So Al Qaeda's No. 2 leader - there always seems to be an endless supply of them, somehow - aimed a racial slur at President-elect Barack Obama in a message released Wednesday, basically calling him a "house negro."

It wasn`t just Obama, however that the terrorist smeared– but also Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. Those last two names, however, will not raise the ire of anyone in the media – for being black and Republican makes that slur perfectly acceptable.

But here`s the real news: al-Zawarhri`s blast finally makes it okay for folks on the left to support the war on terror. I mean, if there`s anything as awful as bombing us, it`s being mean to Obama. Calling him names, really, is the equivalent to denigrating the image of Mohammed – something that usually leads to death threats and flags stabbed into dying director`s chests.

In my mind, Al-Qaeda has made a horrible misstep – for instead of claiming victory as the Republican Party is vanquished due to Bush-Hitler`s misdeeds, they chose to make an enemy of a man who, by all accounts, is simply adorable. They`ve done the worst thing possible: They not only kicked a puppy - they kicked our puppy.

And for that, they`re in for a whole heap of trouble. I anticipate a disappointed shake of the head by our newly appointed leader very soon.

And if you disagree with me, then you sir are worse than Hitler!
