Al Qaeda Number 2 Calls Obama A House Negro

Americans just elected a black supremacist, Marxist crypto Muslim as their next President. Yet to Al Qaeda, he’s nothing but a “house negro.”

In al-Qaida’s first response to Obama’s victory, al-Zawahri also called the president-elect—along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice—”house negroes.”

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.

The 11-minute 23-second video features the audio message by al-Zawahri, who appears only in a still image, along with other images, including one of Obama wearing a Jewish skullcap as he meets with Jewish leaders. In his speech, al-Zawahri refers to a Nov. 5 U.S. airstrike attack in Afghanistan, meaning the video was made after that date.

“America has put on a new face, but its heart full of hate, mind drowning in greed, and spirit which spreads evil, murder, repression and despotism continue to be the same as always,” the deputy of al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden said.

He said Obama’s plan to shift troops to Afghanistan is doomed to failure, because Afghans will resist.

“Be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them,” he said.

Obama Names Fidel Castro Attorney As White House Counsel

Obama has chosen yet another Clintonite, attorney Gregory B. Craig as White House Counsel.

Here’s some background on the man, and who he’s defended in the past.

Mr. Craig directed President Clinton’s defense team during the impeachment battle against the president in 1998-1999, and he briefly served as a State Department official in the Clinton administration. His earlier government work included a stint as a foreign policy adviser to Senator Edward Kennedy, whom he later represented during the 1991 rape trial of William Kennedy Smith, Mr. Kennedy’s nephew.

{snip}

Mr. Craig defended John Hinckley Jr., who tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981, and was credited with crafting Mr. Hinckley’s successful insanity defense. And in 2000, he represented the father of Elián González in his victorious efforts to have his young son sent back to Cuba after Elián’s mother drowned in an effort to reach Florida with other Cuban refugees and after the boy’s Miami relatives mounted a battle to keep him in the United States.


Hot Air points out
that this is the first time a President has chosen a lawyer who defended an attempted a person who attempted to assassinate a sitting American President. He also lists more unsavory characters that Mr. Craig chose to defend.

# Kofi Annan - The former Secretary-General of the UN hired Craig to defend his interests in the Volcker Commission probe of the Oil-for-Food scandal, which put billions of dollars into Saddam Hussein’s pockets while providing cash for Annan’s son, his deputies, and some allege Annan himself.
# Pedro Gonzalez Pinzon - A Panamanian legislator wanted for murdering an American soldier in 1992. The Dallas Morning News demanded that Obama force Craig to drop the case during the campaign, but no report of whether he did is easily available.

Now I realize that most lawyers are slimy pieces of garbage. The fact that they freely choose to defend these bad people proves it, in my opinion. Now you might say to me, “But Zelda, everyone has a right to a defense,” which is true. But the fact that Obama chose a man with such a shady client list should just prove why he is bad news.

Idiot RINO Congressman - It’s Not Your Money!

The idiot RINO in question is Rep. Joe Knollenberg from Michigan. Here’s a video of him saying that the money for the bailouts of the auto industry doesn’t belong to taxpayers. Where does he think that money comes from? The tooth fairy? And if this bailout gets approved, all that money will be used for is the worker and retiree benefits, thanks to the unions. Here’s an old post from Barking-Moonbat which shows how the UAW transformed General Motors from a profit making business to a giant welfare tit for its workers and retirees.

# Union retirees from GM get to keep their medical benefits, free of charge, until they die

# GM reported its largest loss in history last quarter .. $1.1 Billion

# The cost of providing this health care to union workers adds $1,100 to $1,500 to the cost of each car.

# GM spends more per car for health care than it does for steel for that car.

# GM spends more per car for health care than it does for advertising for that car.

# The United Auto Workers (UAW) union refuses to budge off of its sweet deal.

I don’t want my tax dollars to prop up a giant welfare operation. Anway, here’s the video:

Obama Names Eric Holder As His Attorney General

Here’s some background information on the guy.

What the article I linked to glosses over is Holder’s involvement in the last minute pardon of fugitive tax cheat Marc Rich. But wait. There’s more.

Holder was also very much involved in the pardons of Weather Underground terrorists Linda Evans and Susan Rosenberg.

No wonder Obama chose him.

Bill Ayres Tries To Give Himself A Makeover

Now that Obama is our (ugh!) President Select, domestic terrorist Bill Ayres has come out of the woodwork in an effort to try and give himself a makeover. Of course, the MSM is helping him by giving him air time.

His latest spiel is that he was a peaceful anti-war activist. But that’s clearly a lie.

…“We tried to end [the Vietnam] war,” Ayers said, “but we never committed terror. It’s not terrorism because it doesn’t target people,” referring to his 1970’s bombing sprees.

Oh come on!

Consider this section from a FBI Weather Underground summary called The Chase: “FBI doggedly pursued these terrorists as their attacks mounted…. the Bureau arrested five members who were plotting to bomb a politician’s office. Others were identified after two policemen and a Brinks’ driver were murdered in a botched armored car robbery…” (Italics mine)

A Policelink.com article by Chris Cosgriff recounts: “On February 16, 1970, a bomb exploded at a San Francisco, California Police Department substation, fatally wounding Sergeant Brian McDonnell…. A second officer, Robert Fogarty was partially blinded by the bomb’s shrapnel… members of the Weather Underground, including Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, were prime suspects.

On October 20, 1981… members of the Weather Underground undertook the robbery of a bank to finance their terrorist activities. During the robbery the group murdered an armored car guard and two members of the Nyack, New York, Police Department – Officer Waverly Brown and Sergeant Edward O’Grady, a Vietnam War veteran….several members… were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.” Story here.

Not only does Ayres deny being a terrorist, he recently said at a book signing that prisons should be abolished.

Remember, Obama had very good things to say about Ayres’s book A Kind And Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court. So considering Obama’s Senate record on crime and gun control, I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama stacks the Supreme Court with ultra liberal, pro-criminal Supreme Court Justices who think killers and rapists just need some cuddling.

Mother Of The Late Nixzmary Brown Gets Sentenced

A while back, I posted about the horrific murder of a little girl named Nixzmary Brown by her stepfather, while her so-called mother stood by and did nothing.

Anyway, the slut has been sentenced to 40 1/3 to 43 years in prison. And of course the assorted moonbats are upset that a “mother” received a harsher sentence than her latest sperm donor.

The prosecutor, Ama Dwimoh, said Ms. Santiago was the “one person” who the little girl should have been able to count on. “She called her ‘Mommy,’ ” Ms. Dwimoh told the judge. The word weighed heavily on a trial already filled with horrific details of abuse.

Well of course! After all, it’s the mother that carries the child in her body for nine months, and who then nurses it.

{snip}

One of Ms. Santiago’s lawyers, Kathleen M. Mullin, called the sentence “fundamentally unfair” and said she had expected at most a sentence of 32 years — maximum terms for the manslaughter charge and one of the assault charges, with the sentence for the other assault to run concurrently. (Mr. Rodriguez was not charged with assault.)

Ms. Mullin said that as the mother of the victim, Ms. Santiago was subjected to added scrutiny. “It’s part of the reason this is so upsetting,” Ms. Mullin said. “We subscribe to these biblical ideas of instinctual mothering.”

I hate to break it to this woman, but our society is based on Judeo-Christian values, that gasp, come from the Bible. So if a woman is going to have kids, then she’d darn well better keep them out of harm’s way. And considering that the promiscuous bitch in heat Nixaliz Santiago refused to do even that, she could have at least gotten her tubes tied, or gotten Norplant injections.

“There’s a sacredness about the role of mother,” he said. “When a woman is not fulfilling her role, it shocks the conscience, more than if she commits a crime. If she was prostituting herself or dealing drugs or stealing to feed, clothe and shelter her children, people would be more sympathetic.”

Damn right, the role of a mother is sacred! She’s responsible to bringing new human being into this world, and raising them to be good civilized adults. These leftists clearly hate the Bible because the good book is against doing whatever feels good at the moment.

Details of Ms. Santiago’s troubled past — her learning disabilities, her abusive relationships and her miscarriage shortly before Nixzmary died — have caused some who followed the trial to wonder about her capacity to help her daughter.

Awilda Cordero, a victims’ rights advocate, said that Ms. Santiago herself had been abused by Mr. Rodriguez and feared him. “She didn’t know how to protect this child,” she added.

Here we go again, with the mother as victim routine. She wouldn’t have been in those “abusive relationhips” if she had kept her legs together.

As for not knowing how to protect her child, spare me! That’s something even animals know how to do. (Notice that I don’t call Santiago an animal, since it would highly insulting to animals.)

Katherine M. Franke, the director of Columbia Law School’s Program in Gender and Sexuality Law, said Ms. Santiago’s sentence reinforced simple notions of parental roles, with men perceived as more violent and women as saddled with “all the obligations and responsibility — and ultimately the punishment — for what happens to their children.”

What’s with these crazy college professors?!? Those “simple notions of parental roles” are what has held our society together over the year. And the fact is, men and women are different. So if this Santiago woman didn’t want to “saddled with all the obligations and responsibility” of motherhood, then she shouldn’t have kept popping out children.

Also, notice how this Columbia woman sees women as being “saddled” with “obligations” and “responsibilities?” No women I know who have children would EVER see themselves as being “saddled.” To them, children are a blessing. And whatever they do for their children is simply a labor of love.

{snip}

But the prosecution argued, and a jury agreed, that Ms. Santiago and Mr. Rodriguez together caused Nixzmary’s death: Mr. Rodriguez did the beating, sometimes with encouragement by Ms. Santiago, or else her acquiescence. Nixzmary was found dead on Jan. 11, 2006, after she was severely beaten by Mr. Rodriguez.

Ms. Santiago did not immediately call an ambulance and instead bathed the girl and put her to bed. A neighbor testified that Ms. Santiago was calm that night, wailing only while the neighbor was on the phone with a 911 operator.

How could any mother just stand by while her baby is being beaten?

Ms. Abdel-Dayem and an alternate juror, Lenore Habersham, said that a videotaped statement Ms. Santiago gave to the police was the most compelling evidence against her.

“She was so nonchalant about her daughter’s death,” Ms. Abdel-Dayem said. “That really got us, that she seemed so uncaring.” The jurors, she said, were torn between manslaughter and murder charges. They finally decided that Ms. Santiago had not directly killed her daughter.

“I was deliberating between ‘Is there intent or not?’ ” Ms. Abdel-Dayem said. “I came to the conclusion that there was intent, in the form of her lack of action.”

I agree. Sleeping around with different men was not something this selfish slut of a mother could deny herself. Clearly her feisty little daughter was “in the way.”

ON GAS PRICES

Lately I’ve been using an MSN link to get local gas prices. Here it is. Just type in your zip code.

For the last two weeks I’ve noticed that in my area the gas stations leading the charge by being first with the cheapest gas is 7-11. You know what gas 7-11s pump, right? CITGO. Owned entirely by Hugo Chavez. Fascinating, isn’t it? I doubt Hugo has anything to do with setting the price but I can’t help but wonder if 7-11 owners are beginning to feel the pinch by those (like me) who refuse to buy CITGO.

On a related note, I checked gas prices in NJ. Do you believe they are about 8 cents cheaper than here? And if memory serves me right, the last time I drove through there I could not pump my own gas. So how in the world are these stations making money if they have to hire people to pump gas?

A Blaring Example Of The Media Being In The Tank For Obama

Hat tip: Shane

Mark my words. When the stinky stuff starts hitting the fan, the media will come out in full force behind Obama. They’ll either blame it on the eight year Bush presidency, or they’ll play the race card no matter how much of a failure Obama ends up being.

Another Lawsuit Challenging Obama’s Natural Born American Status Launched

I’m almost certain that this one will get tossed just like that donkey judge did with Philip Berg’s lawsuit.

Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, vice-presidential candidate Wiley S. Drake, and the Chairman of the American Independent Party, Markham Robinson, have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento seeking to bar Secretary of State Debra Bowen from certifying to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the names of Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the United States, and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.

In addition, they have asked that the court issue a peremptory writ barring Senator Obama’s California Electors from signing the Certificate of Vote until such documentary proof is produced and verified.

Here’s another one which will certainly get tossed as will the lawsuit of Leo Donofrio.

The fact is, Obama has lots of money and powerful wealthy people behind him, along with the media. So as much as I would love to see Hussein brought down, I don’t think it will happen. And any bad things that happen during his administration will either be brushed under the rug, or blamed on eight years of George W. Bush. Obama’s backers and the media will see to that.
