Al Qaeda Leader Calls President-Elect Obama "House Negro"

And that's the polite translation. The phrase might be more accurately translated as "house slave."

And, said that Obama would continue the war against Islam started by Bush, and that Barack Obama has a heart full of hate.

So: Barack Obama is a tool of George W. Bush?!

And a house slave??!

I don't know how the Islamic world will take al-Zawahri's latest words of wisdom, but here in America I think they'll go over about as well as "Obama Half-Breed Muslin" did during the recent election.

Here's how The New York Times started its article about Ayman al-Zawahri's latest audio release:

"In a propaganda salvo by Al Qaeda aimed at undercutting the enthusiasm of Muslims worldwide about the American election, Osama bin Laden's top deputy condemned President-elect Barack Obama as a 'house Negro' who would continue a campaign against Islam that Al Qaeda’s leaders said was begun by President Bush.

"Appealing to the “weak and oppressed” around the world, the Qaeda deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri, said in a video released Wednesday that the 'new face' of America only masked a 'heart full of hate.'..."
