Obama’s Farrakhan Problem
Posted by Mark Hyman on 10.16.08 @ 6:08AM
Barack Obama has a Louis Farrakhan problem and not because of his endorsement from Farrakhan. Instead, it is because of Obama’s more-than-passing association with Farrakhan and those who are close to the Nation of Islam leader.
In spite of Farrakhan’s long history as a racist, bigot and anti-Semite, Obama thought favorably enough of him to join Farrakhan’s 1995 march on Washington, D.C. Reportedly, Obama joined Reverends Jeremiah Wright and Al Sharpton in organizing the march.
Farrakhan’s bona fides as a purveyor of hate are well-documented. He called Jews “bloodsuckers,” Judaism a “gutter religion” and referred to Adolf Hitler as a “great man.” Farrakhan said, “The God who taught me calls the white man the skunk of the planet earth.”
Farrakhan promoted the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that “the AIDS epidemic is a result of doctors, especially Jewish ones, who inject the AIDS virus into blacks.” According to Farrakhan, blacks are prevented from progressing in the arts, sports, academia and politics because of Jews. “When I talk to the Jews, I am talking to a segment of that quorum that holds my people in their grip,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Farrakhan claimed that the POWER line of toiletry products he launched in the 1980s failed to succeed because of pressure from Jews. Obama blamed the failure of Farrakhan’s products on whites. In Dreams from My Father, Obama wrote “That the POWER campaign sputtered said something about the difficulty that faced any black business — the barriers to entry, the lack of finance, the leg up that your competitors possessed after having kept you out of the game for over three hundred years.”
This should not be quickly dismissed as merely guilt by association because the overall narrative is one of someone continually associating with a group of repugnant individuals. Consider Obama’s 20-year close relationship with Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a long-time Farrakhan supporter.
