LBJ once said "I could walk on water across the Potomac and they'd say the President can't swim." So long as this President is black, nothing will be good enough for Republican bigots. With the birthers destroyed, now it's the deathers.
Breitbart is leading the deather camp. No doubt Palin and Trump will be soon behind.
Mere hours after President Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden, supported by incontrovertible DNA evidence, the conspiracy theorists are hard at work. Andrew Breitbart, a prominent right-wing commentator with close ties to the Republican Party and the Tea Party, is pushing the theory on his website Big Peace.
On Breitbart’s website, J. Michael Walker, suggests Obama take a number of extraordinary steps so he can “make sure [Osama] is dead.” Pictures are apparently not enough. Walker asserts that he needs to be able to “walk right up to bin Laden’s corpse and view it.” More
The free world, particularly the United States, has a right to make sure Osama bin Laden is really dead. Every American has a right to walk right up to bin Laden’s corpse and view it.
Think Progress: Meet the Deathers
And the Washington Times is spewing it:
On Twitter, Emily Miller, a senior editor at the Washington Times demanded “proof” that Osama is dead
Think Progress: Meet the Deathers
The deathers, birthers and other Republican bigots are a fucking joke. Ridicule will destroy them.
This is a good day for America, as the President said. The panic of the right wingers shows a lot. It's the smell of victory for Americans and defeat of the bigots. They're screwed and they know it.
President Obama ripped Trump a new one Saturday night, and it was so fitting: "I stay up at night worrying about things like that." Trump fires people on a fake show; the President makes real life and death decisions. I saw a great picture of Barack Obama today with the words: "Sorry I took so long with the birth certificate; I was busy killing Osama."
The deathers are the sound of the Republican party immolating. That is a good day for America also!
Update I: A bit off topic, but slightly related. Osama Bin Laden promoted martyrdom for his followers, but apparently feared death so much that he used one of his wives as human shield. Consistent with his character:

White House: Osama bin Laden Used Wife As Human Shield
John Brennan, a chief counterterrorism adviser to President Barack Obama, ... says bin Laden was engaged in the firefight, but it was unclear if he got any shots off. He identified bin Laden as the combatant who used a woman as a human shield. She was the only woman killed in the operation. Brennan later said it was his understanding that the woman was one of bin Laden's wives.
"She served as a shield -- this is my understanding -- when she fought back -- when there was an opportunity to get to bin Laden -- she was positioned in a way that she was used as a shield--my understanding was she was one of bin laden's wives," Brennan told reporters.
He died a coward's death.
