So some Al Queda twit called Pres. Elect Obama a "House Negro"?
Well, Mr. Al Queda guy, you're going to have to do lots better than that to even rise to the nasty level of what the Republicans here in this country were saying about President Elect Obama just a few short weeks ago (and are no doubt still saying).

1. Why am I not even buying that this is a term Muslim extremists would use?
Another fine indie production by BFEE Studios perhaps?

11. because you believe they're all ignorant undeducated third world
denizens living in caves? Al-Zawahiri is an Egyption, a doctor, and a scholar. Quite a bit is known about him, and he's hardly some third world rube.

13. Wrong actually
It stems from my belief that it's more likely it some BS psyops like most of these tapes probably have been.

15. Except how realistic is it
that he would be familiar with American plantation speak?

That's pretty much a colloquialism that has stayed 1) In the South, 2) Within the AA community, in the way he is implying it here.

It's not a phrase that we have widely broadcast. You have to have lived here to have picked that up.

16. He also refrenced Malcom X and Malik Shabazz in the speech
Edited on Wed Nov-19-08 11:09 AM by davepc
You represent the direct opposite of honorable black Americans like Malik al-Shabazz, or Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him). You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America. And so you promised to back Israel, and you threatened to strike the tribal regions in Pakistan, and to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan, in order for the crimes of the American Crusade in it to continue. And last Monday, your aircraft killed 40 Afghan Muslims at a wedding party in Kandahar. As for Malik al-Shabazz (may Allah have mercy on him), he was born to a black pastor killed by white bigots, but Allah favored him with guidance to Islam, and so he prided himself on his fraternity with the Muslims, and he condemned the crimes of the Crusader West against the weak and oppressed, and he declared his support for peoples resisting American occupation, and he spoke about the worldwide revolution against the Western power structure.

That's why it wasn't strange that Malik al-Shabazz (may Allah have mercy on him) was killed, while you have climbed the rungs of the presidency to take over the leadership of the greatest criminal force in the history of mankind and the leadership of the most violent Crusade ever against the Muslims.

And in you and in Colin Powell, Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning "House Negroes" are confirmed.

You also must appreciate, as you take over the presidency of America during its Crusade against Islam and Muslims, that you are neither facing individuals nor organizations, but are facing a Jihadi awakening and renaissance which is shaking the pillars of the entire Islamic world; and this is the fact which you and your government and country refuse to recognize and pretend not to see.


The only transcript I can find at the moment is on foxnews's site.

21. Thank you, that's the part I wanted to know
I didn't know about him.

What a strange guy. I guess Ruby Ridge and the Branch Davidians didn't suit. :P

Edited on Wed Nov-19-08 10:21 AM by ck4829
Just a tad bit unsettling when Freepers look more extreme than Al Qaeda does.

10. Why do they call him Number 2 when we haven't seen Number 1
in years. Sounds like he's really Number 1.

12. He did Obama a favor with that one. Now, any racist right-winger who smears Obama ...
... is just "supporting Al Queda." It's a quote that can now be shoved down the throats of bigots. Turnabout is fair play - especially in this one.

19. Well, we'll see
I know that pursuing Al Qaeda wasn't a real big priority for the Bush administration, but they might want to be a little more circumspect with the next resident of the White House. I'm reminded of the scene in Silver Streak where Richard Pryor is acting as a train porter when he "accidentally" spills coffee on the bad guy. The bad guy, a bit of a fop, is upset and calls Pryor a "boy." Pryor pulls a pistol on him and says, "I'd watch that 'boy' shit if I were you. You don't know me!"

27. I like the scene in "In the Heat of the Night" where the wealthy Southern
landowner slaps Sidney Poitier for being 'uppity'.. then Poitier (as Virgil Tibbs) slaps him right back, just as hard.

22. Just a note/query
Isn't "al-Qaeda" alleged to have an American PR guy? A fellow who grew a beard and went over to "their" side? I seem to remember something like this from a couple of years back. It would explain a degree of fluency with American idiom.

24. Hmmm...Its curious that the term "house negro" would be used-
Is that a term which is familiar to people in the Middle East?

28. It's a term used by Malcolm X, who he is expressly quoting.

Maybe these people don't like us. Maybe they mean us harm.

26. That's called "baiting"
and I'm pretty sure Obama will see through it.
