First let the right-wingers get all worked up about the death photo (kinda like the birth cert)
THEN have the White House release it--so that it maximizes how stupid the right wing nuts look.

1. And people will be repulsed by the photos and blame
the right-wingers for their insistence? It is possible.

After Obama released his birth certificate, many people were repulsed by the racism of the teabaggers. They felt that Obama responded because he had been hounded enough. They did not blame him for caving, but blamed the teabaggers for being racist asshats.

2. Just that it will disprove the right wingers insisting OBL isn't dead.
I doubt with all the violent images on tv and movies and video games anyone will actually be repulsed.

3. Some people will be repulsed by the images.
Some people still are upset by such things. There were people who did not like it that the pictures of Saddam's dead sons were made public. Some thought it was disrespectful, some thought it was too graphic.

With me, it varies. It depends on the situation.

Other people may be repulsed not by the images, but by the insistence of the wingers. If they keep it up until the photos are actually released, people may blame them for their kicking and screaming, just like they blamed the birthers.

4. I don't want to see a picture, anymore than I wanted to see Saddam's hanging. That was ...
Put in the media to gratify the grotesque, bloody-thirsty, medieval neo-cons. We can do better than that and the more they call for proof the more they display their petty hatred of Obama.

5. Exactly. Because that's what this is all about. Petty hatred for President Obama
and not only by rightwingers. There are enough leftwingers here alone that share those TeaBaggers' sentiments. Some are demanding a photo, too.

Loathsome.

6. I'd hope the Lefties only want it to shut up the righties. The Bushies took us back a 1,000 years.
