In an email message sent to members of Tea Party Nation on Saturday, the group’s president Judson Phillips pushed an article written under the name “Jane Galt” saying that President Obama might have deliberately offered the recently-captured predator drone to Iran…and that Osama bin Laden wasn’t killed but his death was in fact “staged” by Obama:

This incident with Iran getting one of our top secret military drones, has been puzzling me since it happened. It’s vaguely reminiscent of the alleged killing of Osama Bin Laden, with no evidence shown to the American people. ( Personally, I think he’s been dead since around 2003, have seen no evidence otherwise, and think Obama staged the incident just so he could take credit. People prove they’re alive by showing up, and he hadn’t shown up in any way, in years. ) … But we’ve been hearing reports recently, that socialists and gangs have been infiltrating our military now. So this leaves two very disturbing possibilities left. One, that Obama passed down direct orders through a trusted chain of command, to land this drone in Iran, possibly sparking a war with Iran, and handing over our top secret military technology to them and their Russian and Chinese allies. Or it may have been the act of a lone traitor who was operating the drone and decided to do this act on their own. Both are very disturbing possibilities and should be investigated, but who will do that? At least such an investigation should be called for – demanded.

Not to be outdone, Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and the current head of Freedom Watch, also claimed that Obama may have given the drone to Iran because the Iranian government was financing his presidential campaign. “I believe that Iran has paid off Obama with campaign contributions to win the next election,” Klayman said, “This could well turn out to be the terrorist trial of the decade.”
