WASHINGTON – The news that Osama bin Laden was killed Sunday during a U.S. firefight in Pakistan led to heaps of praise for military service members and President Barack Obama, even from his biggest political adversaries. Some GOP responses, however, have been pretty bizarre.

Here's a roundup of some of the stranger reactions.

1) Obama's base didn't want this

MSNBC anchor and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough (FL) suggested that killing bin Laden required Obama to defy his base and his beliefs.

"I think Republicans should stand up and certainly salute Barack Obama for making some — again, for making some very tough choices that his own base did not want him to make," Scarborough said. "That takes courage, that takes leadership, and we saw the results of that courage and leadership saying no to his own base yesterday."

3. Republicans aways pretend to know what the left is thinking

Somehow it justifies their twisted reasoning.

4. Don't forget the

"it's a hoax to distract us from what's REALLY going on", position.

They think it's a "Wag the Dog" situation to distract Americans from the economy (or worse).
