Hey Abbott-abad! - How Bin Laden's Death Leaves Tea Party Dazed And Confused

by Leftwing Noise Machine

The irony of Abbottabad is that if Bin Laden had just acted like one of the middle class Americans he despised, and bought a tract home in the suburbs, instead of erecting a fortification designed by Jabba the Hutt, he might be alive today. The Saudi fundamentalist was found because the CIA profiled the kind of place he’d likely live, and his citadel fit the bill.

The bigger irony: if Bin Laden were still alive, the Tea Party wouldn’t be so crestfallen. The death of the world’s most wanted terrorist and polygamist has stuck in the Tea Party’s craw like an hor d’oeuvre made of velcro. It was Obama, the alleged Frederick Engels and crypto imam from Kenya, who took out the jihadist that Reagan once called a “freedom fighter,” not George Bush, who lost focus like Forrest Gump watching a floating feather, as he wandered into Fallujah.

The Weird Sisters (and simultaneously Abbott and Costello) of the Tea Party, Bachmann and Palin, released bizarre statements, pretending Obama isn’t president and hoping that Bin Laden’s mysterious death at the hands of some unknown chief executive spells the end of “Sharia-compliant terrorism,” to use Bachmann’s felicitous phrase.

“Sharia-compliant terrorism”?

It sound like a PR ad-line that the Mercenary Industry might run in Lahore.
Other Tea Party talking heads have made similarly ambivalent, faltering statements, seemingly lost at sea as their malignant cultural fantasies sink under the weight of the unthinkable: history will now and forever record that it was President Obama who got Osama. They can’t even make fun of his name anymore without looking unpatriotic, or worse – like a Pakistani intelligence officer.

This fiasco for the conservatism narrative has resulted in the Rightwing Noise Machine shifting gears with a screech and belching out a new meme: It was “enhanced-interrogation techniques” (i.e., torture) that led to Bin Laden’s belated quietus. President Obama just freeloaded on Bush’s commitment to the wonders of auto-da-fé. Fox News, ever reliable, has taken the lead in this new motif, helped along by the all-too-well-known unknowing knower, Donald Rumsfeld, who triumphantly thanked waterboarding, as bobble-headed Hannity looked on and smiled.

The hopes and dreams of the RW nuts died along with bin Laden.

5. K&R Rightwingers have gone so psycho they might as well be Al Qaeda!

Since Sunday evening I would have thought all Americans would come together and be grateful that our military, led by our President, accomplished an important mission. The majority of us have been rejoicing. Of that I'm sure.

But all over the internet, in comments sections at news and other media websites, the rightwingers are in collective hysteria. It's pathetic, but repulsive as well.

Here's an example:

Obama sent Seal Team 6 to kill a fellow Democrat.

The Teabaggers are truly psycho. We all know what to expect from Limbaugh and his followers.

Typical racist right wing comment after right wing screed demeaning the President. The fanatics always calling the president 'boy' or 'manchild' . I think we all know what they'd rather call the President.

First the 'dogwhistle' column from 'Town Hall' . It and the American Thinker website are host to rightwing activists from David Limbaugh and Ann Coulter down to people you never heard of, such as Ben Shapiro.

Title: "The Moral Confusion of Barack Obama" *rolling eyes*

Typical comment:


Boy Barry Soetoro gave the "go" on the hit on Osama because his handlers said "Yeah, do it, the voters will LOVE you for it".

The problem with all those other pesky little spots - Libya, Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Israel - is that his handlers haven't figured out what to do yet.

Boy Barry HAS NO THOUGHTS OF HIS OWN - we're talking a mental midget here, a punk community organizer that is so far in over his head that if it was water, he'd be at the same depth that Osama is right now!

You SUCK SOETORO - we are kicking you out of OUR HOUSE in 2012.

6. This is the elephant in the living room, they're subversives

and I agree as bad as Al Quaeda, plus Bin Laden is a lot smarter than that bunch, so they're dumb and dangerous.
