It was Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan's first major address since facing down cancer.
It was in Barack Obama's backyard—his hometown of Chicago. Farrakhan, perhaps the nation's most potent symbol of antisemitism, told a Chicago crowd of 20,000 that Obama is America's next savior.
"This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better.... 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.... A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."

Hopefully Calypso Louis keeps singing praises to Hussein Obama.
Soon enough if this keeps going all his supporters will think they are Hafraican.
The Pub nominee better make sure that this “endorsement” is made known to our Jewish friends if Obama is the Dem nominee.
“Farrakhan, perhaps the nation’s most potent symbol of antisemitism, told a Chicago crowd of 20,000 that Obama is America’s next savior.”
Birds of a Muslim feather.
Not necessary. Conservative Jews will be bombarding the Jewish community with the link to Obama’s church’s website, along with quotes from the pastor.
Blacks and Jews used to have great relations. That changed in the 1960s with the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam. These days, Blacks are the most antisemitic group of people in the country. That hasn’t stopped liberal Jews from feeling a sense of solidarity with them, due both to the role that Jews played during the civil rights movement, and the sense that Jews must stick up for any group that has been persecuted.
But it’s different when the actual candidate is Black, with questionable connections. It’s the difference between having a beer with someone, and letting them marry your daughter.
A Spry Farrakhan Sings Obama's Praises

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.
muslim is as muslim does
This is going to be a timebomb within Obamination’s campaign. Kaboom!!
I’m waiting for somebody to ask Hussein if he would ever allow Sharia in the US.
I know what you mean and Rush Limbaugh should trumpet this loudly. If it is worth anything we talked about this at work today and I know we have a few African Americans who are Obama fans and we have many who are voting for McCain. This topic of Farrakhan’s endorsement came up today and they were shell-shocked and speechless. They know that this is doom for Obama.
So, basically he’s saying that Obama is the Anti-Christ? :)
Myself, if I were Obama, I would be sayin’ “And who is this “Farrakhan” person???”
Then again, not so much Louie
The Jews in America better wake up, smell the coffee and face reality; the democrat party and it’s leading presidential candidate do not support the Jews, Israel or the war on ISLAMIC/Muslim terrorists. The truth is; their goals, policies and presidential candidates actively support Islam, Muslims and their stated goals: hatred of the Jews and the ultimate destruction of both the Jews and the nation of Israel.
Calypso Louie’s endorsement says a lot about Obama
Now Obama just needs to get the far left radicals to endorse him and McCain can waltz into the WhiteHouse
I hope that you are right and I thank you for your response.
