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.
Being holed-up in caves and cut-off from the outside world for the past few years, it’s understandable that Al Qaeda brass might have mistakenly thought Americans elected Clarence Thomas President.
UPDATE #1: It’s all over for Al-Qaeda – Diversity training in the waiting.
Here’s Evan Kohlmann, NBC News’ house terrorism analyst:
"Because, you know, Al-Qaeda itself has had problems with racism and bigotry within the ranks, and it was only about a decade and a half ago that Al-Qaeda was paying different salaries to its Arab members and its black African members. And the person administering that financial scheme, that payment scheme, is now the number three in charge of Al-Qaeda. He wasn't demoted, he wasn't punished for this, he was promoted. So I think the question is, is Al-Qaeda really in a position to be, you know, spouting off about the evils of racism when clearly they have as much problem with it as anybody else."
We swear it – this quote wasn’t pulled from The Onion – he really said it. Dude is actually concerned that the deadliest terror network on the face of the planet may in fact be racist. Dear God, No!
Well, Al-Qaeda has crossed the line now. With this revelation that Al-Qaeda is not, in fact, a thoroughly enlightened and diversity-embracing organization, Big Media has leveled its sites on it and it will only be a matter of time before Al-Qaeda big shots are tracked down by Code Pink commandos and forced against their will into East Bay re-education camps.
Get used to it, folks. This is the sort of menatality that will inform those responsible for our safety for the next four years.

Not to get totally of the point... well actually, yeah, I am getting totally of the point...
But this is my favorite paragraph of 2008, cut and pasted out of what I'm guessing is a little-read story from AP from today. For me, it SO captures the essence of the GOP Congressional delegation. Here ya go, from AP on Ted Stevens last speech from the Senate floor:
Among the farewells was one from another Republican departing under the cloud of scandal, Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, who pleaded guilty in a men's airport sex scandal but has denied doing anything wrong.
"Uncle Ted, I'm going to miss you," Craig said. "This Senate will miss you, your state will miss you and America will miss you."
Geez, Sen. Craig, I don't want to know just how much you'll miss Sen. Stevens. I suppose you can tap your foot faster to indicate how much. Well, anyway, AP clearly didn't do a thorough job getting reactions because I also wanted to hear former Rep. Duke Cunningham (R-CA) describe how Mr. Alaska was a giant in the halls of DC.
It's like a black comedy of some sort. Porky's VII, The Revenge of The Revenge.

We have absolutely no idea how that comment relates, but... We heartily concur!

Mongo,
I was also apalled by that comment.
The lack of leadership and ethics in the Republican party (and the policies that they implemented in the last 8 years because of it) was the real cause of the Obama victory.
Now can he prove he's any better? He's bringing in the same old same old from the Democratic party that live the same reality in Congress and big politics. It looks like it's going to be an uphill climb for him. We'll see.
I hope my party finds its moral compass in the next year or two, and returns to the fiscal sanity of the Newt Gingrich Congresses, without allowing the religous right to form the agenda (and thereby polarize the electorate like happened in the 90's). Again, we'll see.
Dean, truly hilarious post. East Bay re-education camps indeed. Next you thing you know, the media will discover that Al-Qaeda is misogynist, then they'll REALLY be in trouble.
Ah, Ohioan. A rare point of agreement. May not agree on all the fine points of fiscal conservatism --and isn't the devil always in the details? -- but all else you mentioned is straight up and I can respect it.
As to the point at hand (at least the point I brought up, not BwD's original point, ha ha!) what was Craig doing within a country mile of the senate floor in the first place? That was a moment begging to be made fun of! Doesn't the GOP have some sort of PR coordinator to keep scenarios like yesterday's from occurring?
