Is Obama Really Osama Bin Laden?
August 8, 2009 9:22 PM   Subscribe

The first result when you search YouTube for "Osama Bin Laden" puts the "Birthers" to shame. It is a video that presents the magnificent possibility that the "Birthers" are right but wrong... Obama wasn't born in Kenya, he was born in Saudi Arabia! President Obama is indeed Osama bin Laden.

Hey, listen! They were both community activists, right? And I want to talk to Carl Orff's agent about licensing that great ditty...

You may laugh, but have you seen this video, which actually makes a pretty convincing case?

The big healthcare debate seems to be this: one side wants a public option, whereas the other side wishes someone would shoot the Kenyan Nazi Baby-Killing President in the head. Cable news is doing a great job of presenting balanced coverage of these two options.

It must be true. I've never seen them together.

That's almost the point, Burhanistan... But if you search YouTube for "osama bin laden" this is what you get in top spot. I thought it laugh-worthy, especially given the incredible hatred towards the US President in his own state right now. The fact that the man is getting about thrice the death treats of Nixon should tell us something.

Sid, are you going for the "Most FPPs Deleted In A Week" award. This will be, what, #3 or #4?

O Fortune, just like the moon, alway, always changing. At once waxing, and then waning,...Carl Orff is crying in his sleep.

Nixon was a white guy?

I've never seen Bin Laden speak while Obama is drinking a glass of water.

If Hal Turner's family supports his freedom of speech, why did they take down his website?

I miss Sarah Palin threads.

This kind of shite is really starting to disturb me, on a much more than just a point and laugh at the craziness kind of way. If Obama is shot by some fool who took this seriously-- as we know that they are out there-- it will be a terrible, terrible moment for America (and his family, and the world, really). I don't want this to happen.

No... see that part of your body is called your ass. Your heart is found elsewhere.

"I miss Sarah Palin threads."

Yes, it is alarming to look back and realise both the Republican party and base were saying saner things then...

One thing you can be sure of if the President is assassinated: Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann will be very surprised and very saddened. Their heart will go out to the family at this time.

I think this video is a liberal plant to portray Birthers as crazy people unhinged from reality, relentlessly pursuing a vendetta against Obama despite the complete lack of evidence. I think they should sue for defamation and demand that they be treated with respect, dignity, and thorazine.

Sid- maybe this Metafilter thing isn't for you. You're really terrible at this.

Now that you mention it, I've never seen Rick Astley with Obama or Osama either.

Um, it tells us that (a) he's black and (b) this is America.

That during Nixon's time in office there was no such thing as the talk radio we know today?
