Tea Party Nation: Obama Only Killed Bin Laden To Help His Reelection

[meegbear]

Judson Phillips, the head of Tea Party Nation, said that the death of Osama bin Laden happened in spite of President Barack Obama and criticized the President for announcing the breaking news during Donald Trump’s "Celebrity Apprentice." Phillips suggested that Obama did not want to give the order to raid bin Laden’s compound but if he "did not act, it would have killed any chance he had at reelection." The Tea Party leader went on to criticize the administration for quickly burying the body, saying that "we should have told everyone that the body was wrapped in pig fat before burial," claiming that bin Laden "represent(s) the mainstream of Islam":

It took almost ten years, but Osama is dead. That is the good news.

The bad news is Obama is going to do what most politicians do, especially the liberal politicians. He is going to take credit for something that not only he had little to do with, but had we actually listened to him, the event never would have happened.

…

What should have happened, which would not happen under the Obama regime and to be fair, the Bush administration was too politically correct to do this either, but Osama’s body should have not been immediately buried. We should have told everyone that the body was wrapped in pig fat before burial.

Why?

It is not just the visceral insult. It is sending a message. Contrary to what the politically correct say, Osama does represent the mainstream of Islam. By defiling the body, we say that you are not getting your 72 virgins. This should be the policy we have with every Islamic terrorist we capture. If you die, we are going to deny you paradise. If we capture you, we are going to feed you nothing but pork until you talk.

Obama is taking credit for this. He did give the order. Did he really have a choice? If word leaked out that he had solid intelligence on where Bin Laden was and did not act, it would have killed any chance he had at reelection. Of course, he made his announcement right in the middle of Donald Trump’s "Celebrity Apprentice" show. Of course, that was just a coincidence.

1. Only proves how much this helps Obama; and hurts Republicans/Tea Party.

:rofl:

2. My God, they are MASTERS at projection.

The bad news is Bush is going to do what most politicians do, especially repukes. He is going to take credit for something that not only he had little to do with, but had he actually listened to his advisers, the event never would have happened.

THAT is the correct statement. Fucking teabaggers.

3. Dumb. Obama could've waited 6 months to a year to kill him for better campaign impact...

Might I remind them that GHWB's approval #'s were in the 90's at the conclusion of the Gulf War, Feb '91. By Nov '92, he was roundly defeated for re-election. Their "theory" doesn't hold water.

4. These people simply do not realize that they are as horrible, if not MORE.

One fundamentalists hating another fundamentalist. Fuck 'em both, I say.

11. Must have really stung to see that black guy with the funny name and big ears

accomplishing what a white son of wealth and privilege couldn't or wouldn't do.

I hope it eats up Phillips' gut like acid.

15. Meditate on this

17. hurt him in pocket book I imagine

these people were raising millions from teaparty racists. They probably see this news as bad for their business of removing money from the pockets of the easily fooled.

12. If he was motivated purely by politics

then, by all rights, he should've done it right before last year's midterm elections. However, given that he obviously felt that it would be best to do as much planning and intelligence gathering before dropping the hammer on the operation, I think that that should prove, if anything, that he is more concerned about getting the job done right instead of doing what might benefit him politically (but which also might've ended in disaster and possible loss of lives if they weren't prepared).

13. LOL

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."

14. Don't they remember "Mission Accomplished"?

I don't think this country will ever return to a civilized state. I am saddened that a small finger of my immediate family has fallen for this propaganda. I don't know how to deprogram them, but I won't give up on them.

16. What sad little people.
