Louis Abdul Farrakhan, original name Louis Eugene Walcott
Black Muslim leader. Born Louis Eugene Walcott on May 11, 1933 in the Bronx, New York. He grew up in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and was converted to the Nation of Islam by Malcolm X. Following Malcolm X's defection (1963–4), Farrakhan became the national representative for Elijah Muhammad.
When Elijah Muhammad's son allowed whites to join the movement (after 1975), Farrakhan split away and formed a revitalized movement, Final Call to the Nation of Islam. An eloquent and persuasive speaker, he continued to work for black separatism and black economic power. Although he denied being anti-white or anti-Semitic, he often employed an abrasive rhetoric that alienated such groups, as when he made derogatory statements about Jews during the 1984 presidential primaries on behalf of Reverend Jesse Jackson.
In the 1990s, however, Farrakhan began to soften his message and image and, reviving a talent he had as a young man, even began to play the violin in classical concerts to show that he was not totally opposed to whites and their culture.In 1995, along with other prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Barack Obama, Farrakhan helped lead the Million Man March on Washington. A second march, called the Millions More Movement, took place in 2005.

LOL LOL LOL LOL ha ha ha
Ill bet the Irritible Powell Syndrome was involved with it as well....after all, he wants to incorporate more Moslems into America...........

I have this sick feeling just like I did watching the OJ trial.
No matter what evidence was presented, they still found OJ not guilty.
No matter what is found out about Obama, he’ll still be voted in.
It’s a sick feeling.
Are people really that stupid to not see a connection here to a greater scheme?
Is this a trick question?
Is there not a radical black, or white for that matter, that Hussein is not, or has not, been associated with???
Hey Dims? Realize what you are trying to put in the Oval Office??
Agreed.

I’ve got a feeling that a few months after hussein is elected theres going to be another march on D.C. and its going to be in the tens of millions and armed. BEFORE they attempt to take them away.
Let’s see, a add quoting Farrakhan’s book about Obama helping organize the march then his quote about Judaism bing a gutter religion. Some group needs to make it happen.
I agree!
Lol. I guess it was rhetorical.
Tex,
Don’t you mean the “NOT QUITE a Million” Man March?

Nancy and the Dems are under the illulsion that they can “control” and manipulate Obama once he’s in - working together. The Dems in Congress are like the silly woman who thinks she can “interact” with a grizzly bear because she’s special. Then one day, the bear goes berserk and attacks and eats and digests her.
I think they rounded up. Heh, heh.
“Hey Dims? Realize what you are trying to put in the Oval Office??”
Of course they do.
Think of the MONEY behind this and where it has to come from. Then, imagine who’ll be knocked off in the first wave if 0bomber is elected.
Just really think about it. Blowjob was chump change.
Reminds me of a lot of good jokes.
