Killing of thousands of innocent people and vowing to destroy all non believers did not upset them. Calling Obama a house negro has really set them off.
Al Qaeda's number two crackpot, Ayman Zawahiri, called Barack Obama a "house Negro" in an audio tape released yesterday. That was beyond the pale, as State Department spokesman Sean McCormack explained:
"It's just, you know, more despicable comments from a terrorist," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters when asked to comment on the remarks.
"And if anybody needed ... more of a contrast between what ... the West and the United States stand for, in terms of democracy and what these terrorists stand for, I don't think you need to go any further than those comments," he said.
I would have said that you don't need to go farther than the fact that the terrorists try to crash airliners, blow up buildings and kill as many innocent people as possible. In some people's eyes, though, that seems to be a subtle distinction.
What's ironic about this is that liberals have been calling people like Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell "house Negroes" for some years now. Maybe the Left needs a new aphorism: "One man's terrorist is another man's liberal.

Another great example of the anti religion anti God feeling of the Democrats.
On his November 10 Huffington Post, Nicholas Graham and nearly every commenter thereafter, purposefully distorted what Governor Palin said about prayer and the 2012 presidential race. The universal misconstruction of Palin's comments was that she was "praying to become president" in 2012 and that somehow God was speaking directly to her. But reality is she did not say that at all.
Graham offhandedly claimed that Palin said that she was waiting "for a sign from God" as to whether she would run in 2012. Further distorting her comments, he claimed she was "confident God would show the way to the White House." But, once again, she said neither of these things. In fact, what she actually said is rhetoric that is pretty much in accord with what even elected presidents have said at one time or another.
Unfortunately, we have arrived at a time when the default position for Democrats as a party is to despise religion even if individually they consider themselves religious. They consider any expression of religious sentiment whatsoever to be an example of "extremism," and "bigotry" against others. Well, at least the second any Republican expresses a religious sentiment, that is. When anyone from their side does it, they wink, nod and assume that their politician is just lying and merely trying to get elected and doesn't really mean it -- which is still an expression of a hatred for religion when all is said and done.
