Charm Of A Snake [Louis Farrakhan]
Investor's Business Daily ^ | October 15, 2005

Posted on 10/15/2005 3:33:39 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

The Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan used Hurricane Katrina to make some of his most bigoted and conspiratorial statements yet. But civil rights groups still can't bring themselves to shun him.

The NAACP, the National Urban League, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were all expected to join Farrakhan at his "Millions More Movement" march Saturday in Washington, D.C.

Far from being, as popularly believed, focused on the worthy goal of strengthening black families, Farrakhan's demonstration has an extremist agenda.

"We demand full and complete Reparations (sic) for the descendants of slaves," says its statement of purpose. The same statement also demands "freedom for all political prisoners held in U.S. prisons and detention facilities, both foreign and domestic" — an apparent reference to Arab terrorists in U.S. custody abroad.

For decades, Farrakhan has been known for his statements of hate, included his reference to Judaism as a "gutter religion."

Last week he said New Orleans levee breaks may have been "all part of a fabric" of government deceit that includes the 9-11 attacks and the 2000 election recount.

"When the government wants something, they have to justify what they want by doing something — whether it injures a hundred, whether it injures a thousand, whether it injures millions," Farrakhan said. He added that "it is the duty of government to either prove the rumor is false or prove that their suspicions are true and that somebody is . . . guilty of mass murder."

Farrakhan has discouraged donations to the American Red Cross. Why? "FEMA is too white to represent us and so is the Red Cross, so we're going to demand our place at the table," the Houston Chronicle quoted Farrakhan saying in September.

And this is a surprise to anyone? Farrakhan is a kook that needs to be ignored.

Why anyone is surprised now, I don't know.

But civil rights groups still can't bring themselves to shun him.

Because they too are leftist clowns.

He should be...but he won't. The best thing about this article is that it identified Farrakhan as a reptile. He is reptilian and his religion (Islam) is reptilian.

Powerful metaphors strike an honest chord. Louie is a snake and so is his Allah.

To Calypso Loouie's credit, he sure knows how to use a microphone.

All those race baiters to the podium, before the prime race pimp, Loouie, didn't use the sound system to advantage, as they were talking into the near speakers, before the far speakers got a chance to catch up to LeRoy in the cheap seats while he's digging in his cooler for a beer close to the Lincoln Memorial.

Calypso Loouie, used the cadence in his voice, to allow his message to reverb to the full audience, before he broke into his next phrase of hate and oppression.

Impressive idiot!

Ya know, Farrahkan, David Duke, Jesse Jackson, the Nazis, et al, need to understand that most folks, regardless of color, will only tolerate so much of this. The time will come, probably sooner, rather than later, when folks are gonna quit waiting for these kooks to allow the hatred, predjudice and bigotry to be educated out of them and just simply start eradicating it. As in most things, the moonbats control their own destiny.

It's a shame that Louie is held in such high esteem among the "Black Leadership".

------
So-called "CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS" are nothing more the cheerleading sections for gross racism and professional victimization. That is all they are about -- it amounts to continued attempts to EXTORT anything, including money, out of American society to empower a select few of these criminal racists. It is no wonder they will always vote for the radical left, the panderers to lawless, criminal, unethical extortion and political crime.

Gay Louie and his homosexual gang of thugs need to STFU.

"We demand full and complete Reparations (sic) for the descendants of slaves," Those that needed reparations got it. It's called Welfare.

That trope again? These are the same people railing against William Bennett for allegedly wanting black babies aborted. Then they turn around and want whites off the planet. The hypocrisy is too funny for words.

Did you see him and his entourage moving to the podium with his FOI/fruit of islam and NOI Blue suits with the red epaulets and the boys in the fez type hats with the star and left facing crescent? It was just like Nuremburg in 1933 and his wanting to enlist the native American movement to mix and obtain the rights to their access to land suits and other claims, also wanting to set up ministries of justice, education, arts and sciences.

This week I went to the library and checked out that same old tattered copy of Alan Bullock's Hitler: A Study in Tyranny.

Each word is carefully chosen. Each sentence is loaded with meaning.

Some things never change. We fight the same battles again and again.

I suggest the enemy is still alive. He is the one to whom Hitler sold his soul. Hitler is dead, but his boss is still alive.

But not much longer will he be active on this planet.

I watched some of his speech today. They are always good entertainment. He said that even if people say that they did not actually commit those atrocities and that their ancestors did. The people today are inheritants of the benefits of slavery. I said to my TV, "and so are you, Mr. Farakhan".

I know you'll think this is a rhetorical question---all of you, not just WCC---but have you ever listened to a FULL Farrakhan speech?

I ask this because even when the media covers him, they carefully cut away before he gets to the utterly insane garbage.

I watched one of his full sermons about 10 years ago, and he was off on his "mother ship" beaming up good little Muslims, interspersed with lots of "white devils" created by this evil magician by mutating black people (I kid you not).

A few years ago, I had to write quite a bit on Calypso Louie, and so I had to watch more recent "sermons." In one, he quite literally claimed to be Jesus Christ. You see, the real Jesus was the "historical Jesus," not the "prophetic Jesus" (that would be Louie). It was nauseating.

In all fairness, Farrakhan never made this comment:
"Judaism as a "gutter religion."

I am not a member of the NOI but when I was in college, I attended the meeting when he did this speech and it is NOT what he said. I know he's a crazy radical lib nutcase but this he never said.
