Al-Zawahri called President-elect Obama a "house negro"

Jerk! I think it's going to get very annoying if our enemies use racial slurs to taunt us. One president's called a cowboy and the other a "house negro" iit's interesting how al-Qaida knows enough about our culture to mimic...

"The great irony is that, if they could but see it, Christian and Islamic Fundamentalists are the same people. Their vision of life and how to live it is driven by the same needs and neuroses. What they hate in each other is a projection of what they hate in themselves... It is Literalists who fight wars of religion with Literalists from other traditions, each claiming God is on their side." - Timothy Freke
It's easy to see that the right wing Christian fundamentalists and the Muslim fundamentalists agree on their view of Barak Obama. That's because they are cut from the same cloth. The real difference between Muslims and Christians is that Muslims KNOW their God is the real God and Christians only wish they could know their God is real. Fundamentalist Christians are therefore just wannabe Muslims.
Al-Qaeda is going to have a heck of a time with their anti-American "spin" now that a U.S. President who is wildly popular in the rest of the world has been elected. I would imagine Al-Zahawahri is acting on the advice of the American Al-Qaeda member, Adam Gadahn.
My feeling is that we won't ever be able to stop a terrorist group like Al-Qaeda from attacking and inflicting death on innocent people, but we can make them so irrelevant that they are much less likely to have the capacity to carry out anything catastrophic.
Hmmm....the speech sounds a lot like a GOP talking points memo from a few weeks ago in the campaign. It also sounds a lot like something from Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, or even this blog.
I guess you can finally consider yourself in good company, Michele.
Well, Michelle, we agree on this one.____I think Al-Qaeda is on the ropes and knows it. If that gives some credit to Bush for doing the right thing after he did a lot of wrong things, so be it. But if the man on that tape was hateful enough of the USA to cross several of the lines drawn by Islam itself, and he was, he's desperate.
Considering that Al-Qaeda is run by psychopaths, being insulted and disliked by them should be considered a badge of honor.
I did as you suggested, and, in the first 19 pages of listings I checked, it sounds like "the left" now comprises Harry Belafonte in 2003 and Al Sharpton, responding to Mr. Belafonte's slur.
This piece has been featured at THEWEEK.com as Best Opinion - We really enjoyed your take on the subject.
It seems they "cared enough" to start insulting even before President-elect Obama has taken the oath of office. How "kind". :o)
So Michele is saying that Al-Quaeda, when it uses racist terms, sounds like the left.....
And what would you call those people at the McCain/Palin speeches who called Obama every name in the book? The right wing has not exactly been setting a good example, and this goes back a long time.
Reagan, after all, started his presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, with a speech on states' rights. That town is most famous for the murder of civil rights activists.
This is Al-Quaeda showing that they are scared . The election of Obama has really shown the lie to their portrayal of American values, and it is making it harder for them to get recruits.
This shows that that there are other kinds of power in the world.
surely they will not like obama. unlike bush, who let bin laden go free, obama plans to capture or kill him and the rest of al qaeda.
as for "sounding like the left", i think that you're projecting, michele. how dare he speak badly of our next president! he's obviously encroaching upon your territory! clearly zawahri was watching the mccain/palin campaign speeches for talking points. fundamentalists are cut from the same cloth.
