By The Daily Dish

Al Qaeda sends out a new message:

Al-Zawahri says in an audio message, which appeared on militant Web sites Wednesday, that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X. He calls Obama a "house negro." The audio plays over still pictures of al-Zawahri, Malcolm X praying, and Obama with Jewish leaders.

Jason Zengerle snickers: "Evidently, Al-Zawahri doesn't spend a lot of time reading the conservative blog Atlas Shrugs. Otherwise he'd know that Obama is actually Malcolm X's love child."
