Imagine the media frenzy that would ensue if David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan endorsed John McCain for president. Yet Louis Farrakhan's endorsement of Barack Obama has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media.

Speaking to a convention of the Nation of Islam, Farrakhan not only declared his support for Obama, but also told his followers that Obama was the "Messiah."

"You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth," Farrakhan said. "And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn't care anything about. That's a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking."

Farrakhan compared Obama to Nation of Islam founder Wallace D. Fard Muhammad, whom Farrakhan says also had a white mother and black father.

"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," Farrakhan said. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."

Incredibly, only Fox News and a few other news outlets have run Farrakhan's endorsement. Farrakhan made the statement last February, but it only recently appeared on YouTube.

While Obama has no control over who endorses him, the nature of those who express affinity with him provides insight into who he is and what his agenda could be. Obama's endorsers and supporters range from admitted terrorist William Ayers and Weatherman Underground leader Bernardine Dohrn to Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, the New Black Panthers, the New SDS, and a host of other radical organizations and individuals.

Among other things, the New Black Panthers favors releasing all blacks from jails throughout the world and giving blacks reparations for slavery.

Where was the outrage from the media, including Fox News, when Obama was endorsed by the most racist bigot in the United States. Where was the outrage when Obama was endorsed by other racist groups and America-hating leftists that like to go around blowing up government buildings and killing people. The outrage was no where to be found because Obama was black and if you dared criticize this fake and fraud you were called a racist. Trump's white so everything is fair game with him. Only whites can be racist in America.

Not only did they ignore it but they never badgered the kenyan about it.

That is Racist !!! (where’ the gif?)

[manc]

They ignored it like they ignore black lives matter supporting Clinton, or how Clinton had close ties with Sen Byrd, or how Gore had a family member in the KKK.

Also ignored is how the KKK is a Dem party, the same party which stood for slavery, and segregation.

The CPUSA also endorsed Valerie, IIRC. Little or no reporting on that either.

Good find.

Good point in relation to current election (Trump-David Duke).

Farrakhan was just another guy in the neighborhood. There were about a dozen such guys living there. Very scary neighborhood.

This anti-American has shouted "FIRE" in the crowded theater called America many times....why is this Muslim allowed to live and peddle his hate crimes!

This man maybe the reason CAIR, Farrakhan etc. are allowed to undermine America

[I want the USA back]

The media are in the business of protecting democrats and trashing normal people.

Hamas endorses Obama

“We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election.” Why? “He has a vision to change America.”
