CAIRO, Egypt (AP) — Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday, using a demeaning racial term implying that the president-elect is a black American who does the bidding of whites.
The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Ayman al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites, that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.
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.

Sounds like GOP written dialog.
Well, we know al Q had no class or dignity.
Actually, the GOP would have said that Obama was al Q.
BREAKING: A.G. Mucksack taken to hospital and based on this cat's rudimentary knowledge, he might have had a mild stroke.
The US Department of Propaganda is getting silly now. First they gave that fake Osama with the cheap beard and now a tape that sounds more American then Middle East. When I read the so called second in command said Malcom X and the
60's Leader I knew it as a fake. The Middle East and other Countries all over the World are better educated in American History then Americans. Everyone knows Dr. King so who ever did the tape messed up. As for the names called against Obama well those are American names as people of color are rooted from Africa. I notice the Media dropped the topic since the Public didn't buy the lie this time.
