Louis Farrakhan The Head Of The Nation Of Islam Endorses Obama

[nevadamedic]

Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam, recently made positive statements about Obama’s candidacy. The controversial leader has made many remarks that have been deemed anti-Semitic, including calling Judaism a "gutter religion." Asked tonight if he accepted Farrakhan's endorsement, Obama denounced those statements.

Muslim's support their own, so this doesn't come as a surprise to me.

[Yurt]

old news, old hat, move on.............

[Yurt]

try being a man answering some real news:



Then explain why you repped another member and in your comment you ask for rep back so you (yourself and the other member) can rule the board?

And later the same member repped you and the comment was "shoot me some back and we will soon own the board"?

Explain that.

You expecting him maybe to endorse McCain? Is this honestly a surprise to anyone?

Obama rejects the notions of Louis Farakhan. Did you see the Dem debate on MSNBC tonight? Obama wants nothing to do with the hatred and prejudices of Farakhan or his followers. But, ya'll have fun in your ignorance anyway!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, we know that. Even Nevada who is incredible antagonistic to Obama pointed out the fact that Obama denounced Farakhan's hatred and prejudices.

Since you are agreeing with what everyone has already said, who exactly is ignorant?

What a proud patriot you are.

Do you support Farakhan or Obama? Is that a fair question?

[nevadamedic]

That's why he tripped over himself and looked like an idiot?

He did so very, very reluctantly and only after being pressed to do so. Until last night, he hadn't said a God damn word out of fear of offending Farrakhan's followers and possibly losing their votes. Not one word.

if the leader of the KKK came out and said that he thought that McCain was a great American and would be good for America, should McCain publicly announce that anyone who was a member of the KKK or was sympathetic to the KKK should NOT vote for him but vote for the democrat, instead? of course not.

How is Obama supposed to "reject" the positive comments of someone who he has previously and repeately denounced?

Yes, he should, IMO. Any candidate should distance themselves as much as possible from any semblance of racism, regardless of the consequences.

By immediately coming out and saying it again, and again, and again, until every major news outlet is reporting his unequivocal rejection.

saying it in a nationally televised debate isn't good enough?

McCain might very well condemn the KKK - as Obama has repeatedly condemned Farrakhan - and all politicians should.... but no politician is going to say "IF you belong to the KKK or sympathize with them in any way, do NOT vote for me". Won't happen. All votes taste alike and count alike.

Exactly. Everything pouring out of the candidates mouths now is bullshit.
One has to read between the lines and look way deeper to determine anything that may represent the truth about them and how they would act in the role of President. The rest is all marketing gimmicks.

[hjmick]

saying it in a nationally televised debate isn't good enough?

Again, having watched every minute of the debate last night, his rejection came across as reluctant and wishy washy, and only after he was pressed by Hillary. He avoided the word "reject" until he was pushed. In the end, I suppose it is good enough, but I would have preferred he come out on his own, not long after Farrakhan's endorsement, and said something.

I guess I'm just hardcore when it comes to racism, I would have great respect for the politician who did take this stance. I do, however, completely understand your point, though I do not like the reality.

I'm agreeing here. I think it's absurd to do that.

I also think it's absurd to think Farrakhan was going to endorse anyone else.

again..vigorously condemning Farrakhan is all he can do. What exactly is he supposed to "reject"? Farrakhan's compliments? He's condemned the guy numerous times previously.

Now, if Farrakhan had offered his support or urged his followers to work on Obama's campaign, there would be something to "reject".... until them, condemnation is really all he can do.

I hear you. Ultimately you are right. I guess I just would have liked to have heard him denounce the endorsement earlier. I felt he tacitly approved by not saying anything at all. The politician's way, I suppose. Not just him, all politicians.

[Monkeybone]

unless i missed it, he never really said that he rejected him and every thing. just that he renounced what he said about jews. nothing about the man or his racism at all. just what he publically said. and i agree with HJ, he only did it when pressured and Clinton gave the example where she rejected the endorsement from a whit activist person. not renounced what he said, but rejected the support.

atleast that is what she says.

Farrakhan didn't OFFER any support. Tough to reject what isn't there.

I think the interesting question is, what is it about Hussein Obama that a racist jerk like Farrakhan finds so appealing? He must see some commonalities of their policies and values.

So, which of Obama's values and policies appeal to the minister of racism?

actually...there is.... you go to Chicago... you walk up to his house... you knock on the door, and when he answers the door, you ask him.

That is a fairly good way, but, given the fact that I really don't CARE why Louie said something nice about Barack, I'll let you go to the Windy City and then you can report back on what he says. OK? :coffee:

For all intents and purposes mfm, I'd say hussein's denunciation of farrakhan is hollow. It's all for show. It's what he wants you white boys to believe, when in secret, farrakhan is his buddy. He needs you whiteys to vote for him, so of course he's going to put on the charade. IMO, I believe it's all a lie.

[Abbey Marie]

Please don't put words in my post. I never said that you said Farrakhan likes Obama's policies. I suggested, and quite logically at that, that if Farrakhan supports Obama, it would be interesting to know which policies and values of Obama's he identifies with. Whether you personally know the answer is irrelevant.

But since you are such an ardent Obama supporter, you might want to find out the answer. Or do you not care that Farrakhan identifies with your man? Personally, if he was my candidate, I would want to know exactly why.

he danced the dance and was let off easy by the moderators. the guy didn't even know there was a difference between "rejecting" and "denouncing." and this guy is supposed to be a harvard law grad?

further, when he finally capitulated or basically he knew hillary got em so he tried as fast as he could to sweep that under the rug, he only """denounced""" him in that well then rejection and denouncing are basically the same, THEN OK, i reject and denounce him.

it may fool most sheeple like MFM, but it doesn't pass muster for the rest of who were really listening with objective understanding, unlike those who have fallen in love with him blindly.

and why did it take him being put on the spot to do that? why not the day before? face it, he has already tacitly approved of the endorsement and by extension, the endorsor.

no. he has renounced Farrakhan's racist anti-semitic positions consistently.
And you still have not answered my question: what is he supposed to "reject" if nothing of any substance has been offered?

I'm curious. What were the exact words of his "denunciation" of Farrakhan?

And if Obama isn't a black nationalist, why does he remain a member of the Black Ku Klux Klan Church of Chicago?
