Al Qaeda has turned into a bunch of Internet trolls. Do not feed. 
You bet your ass it’s on! Now we have to “bring it”.
House Negro.
Heh.
Who here thinks that Osama Bin Laden will suddenly turn up before GWB is out of office, making everything right as rain for the Republicans.
Anyone?
Bueller?
He’s not even in office yet, and the whole world has an opinion of what kind of president he was. I think the Onion had the best headline: “African-American elected to nation’s worst job.”
Obama doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy to let some cave dwelling troll get his goat.
But if he want’s to nuke him, who am I to stop him.
If he’s cool, he’ll say:
“I was taught never to speak ill of the dead.”
It’s on. Obama issued a press release today alleging that Al-Qaeda’s mamma so ugly she got to wear a pork chop to get the dog to play with her.
But…but wait…I thought Obama was a Muslim? 
:rolleyes:
There was an article somewhere earlier in the week about the problem that Al Qaida was having with Obama. It quoted some of the people on the secure password-required AQ related website as saying that there was no room for racism in Islam.
I guess Al Qaida didn’t get that message.
My hope is that this goes over well (sarcasm) with Black Muslims, especially the African branch of Al Qaida.
Do people who are so called spokespeople for Al Quida or anybody in the Middle East consider what the hell they say anymore? I guess it’s ok to call all arabs sand niggers now. Are countries in the Middle East really this tone deaf?
Yup, great idea to insult the next president of the United States before he even takes office. Just wow.
An Al Quaeda VIP acting provocatively? I don’t believe it.
Outstanding.
From my post in another thread, Obama being briefed by the military.
O: “What does that translate as exactly?”
Mil: “He called you a House N----r, Sir.”
O: “Oh yeah? Can I bomb this guy? How many airplanes do you need for this sort of thing?”
Point of order: Al Qaeda doesn’t speak for “all arabs” any more than David Duke speaks for “white folks.”
Point of order number two: Al Qaeda ain’t no country, tone deaf though it may be.
Point of order number three: They’re only doing this to make their fanbase happy and to provoke us into reacting like idiots.
Don’t help 'em any, please?
Look, didn’t Barack Obama say in one speech/debate that our goal would be to “find Bin Laden, and kill him”. Not find and prosecute, find and kill. So of course they’ll try and see if they can get him to do something silly and rash. I’d go with Alessan’s proposed response.
I must have missed something. Since when do we care what AQ calls us?
“Mr President Elect, we’ve just translated the latest Al Qaeda proclamation. It’s the first one to mention you directly.”
“Damn, I knew this was coming. Give it to me straight. What did they say?”
“Sir, they’ve emphatically denounced and personally insulted you.”
“Thank you, Jesus!”
The bad part is that I have yet to see a denouncement of this statement from the Arab world. How can this be?
This just in… Osama’s campaign to sucker American yokels into kicking themselves in the chin appears to be bearing fruit on the SDMB…
Probably because the vast majority of the Arab world doesn’t give two shits about Al Qaeda or what they say
