Al Qaeda Condemns "Unfair" Pro-Obama Press Bias
No, this is not from the Onion

Global reactions to Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri's controversial condemnation of U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama as a "House Slave" (or, alternatively, "House Negro") have begun to pour in -- including via the top jihad web forums used by Al-Qaida to disseminate its propaganda. Though hardcore Al-Qaida supporters have predictably dismissed any criticism of Dr. al-Zawahiri and are fiercely backing his choice of words, there is a rather ironic (if not entirely unfamiliar) twist to this issue. After observing international press reporting on the incident, these same supporters are now bitterly attacking the media for its "unfair" pro-Obama bias and for deliberately "confusing" the meaning of al-Zawahiri's message.

This is increasingly making it hard to distinguish Faux News and the RW mouthpieces from Al-Quaida!

2. Al-qaeda has officially jumped the shark.
A big bad terrorist organization is complaining about their message not being understood?

What a joke.

3. "Murdering religious fascists whine about being 'misunderstood.'"
Hey -- they have a lot in common with our religious fascists!

7. I'm so sorry, Al Qaeda.

8. Where is this going?...
I can never figure out the intent behind all this bullshit. At least when bin Laden wrote his letters they were logical. This cartoon stuff is so...American.

9. You got me... Seems when the CIA stopped producing these
tapes and letters they became a lot more nonsensical.... Al Quaida must have lost their Blackwater consultant.


Ok, Ok, not necessarily serious, or my tinfoil hat is too tight or....something :sarcasm:

10. I don't think it's tinfoil anymore...
I think it's logic. Whenever I say ...:wtf: it's tinfoil time somewhere.

12. Heh, looks like these assholes have something in common with the assholes on Fox News besides
simply being assholes.
