.

And I can't really see them claiming Osama's dead when all he has to do is say "hey, I'm not dead" and completely fuck the whole 'lie' over.

 

[Kinokohatake]

I was never a birther, too many reasons to dislike Obama without questioning something as stupid as where he was born. But I do wonder about the whole thing with Osama. I would have liked to have seen the pictures. Not questioning whether he is dead, just questioning the official story. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[StellarViking]

Pretty sure Al Qaeda confirmed bin Laden's death the other day, so they'll have to find something else to move on to.

 

[Macheteswordgun]

Facedesk. This does not suprise me at all though, there now questioning what kind of student he was at harvard. Facedesk.

 

[lacktheknack]

I burst into peals of wall-cracking, dog-scaring, neighbor-angering laughter. Sometimes, there's nothing else to do.

 

[Harrowdown]

Lol. Very much the Glenn Beck approach to slander, right there. "Obama had him killed to cover his own tracks... or did he? I'M JUST ASKING QUESTIONS GUY!!!"

 

[Braedan]

Tinfoil hats for everyone! apparently Al-quaida (kayda? Kaida? kaleidoscope?) addmitted to him being dead today. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/05/06/501364/main20060382.shtml?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CbsNewsTheEarlyShowSurvivor+%28CBS+News%3A+The+Early+Show%3A+Survivor%29

I totally misread the OP. I thought (at first) that they deathers were claiming that Obama was dead (like identity theft, he wasn't really Obama). I was about to post "First Zombie President," until I read the other comments and realized that they were talking about Osama.

Reality is far less interesting.

 

[Orekoya]

thoughts?

I'm pretty sure thinking isn't what's going on there.

 

[Valkyrie101]

Reality is far less interesting.

I think that explains the whole phenomenon.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Of course they will. But still, he's dead and that's that, and there will always be doubters.
