The nation's first serious black candidate for president should be outraged that al-Qaida would try to exploit African-Americans for the terror cause. Oddly, he's not.
Osama bin Laden's deputy last week made a sinister pitch to blacks in the U.S., and Barack Obama shrugged.
Al-Qaida's Ayman al-Zawahri earlier this month courted blacks by frequently invoking Malcolm X, aka Al-Hajj Malik al-Shabazz, a past leader of the Nation of Islam.
Shamelessly, al-Zawahri encouraged blacks to join al-Qaida's holy war against the American "oppressor," and sacrifice their blood against "injustice" like the "struggler and martyr" Malcolm X.
He noted that the Muslim civil-rights leader condoned "violent" methods to help win equality for blacks, while implying that blacks today are still oppressed.
Obama could have stood up and blunted the effect of such a dastardly appeal by saying he's proof positive blacks aren't oppressed. But he didn't.
Obama also could have pointed out that hundreds of African-Americans were murdered by Muslim terrorists on 9/11, and that we are all in this battle against Islamic terrorism together. But he didn't. He stayed silent. Why?

"Obama also could have pointed out that hundreds of African-Americans were murdered by Muslim terrorists on 9/11, and that we are all in this battle against Islamic terrorism together. But he didn't. He stayed silent. Why?" It may be nothing more than he is an over ambitious piece of shit politician that merits neither respect or recognition. In any case he is dangerous.

Obama doesn’t tell people to stop treating him like a messiah, either.
You’d think he would say, “Thanks for all the adulation, but please stop. I’m a Christian and believe there was only one Messiah. “

Because he's an Arab Muslim pal of terrorists...? Yup. He is a mole. And I'm not kidding. The guy was raised to do what he's doing.

I have been thinking alot about this and how this Rev. Wright thing doesn’t seem to matter to Americans.
Now, there must hundreds, if not thousands of churches to choose from in Chicago, and he chooses THIS one; a black liberation theology church. What it is about Obama that even brought him to this type of church and what caused him to stay? The answer is he AGREES with this and with Wright.
It is frightening that he could become president. Americans (beside us) aren’t going to know what hit them, they are blind and brainwashed.

The Patriots of this country will all “take matters in our hands” on Election Day when we make sure he never darkens the door to the Oval Office.
I hope and trust that’s what you meant because anything else is against the law and is not representative of what we feel.
Oh and welcome to Free Republic.

Yep, America is so repressive that we’re close to giving the black man(well half black) reins to the most powerful nation the world has ever seen.
How dare we hold our faces in public/sar.
