Supporters of Sen. John McCain who either believed or insinuated that President-elect Barack Obama is a terrorist may be scratching their heads this morning. According to an AP reporter in Cairo, Ayman al-Zawahri -- al-Qaida's second in command -- has released an audio message highly critical of the former senator, insulting him and calling him, among other things, a "house negro," implying that he's a black American who is subservient to whites.
The message, which showed up on terrorist Web sites Wednesday, claims that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X, adding that his plan to boost military activity in Afghanistan is futile, because Afghans will fight back.
Whether or not the anti-Obama contingent expected a resounding message of post-victory praise from al-Qaida, we already know from a post yesterday (HowObamaGotElected.com Doesn't Click) that voters of both parties subsisted on loads of media-inspired myths: Do people really believe a graduate of Columbia and Harvard believes there are 57 states in the Union? And do people really believe that Gov. Sarah Palin spent $150,000 on Jimmy Choo pumps?
Granted, during the 2008 Election Gov. Palin got excessively lambasted by traditional and non-traditional pundits for her occasional slips of the tongue, folksy cuteness and of course winking. But her detractors never slipped into outright madness in their criticisms, unlike some Ohio supporters seen below who are unsettlingly caught up in this idea that Obama has "got the bloodlines."
B. Brandon Barker's writing has appeared in Global City Review, The Year's Best Fantasy & Horror (St. Martin's Press), Verbicide, The Feed and online at McSweeney's. He's also the author of the novel Operation Emu. A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, he was born in England, raised in Arkansas and now lives in Virginia.
I'm kind of surprised they know that reference. What's next - 'Yo Mama" taunts?
Maybe this the precursor to the "testing" Biden mentioned.

The Malcolm X who was assassinated by radical Elijah-Muhhammad-faction Black Muslims was an enlightened moderate who had left the old race-baiting rhetoric behind him after his eye-opening Haj experience - a fact which Al Qaida conveniently chooses to ignore. I doubt that even this tape would ever convince Bushbots, McCainiacs and Palinistas that Obama is not in Al Qaida's hip pocket.
Obama IS a house negro. He's in the back pocket of the liberal white Democrats, to whom he sold his soul to be elected president. Black people across this country are going to become very unpleasantly surprised when the full effects of this association become apparent and they are once again lost in the shuffle of political expediency.

IF (a big if) Obama were part of a large effort to increase the spread and control of Islam in the western world, this would be one way they would attempt it- To deceive and divert attention. Obama would state, as he has already, that he is pro-Israel, and that he will invade countries like Afghanistan or others were terrorists are hiding. Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups would respond with insults and threats, to make Americans believe they hate him as they do Bush, and gullible Obama supporters will be able to denounce any claims of Obama's ties to the Muslim faith.
The Obamatons, the Democrats, and the liberal media will fall for these diversions hook, line, and sinker. After all, he's the Messiah. Fortunately for America though, our intelligence agencies won't. They will rely on FACTS- Such as Obama's history. He was taught anti-American, Black Liberation Theology in his church for twenty years (and even took his kids there)! His church gave a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the nation of Islam. Obama went to the Million Man March to listen to Farrakhan speak. Plus he sat on a board with terrorist William Ayers and started his political career at a party in Ayers home! Not to mention his two books filled with antiAmerican, anti-white, pro Muslim views.
Obama supporters don't give a damn about any of this. All they see is their deliverer, who has come to take care of them. You reap what you sow.

"her detractors never slipped into outright madness"? What hole have you been living in Brandon? Maybe one of partisan hack induced blindness. Try numerous blogs posting that Palins son is actually from her daughter. Try the Canadian commentator who called her a "porn star". Try the nutjob in West Hollywood who HUNG AN EFFIGY of her. Try AOL itself posting a video of her with a VISITING African blessing her against witchcraft(a custom in his homelans) and trying to insinuate her and witchcraft. Theres plenty more ig you wanna go there. And your article implies that the weak on terrorism/sympathizer tag right wingers applied is somehow invalid...because Al Qaeda chooses to insult him?(and truthfully keep themselves in business)He himself still was against a surge and he himself is against tough interrogation on terrorsists. AlQaeda did what was predictable. No war against "infidels" no need for AlQaeda. Pretty simple. get some balance in your brain dude, Palin had PLENTY of insane hostile critics.

Wow, even the usually delusional thinking of these whackos can differentiate between the obvious and fantasy. I am totally surprised.
