CNN- bin Laden's #2 man calls Obama 'a house negro' in new audio tape

[Philosoraptor]

Just saw a grainy video on cnn, apparently just released this morning of Al-Zawahri, the guy with the big bump in his forehead, the talking head saying in his video he called President Barack Obama a house negro, just the opposite of Malcom X.

I call bullshit. These cryptic videos are being produced by the neocons, in my fractured opinion.

Update: the talking head now says it was AN AUDIO tape, and they were showing an old video of the guy from their files

32. Good one!

No shit! Can't say that I care what OBL thinks....

2. Typical rethuglican.

[TexasObserver]

3. Did he sound anything like Pat Buchanan?

[obiwan]

5. Bin Laden is dead. These tapes are produced by the current administration. Irrelevant.

[Philosoraptor]

6. How demeaning, bin Laden's 'number two' man

[Epiphany4z]

7. aww they are just still upset

that they didn't get a 3rd Bush term...face it Bush has been great for recruitment.

[Historic NY]

8. Where would they get a "southern term" like that...humm? I wonder?

[soothsayer]

13. Yes, exactly! Can't imagine that phrase is common in Arab parlance

[Behind the Aegis]

25. Maybe he got it here...

Speaking in Arabic, al-Zawahri uses the term "abeed al-beit," which literally translates as "house slaves." But al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as "house Negroes."

The message also includes old footage of speeches by Malcolm X in which he explains the term, saying black slaves who worked in their white masters' house were more servile than those who worked in the fields. Malcolm X used the term to criticize black leaders he accused of not standing up to whites.

16. They get their GOP talking points...

when Rush gets his.

[cali]

17. yeah, Al-Zawahiri is just an ignorant third worlder. Not.

He's an Egyptian, a medical doctor and a scholar. Grab a fucking clue and stop being so patronizing toward people who aren't from a supposed 1st world country. They aren't all ignorant or uneducated.

[Howardx]

22. exactly

very curious

[OhioChick]

9. I thought that dude #2 was dead....

Several times, already. :shrug:

[ThomWV]

10. We lit that bastard up 5 or 6 times that I can recall

[cali]

20. nope. and judging from the posts on this thread and the one in GD-P

many DUers are woefully ignorant about this stuff.

[cali]

18. no. you are thinking of Al-Qaeda in Iraq's number 2,

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13195017

Al-Zawahiri has always been the number 2 in Al-Qaeda.

[Sebastian Doyle]

29. Yes, let's not confuse the mostly exaggerated Al Qaeda

with the completely fictional "Al Qaeda in Iraq".

[DRoseDARs]

11. And? This negro is going to be living in the most powerful house on the planet. Suck it, bitch.

Sorry, Zawy, but "'Negro' in the White House" beats "Rat in a cave" every day of the week.

[soothsayer]

12. That's WHITE HOUSE negro to you, sir! (I agree these tapes are silly BS)

[screembloodymurder]

14. Ok, now I know the CIA is making those tapes.

:-)

[cali]

21. How? What's the evidence of that?

[RollWithIt]

15. These people are real... and they still want to kill us....

Time for real leadership to end their existence.

[Alter Ego]

19. This is kinda like that episode of South Park

where Al-Qaeda gets all pissed off over the episode of Family Guy and airs that "Americans Like To Crap" show in retaliation, and then a guy comes on and goes "HA HA WE BURNED YOU THAT WAS WAY FUNNIER THAN FAMILY GUY".

[Philosoraptor]

23. ............

[leftyladyfrommo]

24. Does he live in the US? How does he even know that phrase?

These guys probably live in New York and we just don't know it.

[AtomicKitten]

26. Well heads up, mo-fo, because he's coming to sweep your ass up.

[Cali_Democrat]

27. He's been listening to too much Rush Limbaugh

[fla nocount]

28. Harry Belafonte used the exact same words the describe ...

Colin Powell. Mr. Twice Dead (third times a charm) is just rehashing old material. I trusted Harry's judgment because he was in position to know.

Being an American though, I have ol' Twice Dead at a disadvantage. I know that being NA is a real thing, being Black is a real thing too, so is Hispanic and divers other cultural and racial identifications, all real. But White, White is an attitude and Obama is whiter than I'll ever be.

[JVS]

35. I think that it's inevitable that when a black person reaches a certain level of success, someone...

will call him that. It's just a special black-on-black version of being called a sellout.

[Kind of Blue]

30. Coming from a guy who lives in a cave

I don't consider it an insult.

[lib2DaBone]

31. Somehow... this type of Racial Slur seems uniquely American?

... I wouldn't be surprised if this tape was produced by the CIA. Many believe that Osama is a ficticious character and I wouldn't doubt this is a ficticious tape.

[JVS]

36. I would too, but then again it's quite possible that a group of radical Muslims might be familiar...

enough with the words of Malcolm X to recall the concept.

[marmar]

33. My tinfoilhat has become a tinfoil sombrero now......That reeks of manufactured B.S.

Yet another of "Al-Qaeda's Greatest Hits" from the White House video library?

[Uzybone]

34. Al-Zawahri = Nader

cheap racial insults.
