Bin Laden killing sparks Republicans to discover non-partisanship

Well, now we know what it takes to get Republicans to insist that issues of terrorism not be politicized! I can't tell you how many outraged wingnuts spent Sunday night and Monday on Twitter complaining loudly about the "crass" nature of scoring "petty political points" from the fact that it was under the Obama administration that bin Laden was finally killed.

Isn't that a shame?

After ten long years?ten years!?of screaming into the cameras that "Democrats want the terrorists to win!" Republicans are finally ready to concede that politicizing the terrorism issue is wrong and petty!

I mean, do you remember Fox News "wondering" aloud whether Barack and Michelle Obama were giving one another a "terrorist fist jab" on stage? Keep that in mind when Republicans cry that you're politicizing things!

But whatever you do, don't waste any time considering whether there really might be a moment's pause in the ultra-right's Obama Derangement Syndrome. Screechy dingbat yenta Pam Geller has already gone all-in...

Geller sourced an anonymous conservative blogger who claims to be receiving reports from a "D.C. insider." This "insider" apparently enjoys unfettered access to the president and his advisors and knows intimate details of top secret national security discussions -- so naturally he/she dishes to a F-list right-winger who writes for a content farm no one has heard of. Anyway, the story spun by the "insider" and reprinted by Geller was that the military staged a "coup"(!) after the White House "scrambled to abort" the Bin Laden mission

...and then panicked and started a walk-back:

Geller's source later posted a "clarification" from his imaginary friend "insider" trying to explain that he didn't actually accuse the military leadership of a crime punishable by death. Geller posted the clarification in an update to her original post, writing "more details here"

So remember, kids, let's keep it classy out there! It's the conservative thing to do.
