Al Qaeda on Obama

They're not fans. From the AP's Cairo bureau report of a new audio message from Ayman al-Zawahri:

Al-Zawahri says in an audio message, which appeared on militant Web sites Wednesday, that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X. He calls Obama a "house negro."

The audio plays over still pictures of al-Zawahri, Malcolm X praying, and Obama with Jewish leaders.

Evidently, Al-Zawahri doesn't spend a lot of time reading the conservative blog Atlas Shrugs. Otherwise he'd know that Obama is actually Malcolm X's love child. It's such a shame when dingbat worldviews collide. . . .

He's been talking to Nader, who called Obama a potential "Uncle Tom".

"Atlas Shrugs"  makes such a compelling case for Malcolm X's paternity , complete with timelines, documents, scenarios, and lots and lots of pictures of scary Negroes with un-American names.  How could I have been so blind.

I got to get me one of those "Infidel" T's.

I don't why one would look down one's nose at Al Qaeda, when a number of Americans seemed to think there was no contradiction between accusing Obama of being a Muslim and simultaneously excoriating him for belonging to an evangelical church with a strong line in racialized Christian theology.

his is obviously just a ruse to fool the stupid Americans for a little while longer. Everyone knows that Obama has all but sold America to Al Qaeda; on January 21st we will become the United States of Al Qaeda and Obama will be king.

Obama IS Malcom X's illigitimate child; X was Muslim and had ties to Al Qaeda and ensured that his child would be trained to take over operations in America after his death. Once Obama is crowned and America is sold to the terrorists, the plan will be complete.

DUH!
