Al Qaeda Leader's Anti-Obama Racial Slur Denounced by Black Conservatives

Washington, D.C. - Members of the Project 21 black leadership network are denouncing the racial slur made against President-elect Barack Obama by al Qaeda deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, and hope al-Zawahiri's crude action is a sobering reminder for the President-elect and his supporters about the harsh attitudes of our nation's enemies.

"While no fan of Barack Obama, I am a proud American.  I find this terrorist's remarks directed at our nation's incoming leader to be highly offensive," said Project 21 chairman Mychal Massie.

I hear a repentant al-Zawahiri has scheduled a sit-down with Al Sharpton and Don Imus early next week.
