Mere hours after President Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden, supported by incontrovertible DNA evidence, the conspiracy theorists are hard at work. Andrew Breitbart, a prominent right-wing commentator with close ties to the Republican Party and the Tea Party, is pushing the theory on his website Big Peace.

On Breitbart's website, J. Michael Walker, suggests Obama take a number of extraordinary steps so he can "make sure [Osama] is dead." Pictures are apparently not enough. Walker asserts that he needs to be able to "walk right up to bin Laden's corpse and view it." More:

The free world, particularly the United States, has a right to make sure Osama bin Laden is really dead. Every American has a right to walk right up to bin Laden's corpse and view it. We are entitled to know for a fact that the witch is dead. No shroud for dignity's sake, please – bin Laden's naked, bullet-riddled corpse should be put on display in lower Manhattan for all the world to see. The entire body should be digitally scanned, inside and out – and made available for everyone to take his or her own picture.

Walker ads that "For us Doubting Thomases out there – we need to see in order to believe."

Brietbart isn't alone. On Twitter, Emily Miller, a senior editor at the Washington Times demanded "proof" that Osama is dead.

With birtherism quickly losing steam after the release of Obama's long form birth certificate, will the right-wing follow Brietbart's lead?
