Something I learned Today About Louis Farrakhan And Obama

 

I wasn’t really sure about a connection between Obama and Louis Farrakhan. (I guess I didn’t get the memo when it happen, lol.) I found out there were ties between the two in an article named The Campaign Ads That Will Defeat Obama by Edward Olshaker.

 

This what Edward said about Obama and Farrakhan and what I learned.

 

4)  Empowering Fascism: Obama Helps Organize Farrakhan's 1995 March

 

While the media is eager to help the Obama team look for flaws in Romney's record at Bain Capital during the 1990s, and similarly examined Gingrich's tenure as Speaker of the House, they have always shielded Obama's actions during that decade.

 

While Romney was at Bain, Obama helped organize and attended the 1995 Million Man March led by hate-cult leader Louis Farrakhan, the admirer of Hitler ("a very great man") and supporter of Hezb'allah terrorism who first attracted national attention when he threatened to murder Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman in 1984 -- a chilling replay of his threats against Malcolm X shortly before his assassination. In 1993, Farrakhan declared, "Was Malcolm your traitor or was he ours? And if we dealt with him like a nation deals with a traitor, what the hell business is it of yours?"

 

Obama's church was so impressed with all of this that their magazine awarded Farrakhan the Jeremiah A. Wright Trumpeter award, because he "truly epitomized greatness."

 

In dramatic contrast to Obama, there were black leaders outraged by the event that empowered Farrakhan and his message. Michael Meyers, executive director of the New York Civil Rights Coalition, was in anguish about the rally, calling it "a horrendous occurrence that hate has now gone mainstream..." When Rep. John Lewis received the 2001 Profile in Courage Award for Lifetime Achievement, the news release from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum cited his opposition to the Million Man March among his achievements as a fighter for justice and tolerance.

 

Shortly before the march, one of Farrakhan's top aides, Quannel X, fired up participants with a memorable message: "Jewish Americans, get ready. Knuckle up...because we're ready and the war is going down...All you Jews can go straight to hell." The one white person present was shoved out of the room by the audience on Quannel's orders.

 

It was because of a shared hatred of Jews that Farrakhan formed alliances with and accepted donations from a Ku Klux Klan leader, following an earlier Nation of Islam relationship with the Nazi Party. As the American Jewish Committee's Kenneth Stern reported, "Former Ku Klux Klan leader Tom Metzger -- who would later be found responsible, along with his White Aryan Resistance organization, for the brutal skinhead murder of a black Ethiopian immigrant in Portland, Oregon -- was a guest at Farrakhan's 1985 Los Angeles speech. Metzger donated $100 to Farrakhan, and the two created an alliance..." The Farrakhan-Klan coalition alarmed black and Jewish leaders alike.

 

If Romney is as squeamish as McCain was about mentioning Obama's ties to anti-Semitism and anti-white racism, why not instead question his alliance with Farrakhan by highlighting Farrakhan's partnership with violent white supremacists, and perhaps even his striking admission about Malcolm X's murder? This would truly be a curve ball the Obama team is not expecting.

 

In light of the audacious "Grand Wizard" smears already being thrown by Obama surrogates (echoing the libel of Sarah Palin for "racially tinged" denunciations of Bill Ayers), it is essential to publicize how the only presidential candidate with a link, albeit indirect, to Klansmen and the White Aryan Resistance is the Democratic nominee. 

 

You will find other juicy tidbits too by reading the article like Hillary Clinton’s warning Obama's secret promise to a Foreign Government and others.
