al Qaeda calls Obama “House Negro:” Zawahiri just lacks, you know, “empathy”
Testing, testing…1,2,3…Testing…
So, al Qaeda bigwig Ayman Zawahiri has insulted Barack Obama as a dishonorable black and a House Negro. (Full transcript and audio at NEFA.) B-b-b-but I thought Obama’s election was supposed to change the world’s attitudes about America! What happened to “The World Wants Obama?” And I thought only us meanie conservatives were the RAAAACISTS?
What will Obama’s response be, many are wondering today. If you’ve been paying attention, you already know: This is the fool who in the days following the 9/11 attacks wrote that what the jihadists needed was more…empathy. Flashback:
Even as I hope for some measure of peace and comfort to the bereaved families, I must also hope that we as a nation draw some measure of wisdom from this tragedy. Certain immediate lessons are clear, and we must act upon those lessons decisively. We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction.
We must also engage, however, in the more difficult task of understanding the sources of such madness. The essence of this tragedy, it seems to me, derives from a fundamental absence of empathy on the part of the attackers: an inability to imagine, or connect with, the humanity and suffering of others. Such a failure of empathy, such numbness to the pain of a child or the desperation of a parent, is not innate; nor, history tells us, is it unique to a particular culture, religion, or ethnicity. It may find expression in a particular brand of violence, and may be channeled by particular demagogues or fanatics. Most often, though, it grows out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.
We will have to make sure, despite our rage, that any U.S. military action takes into account the lives of innocent civilians abroad. We will have to be unwavering in opposing bigotry or discrimination directed against neighbors and friends of Middle Eastern descent. Finally, we will have to devote far more attention to the monumental task of raising the hopes and prospects of embittered children across the globe—children not just in the Middle East, but also in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and within our own shores.

Where is the love?
OK that does it. Obama may have been clueless when he babbled on about “understanding the sources of madness”, but an outsider insulting Black Americans is insulting all of us. Note to Zawahiri, your favorite goat is seeing other people…
Hmmm, seems I’ve heard that phrase used before… Harry Belafonte used it to describe Colin Powell, funny, it didn’t make the headlines back then.
Zawahiri had better watch it – insult Obama The Experienced, and the Democrats will declare nuclear war!
Well, at least we know Obama’s found the “poor” to whom he plans to “spread” working American’s money: al Qaeda.
Of course, maybe Obama will instead chose to bail them out, too.
Well, when you look at the number of former Clinton people coming onboard….
House negroes? Zawahiri should hear the names Americans use for his people!
“House negro.” Heh. Yet another ideological connection between al-Qaeda and the radical American left.
yeah, and note to Poland’s Prime Minister. American lefties don’t appreciate comments like the racist one you made ..you betta watch out too, their wrath ain’t pretty!
Ben Laden is poor??? Wow, obama is clueless.
I thought Obama was the House Salad, with extra arugula.
WOW!!! Glad to see that ZaWTFahiri is as classy as ever. What a pig.
I’m sure it’s too much to hope for that Obama will just carpet-bomb the Afghan-Pakistan border, but it would be so great if he did. And it would go a long way toward reforming his image as a wuss and a panderer.
A girl can dream, right?
Awwww, he just needs a hug. Give him a hug and show your stuff, Mr. President.
can’t we all just get along?
He called the Messiah a What? Well there goes his face time on MSNBC …that’s right Al Zawahiri you don’t get to call the Savior of all mankind, your family names and expect to get away with it CNN is going to start using your unflattering photo now thats right…Oh No, I know he did’ntn go there…GIGGLING
The source of their madness……hmmmmmmm Quran.
Oh, and they are poor and desperate….hmmmmm seems the 9/11 hijackers were neither! And bin Laden has never been poor, was educated and not desperate!
Leadership under BO is a misnomer.
The world may not have liked us under Bush but at least they respected us. Can’t say the same under this putz.
Listening to the Wilkow Majority in the other ear… he made a good point a few minutes ago:
Isnt this a Hate Crime? And so doesnt Obama need to sue Al-Qaida in the International Court at The Hague?
Oh the next four years are going to be hilarious watching the Dem and the libs drown under the weight of their hypocrisy…
How funny is that – you people and the Al Qeada idiots are in the same boat.
You losers should hire this fool to be your spokesperson.
This sounds like Ayman Zawahiri is trying to goad (or is that goat) Obama into doing something dumb like invade Pok-is-tan as he stated he would!
You wanted it. It’s your war now, libs. Fun, isn’t it?
See, that’s where you’re wrong. We are, unfortunately, stuck in the same boat with you.
I’m sure Obama will handle this with diplomacy.
The problem is simple, the cave ole Zawahiri is hiding in does not have access to MSLSD.
Of course that cave is probably in fact a villa in Iran.
Or that least an Iranian subsidized cave in Pakistan.
I understand they are most desirable of the available caves. All come appointed with bowls for feet-washing prior to entry, face Mecca, each multi-cave mortgage gets the finest Iranian prayer rugs. And have dial-up internet access to Al-Jezeera
When you want a luxury cave you shop Iranian first.
Dig the official Obama response. “We will have no response.” Wow. Now that is impressive.
Just realized that Al-Qaida may not be as media savvy as they used to be. (Or the story that I link to below may be true)
Why didnt Al-Qaida set up the WHITE CRAKKA to call out Obama as the house negro? Oooooh the luscious irony of that one.
American Traitor Adam Gadahn is Dead Update
uh mr president elect, your oneness, the great collectivist savior, from the shores of the hawaiian? isles…I think this “Problem isn’t Poverty” It is that pesky wahabi thing, pointed out over and over again by the Media, remember the ones that got you elected? Figures Obama doesn’t watch the news or read newspapers but Palin, now she better know what dying newsprint she should be reading.
I googled it for you oh Soul Healer, Oh Lightbringer….Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama, oh crap… 4 years of this @##%$! BIG GRIN
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1173310/posts
Finally a reason for liberals to fight the war on terror. You can kill and mame our citizens, kill and mame our soldiers, but you dare call the messiah a “house negro” and now they have done it. We’re gonna get you now.
Probably keep Guantanamo open just for spite.
Now that precedent has been set, I’m anxiously awaiting Ayman Zawahiris’ appearance on Good Morning America.
What? They only book white, American unrepentent terrorists? How racist.
Yup, Cheryl, it’s definitely not a good thing when you got somebody like Obama in charge who’s addicted to compliments from 3rd world thugs. Probably easier on his system than his cocaine habit, but not so good for the American system.
You should hear what Al Qaida calls homosexuals!
After his timid RodneyKing-like response to the Russian invasion of Georgia (“Can’t we all just get along?”) his handlers are telling him to keep his trap shut whenever a problem comes up. Such things are all above his pay grade and he just embarasses himself.
O/T but….
Since Obama used to do a lot of drugs and he is hiring a ton of Clinton ex’s, Can Billy Bob now admit that he burned a few back in the day? (Psst, the burn scars between your thumb and forefinger never go away – you know what Im talking about… )
So are the pot/sex parties and the Raves going to start back up on Inaguration Day in the White house ?
I bet Al-Qaida has a pipeline to Kine Heroin and Opium in Afghanistan…
Obama is definitely bringing about change. al-Qaida never used that term to describe Bush.
Boy, oh boy, al-Qaida has done it now! Three thousand dead, no big deal, but al-Qaida gonna learn not to mess wit the Messiah. We may even unleash al-GAYda on them.
Hilarious. You’re basing this on the deferential approach al Qaeda took toward America under Bush’s presidency (e.g., 9/11)? And the respectful tone the rest of the world has used in talking about the U.S. over the last eight years? Quite a knack for gross revisionism you’ve got there.
So true. But maybe once Obama pulls off his mask and shows he’s the Muslim we all know that he really is, they’ll issue a full retraction.
::doing a beat-box at the moment that you cant hear::
Give it up!!! MC Obama in da house, Bo-ye…
(just think of my boy Flavor-Flav in the Lincoln Bedroom!)
re: backwoods conservative
al-Quida never had to use terms like that to address President Bush. He had the main stream media and the leftist wacko’s do it for him.
Al, Could you please step up to the microphone and repeat your statement so we can be sure you ae not misquoted.
Now smile for the camera mounted on the Predator Drone. That’s it, now step a little to the left, …..there, now hold that pose for…. just a second and ….
Seriuously, when it comes to this human debris I am with my President Elect. Mr. President (George) KILL HIM. If you can’t find him before Jan. 20, then Mr. President Elect, Happy Hunting. I am with you. Americans all when it comes to dealing with Al Quiada.
he sounds like you…a liberal wacko! so does bin-laden haven’t you noticed??
just fyi as something to think about. Al-Qaida didnt just call up their travel agent and book those trips to the Twin Towers. Its takes years of planning, logistics and financial pre-planning. Bush reaped what Clinton sowed who reaped what Bush sowed who reaped what Reagan sowed who reaped what….
The Muslims/Socialists/Communists dont CARE which party holds power in the US.
Everyone’s probably still pooped from all of Bush’s nonstop coke parties.
I agree. I was pointing out how ludicrious it is to suggest the opposite. The notion that al Qaeda RESPECTED Bush is just…dumb.
I personally don’t fall for the fake hate from the terrorist friends of B Hussein Odumbo!
As long as no one vacuums the carpets, they can start fresh without missing a beat on Day 1!
And they’ll save energy!
Really? I was just getting started.
Oh Noes! Al Qaeda has conquered Uh-bah!-meh’s potent “oh, I get it; it’s because I’m black, isn’t it?” negotiating technique! We’re dooooomed!
Fixed.
If these racist remarks by the terrorists keeps up those detainees at Gitmo can kiss goodbye their hopes for an early release. Hate speech should get them at least 5-10 years in the re-education camps. We will running into them for years to come.
My bad.
That’s President-elect Uh-Bah!-Meh.
Must respect the office.
Obama’s 9-11 response is the key to why I did not want to see him as president.
The comment;
These are good words for a minister or liberal arts professor but from a leader it sounds like an excuse.
Side note; Unfortunately for Obama his name will soon come up first on the term “House Negro” on Google search.
Much the same way the search optimizing crowd pushed President Bush to the top results for the term “miserable failure”.
I hope Mr. Obama has the stomach for killing people, because that’s exactly what he’s going to have to do once in office. By the way, Mr. President-elect, the nuclear football…it’s just an expression. It’s a tough world out there. have a nice day.
Oops, already happened. With Michelle’s article above #3 for in the results.
Obama can send Hillary to talk to Zawahiri, afterall she has had experience with landing under sniper fire. One hour with her and those terrorists thugs will want to join their 72 virgins.
Perhaps, or perhaps Ayman Zawahiri is providing cover for his fellow believer–Peace of Mecca trap. Give Peace a chance-Bomb Mecca? Or perhaps like Saladin’s Treaty of Jeruselm.
Now all face Chicago and pray to Lord Mullah Hussein Obama, our President elect or you could
LOCK AND LOAD
Your choice.
Sort of like voting “present.”
“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” source
No dummy! I say that based on what the Prime Minister of Poland said about D’Ohbama. In case you didn’t catch it, he made mention of Obama’s granddaddy eating a Polish missionary.
Raaacist.
(One a day every day so I too can be PC)
Please. What is he supposed to do? Get into a silly name calling argument with a taped message from a terrorist?
That’s almost as silly as some of the flame wars that go on here.
Also, as much as it pains me, Bush is still the “Decider” for the next 60 days. Obama has been very careful to note that he is not President yet, and has made it clear he is not going to be commenting on any stuff like this until he is.
Zawahiri just needs a hug and a unicorn and all will be ok.
Step out of the way, Special Ops. The Obama Truth Squad is coming for Zawahiri!
How dare he refer to our ‘first colored president
‘ as a house negro!
If Zawahiri doesn’t watch it, Obummer will give him the ol’ scratch-the-temple-with-the-middle-finger treatment. Devastating!
I’d figured that Hope-a-Dope would finally have to stop voting “present” once he got into the big chair. Wrong.
Ordinarily I’d say that Zawahiri’s remarks would be good news, in that our sunshine patriots on the left could finally find something to get angry about other than the existence of conservatives here at home.
But, no. As Ann Coulter so presciently observed after 9/11: even when we finally give them a war against religious fanatics, lefties still won’t fight — because to do so would put them on the same side as the United States.
Can’t have that, now can we?
Well, at least Hope-a-Dope is now in some good company as an identified House Negro, right along Colin Powell, Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas — who have all been tagged with that phrase by our own domestic left.
As I noted, he had no problem throwing his dimwitted 2 cents in when Russia invaded Georgia, Chappy (and he wasn’t even Prrz-elect then). Obamas’ handlers know he’s just not very bright and have wisely convinced him to shut up on important matters until they find someone who’s up to handling such things for him.
You know, I was going to say that it was only a matter of time before some leftist got around to bringing George Bush into the equation. And voila, right on cue.
Well, they have done it now. Obamassiah now has reason to wage war against these people. They have no INSULTED “THE ONE” and there is no way HE can allow that. I bet some computers in Ohio are already getting cranked up and logged in.
Dang you, Dexter – you give away Obama’s entire plan for dealing with foreign threats!
I did read that post, I think the plot was stretching credulity but I thought Atlas Shrugged could have shopped the treatment to Spike Lee;) I don’t know if it would could be made into a major film..but maybe
a mini series or a documentary on BETor a half hour sitcom on the UPN.They obviously have no idea how cool he looks in his jeans and work out ‘wear.’
Woohoo! My first raaaaaccciiisttt! calling! A virgin no more. Thanks, AZ!
The Office of the Prezident-select released the following Arabic statment:
“S’alami ba’loney pa’ast-rami”
Loosely translated as
“I know you are, but what am I?”
I won’t be outdone by AzN, Sandy! Let me add “Haaaaa-ter!” and “Biiiii-got!”.
Now, let them try to say I’m not a generous guy!
Ever notice how we never see Zawahiri and Keith Olbermann together in the same room? (I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’.)
I love clinical psychopathology.
It gives us something to bomb.
Try 20,000 al-Qaeda in Iraq dead. Revise away LMAO
You can read whatever you will into it, but there is a huge difference between running for an office and being President-Elect. That should be obvious, but I am not surprised some here would choose to ignore it. Other President elects have gotten in trouble for acting what was perceived as “out of turn”. Obama is trying not to make the same mistake.
Wow. I didn’t know that “George Bush is still the President” was such a controversial stance. I will try to tone down my hateful rhetoric in the future.
If Zawahiri were a Congressman…
“Madame Speaker, I wish to revise and extend my
penis; er…, ahh…, ‘remarks’”.From the pulpit: “Without objection, so castrated”. Bam!
Zawahiri is a man of the cloth. I am shocked and dismayed that he would put down the Obingo Man like this. But that is par for the course when it comes to apostates.
Bear1909 out.
“…and hell followed with him”
PS: I am sure Obingo Man will just sit down and Tawk to the Z-Dude when the time is right. Like right after Hillary does. oy.
What happened to come say it to my face?
Well, at least it’s consistent.
It’s sort of like “voting” (if it could be called that) “present”.
I think what TxSkirt meant about his “We will have no response” comment was do it, don’t say you’re going to do it.
Oops!
Didn’t see your earlier post.
Apologies….
Al Zawahiri really trying to milk that Obama muslim thing ….That didn’t work for The Clinton Campaign, during the Primaries, why would it work now? Ali Babble, thought that Nov 4th, meant the drones would stop haunting his skies. Was he watching MSNBC? Zawahiri had Hope, he thought things were going to Change. I don’t think I can take anymore Terrorist Teasing, it’s just too cruel, OBama, OBama, OBomba, O Bomb Away.
Is it going to be racist to say ‘Dance, Monkey, Dance’ whenever Obama caves in to a foreign or leftist entity?
Hmmmm. If so, then should we go ahead and ban the word monkey?
And by that token, will banannas be racist too? (LOL, he said token….)
Is there going to be a Rule Book handed out at the Orientation for White People ?
What’s your reasoning? How is a candidate quaified to (mis)judge a potential world crisis but the same person, about to assume the office of Presdient, is unqualified to make even a cursory short statement about al Qaeda/terrorism? (Well, if we agree that Obama has always been unqualified in any case, then it would make sense.)
Otherwise, all we got here is a deer caught in the headlights dependent on his handlers to help him avoid saying something wrong again.
I’m glad that Obama will not respond. He isn’t President and he needs to remain quiet until he is. Also, the less he says, the less he can embarrass the USA.
It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
It looks like the terrorists hate this guy – so now you inbred glue sniffing ignoramuses have to find another reason (that has nothing to do with the color of his skin) to hate him.

Not to mention, he shouldn’t dignify this with a response, nor should any of the other individuals the Islamofascist mentioned.
Maybe this will show him that some people CANNOT be reasoned with, though.
Now wait a cotton picking minute here!

“Inbred”? “Glue-sniffing”? What will it take to get this psychotic banned?
Let me write this in all caps in hopes that it may sink in to your hateful brain: I DON’T CARE ABOUT OBAMA’S RACE. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHY I DIDN’T VOTE FOR HIM.
You have venom instead of blood in your veins, I think.
Oh bull.
I really can’t believe you do not see the potential pitfalls of having the person who is going to attain power start acting in a way that leaves any doubt as to who is currently in charge. Obama is rightly keeping his head mostly down, deferring to Bush, and working on transition issues and staffing.
And again, what the hell do you want him to say to “house negro”? “I’m rubber, your glue”? What grand policy decision should he be making in response to a childish taunt?
Whatever. I imagine WHATEVER Obama did here, it would have magically been the wrong answer for you.

MM, what purpose does this serve? Why should it be allowed to stand? I understand freedom of expression, but this is just malicious nonsense.
Shocking. A moment of clarity for The Left.
Chapoutier…you mean you haven’t seen the pretensious “Office of the President-Elect” nonsense on TV?…plus the eye-rolling magazine articles…why he thinks he already is PRESIDENT!
Funny when it involves advancing BHO’s agenda, BHO is promoted as if he already is President, but when it could be deleterious to do so…ooops no he is not.
Barry will be put on the stage soon where no excuse from his supporters will save him except by what he does (or does not do).
It is being discussed on Hot Air also baldilocks is pointing out Muslims as in Arabs, think they own Black People Literally.

Ilovemycountry isn’t clear on anything except his/her own hatred of us. I say we let the poor boy/girl post his/her rantings after all and give them the attention they deserve from now on – NONE. I won’t make the same mistake again.
And, yes, I was harsh, and apologize to all for that (even – especially – the target).
Puts me in mind of Randy Newman’s ‘Good Old Boys’.
“He may be a fool, but he’s our fool. If you think you’re better than him, you’re wrong.”
I believe you were correct the first time. He contributes nothing to the discussion and should be ignored.
