The image of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pregnant with a monkey inside her will be among the topics discussed on the Fox News Channel's "DaySide" program today.

Aaron Klein, the Jerusalem bureau chief for WorldNetDaily who broke the story, will join Fox co-hosts Juliet Huddy and Mike Jerrick during the show, which is broadcast at 1 p.m. Eastern Time.

WND reported media outlets controlled by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party recently have been using racist rhetoric in their reports, referring to the American representative as the "black woman," "raven," "colored dark skinned black lady" and "black spinster."

According to a translation by Palestinian Media Watch, the PA daily Al Hayat Al Jadida detailed Wednesday's Ramallah protests in which Rice was described as a "raven" who "brings only destruction."

Al Hayat Al Jadida featured pictures of ralliers brandishing anti-Rice placards, some reading, "Murderer Rice go to Hell" and "Get out." One placard had Rice drinking the blood of dead babies and stating, "I need more blood."

A cartoon last week in the PA controlled Al Quds depicted Rice pregnant with a monkey. A caption read, "Rice speaks about birth of new Middle East."

In a previous article by Al Hayat Al Jadida, Rice is described three times as the "black woman," and her father, who was an ordained Presbyterian minister, was called the "black clergyman [who filled Rice's head with Bible stories]." The article warned, "Beware of this 'black spinster,' we don't want to say 'the black widow' out of respect for her femininity and her intelligence."

After WND initially published the story Monday morning, it received prominent attention that night on "The O'Reilly Factor."

I had heard about that cartoon....

Uh, so when do we start rioting?

[Political Junkie Too]

That cartoon can have interesting domestic political ramifications if people are daring enough to exploit it.

On the one hand, it is of the same infammatory nature as the Mohammed cartoons that caused riots and deaths in Europe. On the other hand, Americans are not known to riot because of a cartoon, which sets Americans apart from other cultures.

On another hand, the racist nature of equating African-Americans with monkeys is the main agit-prop. I don't know what Hezbollah was thinking by using this imagery, but I can only assume that it was meant to undermine Secretary Of State Rice and inflame underclass sentiment in the United States during the campaign season. To Hezbollah, there is the double-meaning of Jews and apes, too. Surely they must know that African-Americans vote for Democrats at greater than 90%, and with the upcoming mid-term elections they might have tried to enrage blacks to reject the Administration's push for war on terrorism (the monkey baby) and support Democrats, they way that the "Arab Street" gets enraged on-command and takes to the streets to support Islamic positions. On the other other hand, this could wake up Americans of all persuasions to recognize the attempted manipulations and reinforce their support for Israel against Hezbollah, and by extension, the war on terror.

And then there is the timing of this cartoon and the huge poster of Rice with fangs and droplets of blood on her lips, with the Qana 2 text over it.

I knew that sending a female SecState over to the area would make the muzzies heads explode.

The muzzies have the psycho-sexual development of 13 year olds and it eats at their guts to have a woman in a powerful position. Possibly a powerful position that can affect them.
