I see lots of upside to Al-Qaeda’s use of a racial slur to demean President-elect Barack Obama [1]. Perhaps these racial slurs will wake up some of those rabid Palinites who thought that Barack Obama was doing the bidding of Al-Qaeda all along.
Consider, also, that many conservatives are xenophobically patriotic. When Al-Qaeda craps on our new President, then, many conservatives might feel patriotism welling up inside of them in a way that causes them to close ranks to protect their new leader: “How dare they taunt MY President. If Obama is the enemy of my enemy, perhaps he is actually my friend.”
