Days After Birth Certificate, Obama Walks Into New Conspiracy Theory

by Jack Stuef  12:44 pm May 2, 2011

Ugh. Thank God Facebook statuses didn't exist when 9/11 happened.
Now that Osama bin Laden is dead, President Obama’s birth certificate is out of the news, and so is Donald Trump, whose teevee show was pre-empted last night before America could find out what’s really important, which celebrity performed poorly in a fake business game. But that’s okay, because bin Laden’s death is a prime breeding ground for new conspiracy theories, and the press is salivating at the prospect of reporting them to you.

The Washington Post has this online article, which offers crazy people suggestions on where to base their new theories.

Buried at Sea
Bin Laden was reportedly transported from Pakistan and “buried at sea,” although it’s not clear in what body of water, according to a U.S. official. The Post reports that the U.S. government did not want there to be a gravesite that could be used as a shrine. Some conspiracy theorists doubt that bin Laden is dead because the body was disposed of so quickly. Others take issue with the lack of photographic evidence.

‘Mission Accomplished’ Anniversary
Yesterday was the eighth anniversary of President George W. Bush’s so-called “Mission Accomplished” speech. To some, this coincidence is an opportunity to use “Mission Accomplished” as a rallying cry — to show that almost 10 years after 9/11, the mastermind of the attack is dead. Others may see this as not a coincidence, but a carefully planned public relations act.

Sure, thanks, Post.

The U.S. is actually probably going to release photos of bin Laden soon to quell suspicion. But that will probably set the conspiracy theories in motion more than anything, because people have never found an image of bin Laden they really liked, have they? There’s always argument over whether “it’s really him.” The U.S. could probably get more people to believe they killed bin Laden by releasing photos of a dead drag queen than putting out the images of his actual body.

People who hate Obama will find an excuse to say he’s still a secret Muslim and played no part in killing bin Laden. And that’s what separates us from Al Qaeda: We have the freedom to believe whatever we want in this country, even if it’s an obvious and fundamentally disgusting lie.

Oh, by the way, Al Qaeda says bin Laden is still alive. Have fun, crazies! [WP]

Trump has a group of investigators en route to Pakistan right now!

Doktor Zoom May 2, 2011 at 12:50 pm

Actually, they're headed for the strip bars and soaplands of Bangkok, where, they assure him, they have some very promising leads.

arihaya May 2, 2011 at 12:55 pm

Trump's next wife will be aThai ladyboy?

Not_So_Much May 2, 2011 at 1:08 pm

I thought that's what was living on his head?

PsycWench May 2, 2011 at 1:06 pm

because we must see the long-form death certificate?

Buckminster May 2, 2011 at 1:17 pm

Somebody should investigate why Trump is such a humorless a**hole.

Troubledog May 2, 2011 at 12:48 pm

And he was so close to his "new every two" free phone from Verizon…

Doktor Zoom May 2, 2011 at 12:48 pm

To give blame where it's due, the Freepers were saying this before Obama's speech.

widestanceroman May 2, 2011 at 1:33 pm

I trust they keep conspiracies on file, like obits at newspapers.

jdoleman May 2, 2011 at 12:49 pm

Obama is Bin Laden, Check out the pictures.

WE ARE THOUGH THE LOOKING GLASS HERE PEOPLE!

horsedreamer_1 May 2, 2011 at 12:50 pm

I hope the Navy SEALS who took part in the siege find inspiration in Buzz Aldrin's treatment of moon-landing denialists. In said event, Michael Cody will end up looking like the Elephant Man.

OneYieldRegular May 2, 2011 at 1:13 pm

I know a couple of former Navy SEALS who just might take exception to Michael Cody's referring to them as "idiots."

NorthStarSpanx May 2, 2011 at 1:39 pm

Let's take comfort that on 7.1.11, Transformers 3 will convince the deniers that there was a Moon landing, if only to cover for an alien confirmation mission.

LeAlbatross May 2, 2011 at 1:44 pm

Goodness knows *I* do. I was always polite to the SEALS, they were really good guys. Crazy, but really good guys.

memzilla May 2, 2011 at 12:50 pm

Post the attack video on YouTube (you know we have it). Send the DNA samples to WHO, let the UN compare Bin Laden's to his sister's brain and announce the results.

This will not end the conspiricists' spittling, but it will really tick off the Deathers (nee Birthers).

Callyson May 2, 2011 at 12:51 pm

Sure, bin Laden has been dead for a while now, and Obama kept quiet about it…it's not as if the news would have been beneficial if it had been released in, say, late October 2010…
And if bin Laden were not really dead, all he would have to do is release a video of himself discussing recent events: this would permanently damage Obama's re-election chances and his historical legacy…
Seriously, these conspiracy nuts believe this crap? What's next, Obama was not born in the US? Oh wait…

Worthly[♬♪♬♪♫♪♬]Skum May 2, 2011 at 12:52 pm

After getting caught flat-footed on the birther issue, WP is not going to miss getting in on the ground floor of the Osama Conspiracopia. Journalism at its finest. Talk about being "at sea".

NorthStarSpanx May 2, 2011 at 1:41 pm

WaPost brought Trump as their guest to the WHCD, didn't that make up for the birther fumble?

freakishlywrong May 2, 2011 at 12:52 pm

Barack Obama is half African American. We are an ugly, racist nation up to our armpits in foolish, hateful infants. The press only covers the infants. Therefore, nothing good happens ever unless there is a Republican president.

The end.

HELisforHEL May 2, 2011 at 4:44 pm

Freakishlywrong, you are sadly freakishly right.

nounverb911 May 2, 2011 at 12:52 pm

But how does all this effect Sarah Palin, she's been awfully quiet lately.

JoshuaNorton May 2, 2011 at 12:54 pm

If she goes a whole day without using The Twitter, she has to be shown how it works all over again.

freakishlywrong May 2, 2011 at 12:59 pm

Not quiet enough. Her FB statement is insulting and nauseating, with nary a mention of the Kenyan. The comments made me want to weep. I despise conservatives.

finallyhappy May 2, 2011 at 4:10 pm

despise is pretty mild compared to what I feel about these morons

Not_So_Much May 2, 2011 at 1:10 pm

Is she taking credit for any surveyor marks over the compound?

PubOption May 2, 2011 at 2:36 pm

She can't see Pakistan from her house.

Boojum_Reborn May 2, 2011 at 12:53 pm

It's obvious Obama only did this because of Donald Trump. WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG????!!11!!

MarionNYNY May 2, 2011 at 6:16 pm

Trump must be EXTRA proud of himself today.

nappyduggs May 2, 2011 at 12:55 pm

A few things:
Number first: HATERS.
And then: Thanks for the contribution, snorkel fuck. I know those tubes create dead air space, but apparently it didn't stop in your lungs and went straight for that half-brain you're rockin'.
Also finally: Bin Laden''s body? Just don't eat the "McVictory Snack Wrap" they're gonna roll-out next week.

AlaskaGrrl May 2, 2011 at 12:55 pm

And when are they going to release the long form death certificate? Huh?

Chillwaver May 2, 2011 at 12:57 pm

Someday, a white guy will return to the WH. Until then (at least 2016) the "Lamstream Media" will make sure the crazies are heard loud and clear.

DahBoner May 2, 2011 at 2:03 pm

They already have election day 2012 circled in red crayon on their paper calendars …

SorosBot May 2, 2011 at 12:59 pm

Hey, last night some of the wingnuts already were claiming Obama purposefully timed the announcement to preempt The Apprentice for people living in inferior time zones, as if Trump was somehow a credible threat to Obama instead of just an attention-seeking clown.

Not_So_Much May 2, 2011 at 1:08 pm

I saw this from a few really smart 'friends' last evening. I advised them to loosen the tin foil and maybe swap it out from time-to-time…

HempDogbane May 2, 2011 at 1:00 pm

Rush, just now: "If Obama was such a 'shoe-in' for reelection Osama bin Laden would still be alive today." So classy.

This is the same guy who wanted Hillary to win?

Aw why let Cody & Friends have all the fun.
My own inner conspiracist skeptic is convinced Osama is just taking a conveniency-coma nap.

problemwithcaring May 2, 2011 at 1:02 pm

If Bush had caught Osama, the WaPo and the rest of America would be advocating to change to Constitution and select him as President for Life.

Now, with a Black Dem as president, liberals will demonize Obama as a war monger and his supporters as debased patsies, while conservatives attempt to deny him any credit whatsoever. Another day in Amerikkka.

WriteyWriterton May 2, 2011 at 1:06 pm

Gah. Right, probably, but…gah.

freakishlywrong May 2, 2011 at 1:12 pm

I certainly don't demonize Obama for this. I'm glad this ugly chapter can be put to rest. I'd also like to see all these ugly conservatives put to rest, but that's another post.

Fuck Toad May 2, 2011 at 2:40 pm

Hey, I'm a hateful wet blanket over this, and I'm not demonizing Obama. The story out there is that they tried to capture UBL, it wasn't possible, so they did the next best thing. Unfortunate, but I'm not second-guessing the President over something like this.

And as far as I can tell, I'm on the crazy fringe even among sinister Marxo-Islamist scum like those of us at Wonkette.

edgydrifter May 2, 2011 at 1:02 pm

One of our resident NOBAMMER birthers here in the office trolled out this very meme this morning. I replied:
"At this moment, I can't imagine anything that would give Al-Qaida and their sympathizers more comfort than a glimmer of hope that their leader is still alive, and it really makes me wonder what kind of person would offer them hope like that. Some would call that kind of talk seditious."
That shut her up, for now at least.

Cheetah Repeater May 2, 2011 at 1:23 pm

When you wrote 'office' I instantly thought you were referring our own Wonk office troll, but that's great come back. Wingers should be embarrassed back under their rocks, especially if they going continue to try and paint Barry/libruls as less patriotic than their pwned selves.

Doktor Zoom May 2, 2011 at 2:45 pm

She'll take credit as soon as she learns how to pronounce Abbottabad.

Bin Landen wasn't killed. He agreed to "play along" to help Obama, his Muslin brother. In return, he gets a job as a security guard looking over Saddam's old stock pile of weapons of mass destruction.

Hey Michael FYI: Don't use a photo of you grabbing your batch for your face book picture.

V572..whatever May 2, 2011 at 1:09 pm

Remember how, when Bin Laden would release a new video or audio tape, the CIA would sternly announce, "We are checking the authenticity of this tape," because there wasn't a goddamn thing they could say besides that, but they wanted to sound like they were doing something?

Well, this time they had the body, have the photos, had the courier who visited him, have his child-bride's ID, have the DNA and every other fucking conceivable piece of evidence that could prove beyond the doubts of anyone but a racist teabagger birther that Bin Laden's dead and American military forces (not Delta) killed him. So it'd probably be best if Barry sits on this for a few months, like he did the berf sertificat, to let them stew in their own juices and spin up nonsense, and then release the evidence, oh, let's say, the night before the Republican convention.

Gopherit May 2, 2011 at 1:10 pm

There's only one way to be sure. Let's get Bert to Gitmo. He'll know, and we can break him.

donner_froh May 2, 2011 at 1:29 pm

Obama can prove bin Laden dead:

–bin Laden head on a pike at the White House? No, to 16th century English and therefore not anti-colonial enough.

–disgusting pictures of bin Laden's head, cranium exploded? No, look how easy it was to Photoshop the long form birth certificate.

–universal outrage among al Qaeda cell world-wide over the death of their leader? No, half of them work for George Soros anyway.

–DNA test? No, DNA doesn't exist, too much like Darwin and evolution.

The inevitable conclusion: bin Laden still alive.

deanbooth May 2, 2011 at 1:29 pm

OBL: "The photos of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

vodkamuppet May 2, 2011 at 1:34 pm

This is going to fuck up my P-ness but whatever. Why is it crazy to not buy this story? There's nothing really to believe. No evidence what so ever that anything happened, at all. I know this is a snark site but fuck Jack, a tiny amount of skepticism is warranted here.

freakishlywrong May 2, 2011 at 1:47 pm

Dubya told us that Iraq had WMD, without a shred of evidence. We were skeptical. We were called "un-American" and "treasonous". Payback is a bitch.

vodkamuppet May 2, 2011 at 2:06 pm

I'm a commie pinko liberal progressive, read through my comments and don't lump me in with those assholes. Do you really believe everything you hear from Bammerz these days?

freakishlywrong May 2, 2011 at 2:15 pm

I consider the alternative. I never want to see a Republican near any lever of power ever again. If that means not being over the moon about my candidate, that's what Ill do.
Us Pinkos need to give as good as we've gotten from these assholes.

FYI, I didn't downfist you, I realize you were only expressing your opinion.

vodkamuppet May 2, 2011 at 2:57 pm

Thank you. Obama has my vote, no question about it. It was not my intention to troll or anything but I just think that even though Bammerz is ostensibly on our side, we should be skeptical of the official story coming from the whitehouse. I feel shunned for saying it. I've been a progressive for as long as I've had any political identity, to the point that when they started calling me a socialist in 08 I said fuck it and let it go, because it's not far from the truth. Now I'm being lumped in with the birther freaks. I resent that.

glamourdammerung May 2, 2011 at 2:09 pm

I have no issues with skepticism. After all, moral and intellectual consistency is just part of what separates us from the Breitards. But this would be easy to confirm if it was not true (bin Laden shows up as a miniature golf course) and would really damage Obama's credibility and would probably get him impeached. There is not a logical reason for Obama to lie about it as there would be zero benefit and a lot of negatives.

finallyhappy May 2, 2011 at 4:17 pm

Feel free to be a "Deather", We all ready have a truther here(Guru). I lump all you guys togther- I don't really care if you are liberal, conservative or just nuts.

vodkamuppet May 2, 2011 at 9:23 pm

You know what? Call me what ever the fuck you want, I don't fucking care. You cant even spell 'already' so your opinion means jack fucking shit to me. It's fine and dandy to question everything W did but the slightest bit of skepticism towards Obamas word on this brands me as a birther, truther, deather. Fuck you, you democrat chickenhead mindless drone Overton window enabling loser piece of shit. You make real progressives look bad.

Jukesgrrl May 2, 2011 at 11:52 pm

I'm quite willing to believe you are a progressive. I also believe you're a buzz kill. (Is buzz kill one word, or two? I wouldn't want to make an error.)

Read my comments and make what you will of them. If my progressive bonafides don't impress you, uh sorry? Or something? Its funny to me that the commentariate on a site that regularly criticizes Obama for not being progressive enough and criticizes the government on an hourly basis for being completely inept has a problem with a tiny amount of critical thinking on my part about this one stupid thing. And yeah, I'm sorry if my response to being called a birther was a buzz kill for you, that must have really fucked up your day. Nobody can stand a troll and your response wasn't trollish at all.

OSAMA BIN SHOPPED!!!11!!1!!!!1

Badonkadonkette May 2, 2011 at 1:35 pm

You know, the right wing reaction to this settles any question about who is to blame for the divisiveness of politics today. This is Obama's 9/11 moment. No, it's not a tragedy, but it is the moment for which he will be remembered most in the US' efforts against al Qaeda.

After 9/11, 90% of us rallied behind George W. Bush because he was our President. We may not have voted for him – I didn't – but he was our leader and we turned to him and supported him.

Within hours of this undeniable victory for all of us, asslicks like Limbaugh and the teabagger in my office who said there was no way bin Laden could be dead are already trying to turn this into an opportunity to smear Obama. And why? Because he's "liberal." Because he's a Democrat. Maybe because he's black.

Fuck them. Remember these next few days and the days following 9/11, Wonketteers, the next time some teabag asshole blames Nina Totenberg when some GOP kiddie diddler sends around a Obama is a chimp photo. They don't do it because of us. They do it because they are hateful, sinister, malicious, evil, divisive piles of pigshit.

James Michael Curley May 2, 2011 at 2:45 pm

Time is moving too fast. I spent the week-end with the thoughts that since the disclosure of the "Long Form Birth Certificate" the long obscured word of racist, as apllied to the more pedantic Obama critics, came out of the closet. Something I have been prompting for a year now.

Even at Democratic Party meetings where many are very glad that Obama is president, they have cautioned me with "You can't realy call it that … " But they are wrong. A whole lot of the Obama is (insert negative assesment here) exists because he is the non-white member of that weirdly nineteenth century fiction which defines "Races".

HELisforHEL May 2, 2011 at 5:07 pm

I completely agree with the reasons you lay out re: the right wing's fear of a black president.
But even after 9/11, I never supported asshat W. I hoped they would actually A) Try diplomacy B) Look at root cause before knee-jerk reacting C) Actually go after the right people (including many Bush family friends in Saudi Arabia). And when none of that happened (unsurprisingly, considering Ashcroft & Cheney's presence), my monumental hatred for yet another piece of shit Bush family member became white hot. Republicans can go fuck themselves with a tree log. Your assessment of their qualities is spot on.

tessiee May 3, 2011 at 12:42 am

Hear, hear!

You guys remember the part in "Blazing Saddles" when Sheriff Bart did something good, and the cranky old lady, to make amends, brought him a pie and said, "By the way, I'm sorry about my 'up yours, n****r!' remark"? Our President isn't even getting that much credit.

The sad thing is that Obama probably won't even reach 60% in the polls, whereas if a GOP president was in office, they'd reach 90%.

The Republican base is a bunch of feral animals.

This variant of conspiracy theory is creative:

He didn’t do this willingly. Bet on it. The attacks on the CIA by the DUMMIES Pelosi, Obama, and Holder proves they hated the fact that the CIA got info to track down OBL under BUSH.

–courtesy free republic–See the CIA had the info thanks to GW and that FORCED Obama to order the raid.

DahBoner May 2, 2011 at 2:31 pm

Yeah, it's a well known fact the CIA really calls the shots and the Pretzeldent is just a figgerhead.

Osama's earthly remains were handled in a manner consistent with Islamic traditions/Sharia Law and commended to a watery grave after a brief ceremony presided over by President B. Hussein Obama himself, acting in his capacity as Imam in Chief of the United Caliphate of America.

MaxUdargo May 2, 2011 at 2:09 pm

No doubt. Those silly Navy Seals. You know they stopped right in the middle of everything, whipped out their iPhones and started taking pictures. Then they texted all their friends "Im n ur pakstan killin ur OBL LOLOL." And then they found a hooka and started smokin whatever was in it and ended up dancing around in their underwear and taking pictures of themselves in the bathroom mirror, hugging each other and doing the duckface. There's probably one guy still there passed out in the bathtub.

ttommyunger May 2, 2011 at 2:20 pm

I, for one, can never forget that these cocksuckers made a combat veteran holder of the Purple Heart and Silver Star a National laughingstock by their constant drip, drip, drip and niggling harping. I'm talking about John Kerry. The power of propaganda, consistently and properly applied, cannot be understated; especially when dealing with an inattentive or receptive populace.

James Michael Curley May 2, 2011 at 3:03 pm

Again, I'm with you. I take every chance I can to be rude and offensive (as a political opponent) to a local Republican Office Holder who once wore one of those Purple Heart Band Aids. I blame Bob Dole for the Swiftboating of John Kerry. He could have put a stop to it with a phone call; but he didn't. And in the particular dichotomy of Republican politics, it could be said that Bob Dole's wounds were self inflicted just as Obama gets trashed for three years over 'not born in the US' when McCain wasn't. But I won't deminish Bob Dole's wounds or the manner in which they were received. The critical point that all those Republican assholes threw away was that the Purple Heart, unlike any other US war medal, exisits because of the sacrifice of any person of any rank, gender or background.

ttommyunger May 2, 2011 at 4:07 pm

It's the “Victory at All Cost” attitude. Sacrifice truth, human dignity and character, nothing is sacred.

HELisforHEL May 2, 2011 at 5:11 pm

Dead on. Kerry was in the shit while Jr was holed up on a drunk that Daddy would cover up for him. I can still picture those fat white fuckers at their convention with those band aids on and their fake cowboy hats, gushing over their boy W. They have no shame.

tessiee May 3, 2011 at 12:45 am

\snark off\
I'm curious to know what you would have done if you'd been in John Kerry's position.
/snark on/

ttommyunger May 3, 2011 at 9:05 am

I would have attacked them as a group and individually, picked over their previous positive ratings and statements about me, exposed their funding. In short, I would have not taken the high road as Kerry did.

gurukalehuru May 2, 2011 at 2:43 pm

Over at http://www.gurukalehuru.com, I discuss the weirdness of storing Osama's dead body in Davy Jones locker, the in your faceness of saying "Hey, we killed Osama, btw we got rid of the body toute de suite, nobody wanted to see that."
Here in the comments, I see the same arguments used to rebut anybody who believes anything other than the official version of 9/11, i.e. you're nuts, you're probably a birther and believe in Bigfoot, too, blah blah blah.
Well, photos can be faked, so I'm not too impressed by those, but if they've got DNA samples and can have them verified by some reliable (as in NON American) source, like the Red Cross, or the University of Oslo or some such, I'll shut up.
Until then, you can call me a deather if you want.

finallyhappy May 2, 2011 at 4:23 pm

adding to your trutherness. They do have DNA but I don't trust the Red Cross myself. Actually the death of Osama isn't going to make any difference to terrorism as far as I see it- except for an upsurge in attempts in the near future ..
