“I found people transferring their birther mentality onto this event,” I stopped reading right there. What in the heck is a “birther mentality” and how does it relate to bin Laden assuming room temperature?

The supposition that Osama's death might not be real, due to the fact that Obama is the one giving you the news. It's totally stupid arrogant and wrong for the Obama administration to not real dead Obama photos yet, but doubting this event is not 'healthy skepticism' it's nutty. And PS, Obama is eligible. That's a dead end.

I think everybody believes that the SEALs went and either grabbed or offed someone. It's the rest of the details that are sketchy. What lacks is concrete evidence that Osama Bin Laden specifically was acutally killed.

Other options include: They got the wrong guy because Panetta/Obama fed them wrong info. They got the wrong guy because it was a look alike. They captured OBL to question him elsewhere and not tell anyone.

None of these options insult the military or their actions. They do not constitute "conspiracy theories" out of line with anything that is unusual during wartime.

Throwing this "conspiracy nut" aspersion around so easily is just as insulting as any other personal attack. It ought to stop because it is untrue in many, many cases.

You just don't engage your brain long enough to think about the possibilities. You leap instantly to a conclusion so that you can post a snarky comment. That is poor form indeed.

If Obama was eligible why are there 1000s of threads showing he is not. You have been debunked so many times we have lost count.

Obama ordered a mass murderer be cleansed, anointed, wrapped in a shroud and given a proper Muslim send off.

This is beyond bizarre.

We give praise to the previous legal Administration for their intelligence gathering, we give credit to our honorable military but none should befall on a spurious born illegal President.

“...but doubting this event is not ‘healthy skepticism’ it’s nutty.”

I have no doubt that Osama is history. I’m still not sure how believing Obama may not be eligible to be President relates to Osama’s death.

“birther mentality” is a pejorative which seems to most of the media and the left to include anyone who has ANY question about Obama’s eligibility. Use of the phrase by someone who holds himself out to be a conservative, when it is unrelated to the subject of the article, to ridicule a segment of the US population that the author disagrees with, impacts the credibility of the author - and affects how people receive the information provided, regardless of how pertinent or perceptive the article may be.

Having a healthy skepticism about Obama’s eligibility to be President is not nutty - his father was never a US citizen. There is a legal question here that needs to be resolved.

“And PS, Obama is eligible. That’s a dead end.”

Wow! I was wondering who had the last word on the definition of natural born Citizen. Now I know. Thanks!

I don’t mean to be sarcastic, but sometimes I just can’t help myself (it’s a character flaw I’m working on, sometimes unsuccessfully) - and that’s a pretty definitive statement you made. I’d be interested in your reasoning (or proof). Always looking for more information on this subject.

He IS NOT natural born.
