Minister Louis Farrakhan was in Charlotte Monday to rally support for his Millions More March. However, he did have some choice words about the response to Hurricane Katrina victims some of whom are staying at the Charlotte Coliseum.

Farrakhan's been traveling across the country to visit shelters like the one that is set up at the coliseum. He said he's not happy with the job the American Red Cross is doing.

He had harsh words for FEMA too. But that was just the warm up. Farrakhan also shared his thoughts on how the levee breached in the first place.

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry," Farrakhan said.

I first heard about this from the Paul Harvey Newscast this morning which, citing the fact that the crater would have been under 20 feet of rushing water, asked the question: "I wonder if Mr. Farrakhan's 'reliable source' is still dating Lois Lane?"

And, I don't know who would be loonier, Farrakhan for saying this, or the naive idiots that are going to believe him.

[dfwgator]

Louis went off the deep end years ago and has just stayed there the whole time.

[BenLurkin]

I'd still like to now if it was his FOI thugs who were shooting at the contractors and rescue workers.

Million$ More March, huh? No kidding. Another attempt at extortion by the race hustlers and poverty pimps. Crawl back in your hole, Calypso Louie.

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry,"

Must have been the same reliable source who reported that blacks had resorted to cannabalism in order to survive. The sad thing is - there is a small population in America who believe this crap.

[clearlight]

Hilarious. This bit of psychotic thinking goes well with the view spread through the black community by guys like Farrakhan that the CIA invented crack and AIDS, then introduced them to inner cities.

The sad thing is - there is a small population in America who believe this crap.

The Democrat Party isn't all that small!

"And, I don't know who would be loonier, Farrakhan for saying this, or the naive idiots that are going to believe him."

It is a tossup. Not only are they racial hustlers, but also bigots and antisemites on the level of David Duke and his ilk.

[JimDingle]

I am surprised it was wasn't a 19 foot deep crater. (I think he is obsessed with that number)

[yldstrk]

Minister of what?

[najida]

What a wackaloon...
But I wonder if his source is dating Mary Sheehan's source?

[sport]

They probably were.

[FearlessFreep]

This POS belongs in a 25' crater.

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry," Farrakhan said.

Yeah, Calypso Louie!.....it might have been done by your ISLAMIC brethren in the mideast....why do you think they did that?????

[poobear]

"And, I don't know who would be loonier, Farrakhan for saying this, or the naive idiots that are going to believe him."

Hands down the naive idiots.

[WasDougsLamb]

He said he's not happy with the job the American Red Cross is doing.


Who gives a rats ass if he is not happy?

DO IT ALL BY YOURSELF THEN YOU UNGRATEFUL SOB!

[griswold3]

First it started out as a report by an elderly survivor that a grain barge broke the levy. Then a Cincy Sheehan supporter (Ann something or other) said the barge was filled with explosives and set off to save the white part of town. Now we have Farrakhan perpetuating this "urban legend". Great.
Why weren't the "black leaders" in NEW ORLEANS helping by (my number one priority) opening the lines of communication instead of grandstanding in Baton Rouge? That's where the leadership was needed!!

[ArrogantBustard]

Calypso Louie's "reliable source" was piloting this:

[not2worry]

Just pray he isn't there to recruit for his anti-USA organization, the Brother of Islam or whatever they call it these days.

Surprised Jermaine Jackson and the "gloved one" wasn't with him to draw more MSM.

[Conspiracy Guy]

He is lying. The crater is 30 feet deep.
