"Truthers", "Birthers", and now......"GoatPorners"?
— Russ from Winterset

According to this morning's LA Times, approximately 20% of their sample in a poll of the American electorate doesn't believe that Osama bin Laden is dead.

They seem to believe that this is indicative of the stupidity or incredulity of those who oppose the current president.

No word on the larger percentage of the electorate who believe 9/11 was an inside job. I guess they're not stupid...............they're "just asking questions".

How could so many presumably normal citizens (19%, according to Zogby) be so ignorant as to....

...not believe the claims of their duly-elected president and the detailed accounts by his deputies of the deadly dark-of-night raid deep into Pakistan by a team of Navy SEALs, the firefight and the flight with the corpse to an American carrier offshore, the confirmation of his DNA, the preparation of his body according to Muslim ritual and its hasty burial somewhere at sea to avoid creating a shrine?

All this within 12 hours?

Well, to be fair to the skeptics; it's not as if the raid on bin Laden was captured live on Fox/CNN/every major news outlet in North America, and witnessed by thousands of New Yorkers, Pentagon workers, and rural residents of Pennsylvania.

(edited to reflect that the LAT article I linked to doesn't actually call those who disbelieve The Official Story to be "stupid". They leave that to the comments section.)

8 Racers.  Don't forget us.  Racers say racism is the root cause of every and any criticism of the President.   And because there are so many of us in the MFM we are in the unique position of being able to help make our numbers grow.  Like to see the birthers or truthers do that.

Lemme try to comprehend this. The LA Times, one of the worst examples of "make the crap up to suit our needs" and home of 'sit on the other stuff', is bemoaning a populace that tends to believe rumor and innuendo?

 

Suggestion for a follow up story: "The fake ANG memo, conspiracy theories and plummeting trust and desire for the MFM. Is there any connection"?

This conspiracy theory was intentionally created by the Obama Administration.  It fits the MO.  That way he gets two wins.  First when something happens, second when he proves it.   He's still spiking the birth certificate. 

It wasn't that long ago that the NYT wrote articles favorable of the Truthers, calling them "skeptics."

Yeah, Bin Laden's dead, but asking for actual proof isn't a conspiracy.  We really should have kept the body longer.

39 In March of 1995, having just come from the 50th anniversary of the taking of the bridge at Remagen, I sat down for beers with veterans of the 99th RCT in a tavern in Elsenborn, Belgium, the North Shoulder of The Bulge.

The barkeep swore up and down that the Malmedy massacre was a put-up job by Eisenhower, because..."Peiper was not a killer."

A former first sergeant kind of quietly reminded him that several men present in the room had been there that day. No matter. Never happened.

Since then I have had a curious immunity to ex-post-facto conspiracies.

58 The problem is that this administration is so apt to lie - and changed its stories so often - that it's not surprising a fair number don't believe OBL is actually dead.

Some people wouldn't believe a single thing President Present says (and they have their reasons) were it attested by God in all Three Persons, the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and the whole company of Saints. Well, maybe then, but they'd first look for evidence it was all CGI.

65 Show me the pictures attached to Obama's academic records and maybe I will believe them. We are after all talking about the Obama administration. The hit was done purely for political reasons. You would think they would have got the PR message correct (i.e., pictures). This poll can be read as a mental termperature reading of public intelligence or a reflection of the WH's believability. I am surprised the number isn't larger given the multiple stories floated. Its as if they want a new conspiracy theory to mock the doubters to the urban's.

I have to believe that OBL is dead simply because this administration, as stupid and tone deaf as they are, would not risk the fatal damage that would be incurred if they were proven to have been punked.

6 planets are in conjuction right now with Earth. This is left-hand Illuminati feasting ground. BIG TIME. I know a lot about them some in personal and not so personal ways.

BUSH has stated in public that he wanted OSAMA BIN LADENS SKULL ON A SILVER PLATTER.

HE IS SKULL & BONES

Did you know that GERONIMOS skull is at the good ole' SKULL & BONES LODGE?

Skulls carry a huge amount of power for satanic rituals, when so much focus is put on an individual.

THAT is why OSAMA has been FREE for so long. So more hate, murder, violence...AND HENCE POWER COULD BE ABSORBED AND USED.

THAT is why all this controversy is going on about the body...THIS is why it is all happening.

They really really needed to see that they were dead. They interviewed another woman whose husband was killed in the revolution celebrating with cake over the execution of the Ceausescus.

111 88 IIRC, the polls for truthers was about 20%. And birthers. And other the moon landing. All this proves is that 20% of the population is retarded. Which, if you think about it, makes total sense. Somebody's has to be the left side of the bell curve.

Posted by: Darth Randall at May 16, 2011 02:02 PM (O/onO)


Since I'm sure they installed, code-approved, low flow toilets; that couldn't flush a Koran - the military should release a cost review of the GITMO plumbing fixtures everytime this comes up.

140 I think it is more a matter of people having been conditioned to believe that any claim by a politician that cannot be absolutely proven must be false. Having seen all the spy movies and soap operas that always show the villain surviving for the sequel, of course the script would have Bin Laden manage to “come back” for the next episode. Besides, it was Barak Obama who told everyone that Bin Laden was dead. That, by itself, is evidence that he is still alive.

142 Ace of spades readers: Outraged at Fareed Zakaria yet eating up Shawn Hannity, making Glenn Beck rich and buying the overpriced coins he peddles. Disgusted by gays, yet always answering liberal comments with an endless supply of homosexual sex-themed come-backs. (why so much gay??) Ace of spades readers: Calling Libya a boondoggle yet they re-elected a president that led us into the biggest military boondoggle in U.S. history. Outraged - OUTRAGED! I tell you! - Over the supposed weft-wing media (boo hoo!) yet their network of choice is the least accurate news in all U.S. media. Their viewers are the least informed consumers of news in the world outside of Iran. Support Sarah Palin and may even vote for Michelle Bachman. Ace of Spades readers made Trump a contender. Ace of Spades readers easily baited by racist conspiracy theories stating that Obama was born in Kenya, a country that didn't exist when he was born. DUH! Ace of Spades readers gobbling up Brietbart's twisted, manufactured lies, a man who couldn't tell a straight story about his trip to the bathroom. Ace of Spades readers: One screwy bunch of nutbags. When - ever - will anyone be able to take you seriously?? Enter your gay fantasy jokes below, you pathetic tards.
