The actions of Al Qaeda have been terrible for twenty years but Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have show far more interest in hand wringing about why radical Muslims hate us rather than actually fighting the War on Terror. But that’s all about to change.
Something so awful has happened that could be a game changer for the powerful Democrats. Al Qaeda may be guilty of a hate crime by calling Barack Obama a racist name. When Al Qaeda were just murdering thug terrorists they were seen by Reid and Pelosi an understandable reaction to the oppression of America in the personage of George W. Bush. But this changes everything.
Remember, some radio host nobody ever heard of just mentioned Obama’s middle name once and Reid and Pelosi considered rolling back free speech rights until after the election. Now, finally this one “hate crime” by Al Qaeda may make Reid and Pelosi angry enough to actually fight the War on Terror. According to the AP:
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) – Al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday, describing the president-elect in demeaning terms that imply he does the bidding of whites.
The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Ayman al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites, that Obama is “the direct opposite of honorable black Americans” like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are reportedly now in the war room drawing up plans for an invasion of Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. The war plan first consists of indictments from Human Rights Commissions and then…war. And this time they added that they’re actually going to fund it this time. The whole time.

What they didn’t report, is that “abd” (plural “abeed” used in the video) does not mean “negroe” but is equivalent to the N-word in Arabic. al-Zawahri didn’t understand the difference between “negroe” used in Malcolm X’s speech and the N-word, so he used the pejorative.

Just an aside, I didn’t read the last paragraph in your post. Were you being serious? If so, do you have any link to news reports on this? If it was a joke, then I guess I’m too dense to understand it today and I apologize.

“… describing the president-elect in demeaning terms that imply he does the bidding of whites …”
You mean like liberals do with Justice Thomas?

Or Colin Powel circa 2002

Deusdonat, the last part was my joke. They’d never fund a war.

They’d never fund a war.
Unless it’s a War on Poverty, or a War on Drugs, or a War on Free Speech.
And look at how successful they’ve been at leading the charge on those fronts.
But I fear they may win the third one in that list.

Matthew gotcha. But really…ya think? You don’t think a Democratic congress would fund a war if called for by a Democratic president? On issues that make constituents, lobbiests and “consultants” (see: politicians) money (i.e. government contracts) war is very lucrative. I have found making money is the one bi-partisan issue they all agree on.

I knew there was a difference between the US and Canada. In Canada it’s not who you say it about, it’s who’s doing the saying.

The funny thing is that Al Sharpton called Condi Rice and Powell the same exact thing but now he’s outraged that Al Qaeda called Obama that.
November 21, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Was that Al Sharpton? I thought it was Harry Belafonte.
November 21, 2008 at 7:32 pm
And BTW, if it WAS Sharpton (and I wouldn’t put it past him) then this is just another in a long series of statements which prove that his fundie baptism should have lasted for longer than 10 minutes…

I love the MSM. The Islamists have hated everybody in the West for decades and dreamt of destroying America (and Israel) – and the Left has wanted to prosecute them as criminals – the very definition of “hate crime.”
But NOW is the first time they notice?
