5 Responses to Right Wing Bitterness Over Obama Gettin’ Osama

[cleanhippie]

Right wingers are out in full force trying to deny that President Obama did something their guy did not do. No matter what they write, say or spew, or how difficult it is for them to get over the burning sting of bitterness eating away at their ids, the truth is that the Republican meme about being tough on national security has been a joke ever since Bush ignored the warnings of an attack, but today, it is not even a joke. It is a distant memory. President Obama joins just a handful of Presidents with top notch national security and anti-terrorism cred now. This bears repeating because it is true and because it is the one thing the trolls do not want you to say. So say it again.

--snip--

Here is a quick premier in dealing with the right’s bitterness today:

1) They will lectures you not to politicize terrorism. You write, “So, you’re flip flopping from when Bush blamed Clinton for not getting Bin Laden? Oh, and by the way, President Obama got Osama.” (Never let them steer the topic away from the very thing they are trying to avoid.)

2) Righties suggest we can’t be sure Osama is dead. You say, “You asked us to believe Sarah Palin had a brain against all evidence. I’m willing to go with the President here and assume that he and the CIA know more about what they’re doing than you do, since you keep steering us wrong. Oh, and President Obama got Osama Bin Laden.” (If you must respond to a troll, make it hurt. Always bring up something they do not want to have mentioned and follow it up with the narrative they are most trying to avoid. After all, they wouldn’t be trolling if they weren’t trying to reframe the debate.)

I agree that it is VERY important to ALWAYS end your point with "Oh, and by the way, President Obama got Osama."

1. BEST advice: "If you must respond to a troll, make it hurt."

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Rub their noses in it so it's just unavoidable. Time to live in the REAL reality, not the phonied-up one you can get on Pox Noise. Time to face the music, wrongies! PRESIDENT OBAMA got Osama bin Laden. It was on OBAMA's watch that justice was finally done. Your boy did nothing but fuck things up all over everywhere. "Hard werk," don't you remember?

5. Here is my response: "Yup Barack HUSSEIN Obama, killled Bin Laden"

This is a perfect time to remind those jackasses of his middle name and all the racist bullshit the right-wings attach to it. Turnabout's a bitch. And today, they're all Obama's bitches.

6. A good point (one of many) from the article:

"Remember that no matter what they say, they know they lost this one and it’s a big one, so don’t allow yourself to argue with them past point a. They are only trying to bring you down and draw you in so they can destroy whatever moment of unity and justice our great country is enjoying right now. You know how the Republicans hate joy and hope. It gives the people ideas, after all."
