Farrakhan sings Obama’s praises
CHICAGO (AP) - In his first major public address since a cancer crisis, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the “hope of the entire world” that the U.S. will change for the better.
The 74-year-old Farrakhan, addressing an estimated crowd of 20,000 people at the annual Saviours’ Day celebration, never outrightly endorsed Obama but spent most of the nearly two-hour speech praising the Illinois senator.
“This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better,” he said. “This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama’s audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed.”
Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion’s founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.
“A black man with a white mother became a savior to us,” he told the crowd of mostly followers. “A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”
People should be taking this very seriously…
Farrakhan :”I want to be one of the flame-throwers of God, break white folks’ backs. I want to give you hell all the way to your graves. I ain’t scared to die and I’m ready to kill.”
Farrakhan :”You’re lucky you just got words out of me and I didn’t give you the bum’s rush and black-boot stomp the hell out of you.”
Farrakhan :”I love Colin Ferguson, who killed all those white folks on the Long Island train. God spoke to Colin Ferguson and said, ‘catch the train, Colin, catch the train.’”
Farrakhan : said this in South Africa: “I say give ‘em [whites] 24 hours to get out of town. If they don’t, kill everyone white in sight. Kill the men, kill the women, kill the children, kill the blind, kill the crippled. God damn it, kill them all.”
Farrakhan :”The Nation of Islam is consistently anti-American. This is why Mahmoud Abdul-Rouf would not stand during the National Anthem at Denver Nuggets’ basketball games. According to him, the United States’ flag symbolized only “oppression and tyranny.”
Just like Obama won’t put his hand on his heart during the National Anthem.
We shouldn’t forget, either, that Obama’s church bestowed an award upon Louis Farrakhan.
Farrakhan :”Everybody talks about what Hitler did to you. What did you do to Hitler?
Farrakhan :”You wonder why I call it Jew-nited Nations…Jew York City…Jew-niversity. Because you control it.”
Farrakhan :Black Muslims consider themselves in a perpetual “jihad” or holy war against the Satanic whiterace.

Farrakhan is the last person I’d want plugging me if I were running for office. Holy Cow.

When I saw Obama on that stage there with Hillary near him, I thought it very understandable Obama’d want to keep his hands over his tender parts.

LOL…Rurik too funny!

I’m a REAL Muslim now, and I never liked Farakhan and do even less now. By the way, his maternal grandmother was Jewish-and it’s a bonifide fact that Elijah Muhammed’s mama was a white woman.
Islam is not a religion of racial bull jive-and it says a lot how neither of them are Allah or even like Allah to hate their own family so much to pervert a religion for their own purposes.

That gives new meaning to the term ’self-loathing jew’, doesn’t it? Thanks for commenting, Sasha.

You are all idiots. You dont put your hand over your heart for the national anthem. You put it over your heart for the pledge of allegiance. Didnt you go to school? Obama is the only one doing the correct thing in this picture. The ignorance of Americans these days is amazing.

I come from a family full of military guys. We always put our hands over our hearts for the national anthem…probably because we follow this code:
Did you say something about someone being an idiot? Honestly, it’s getting to the point when people come here with a comment starting out with ‘you are a fool’ or ‘you are all idiots’, I’m considering the source.

Consider the source is right, my guess would be
publicly educated and never served a day in uniform.

Actually, for a minute when I started reading the moron’s rude comment… I though somebody left the lid up on the toilet and something flopped out right here on this thread!!!!
jack you are right, this clown never served, as I don’t think the military accepts people with a 2 digit IQ.

im in the military and i think its pretty messed up that a man that wants to lead our country cany even act right during the national anthem

The Obama pic with Clinton and Richardson where he’s not covering his heart is photoshopped. Old news.

LOL…whatever. You’re an idiot that’s posting a comment on an ancient post from February.
Hallooo! This is November, brain trust.
We only wish it were a photoshop…because he’s been standing right in front of the American people telling us how he feels about America the whole time he’s been pretending he’s something/someone else.
The photo, taken by Danny Frazier Wilcox for Time magazine, is authentic. An ABC News video confirms that the picture was snapped during a rendition of the national anthem. From Urban Legends.
Of course, the commie think tank Media Matters has provided other occasions when he was more acceptable and went through the motions.
But, as we watch and listen, it’s instructive to remember it doesn’t matter what it is he does or says…what matters is what lies in his heart.
