Jesus. CNN playing Malcolm X "House negro, field negro" clip.

Why would they do that? They are pushing an AL QAEDA talking point.

EDIT: It was an interview with Charlie Rangel all about the al Qaeda "House Negro" jab. The questions were so stupid. "Why would he say this when a lot of Muslims see Obama's election as a potential new dawn for American-Islamic relations?" Then answered his own question: They want to keep Muslims angry at America. Rangel stayed cool, just "duh, they're going to find a way to insult whoever runs America." And then the clip, just underscoring the "house negro" meme and basically inviting America to consider whether Obama really is one. "How would Malcolm X feel about Obama's election?" These people ought to think about what message they are sending here.

1. A case of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"?

They must REALLY not want an Obama administration to do well.

3. Yes, because being criticized by Al-Qaeda will certainly sink Obama's popularity

6. I was thinking when it came out, "this'll help Obama with the Palin-types"

but this way of presenting it was not cool w/me.

2. Good.

The more people hear Malcolm, the better.

5. I've got no problem with Malcolm.

I just don't like how they are inviting serious consideration of al fucking Qaeda's assertion that Obama is a house negro. I can't really think of what could be an equivalent insult to a white president, but I don't think they'd be so receptive to it.

8. Osama Bin Laden has been elevated to "pundit" status

Apparently his staff can issue "press releases" and our media will treat it as a legitimate analysis. :crazy:

7. I think the lesson here could be applied to some workers and the big 3 situation as well.
