CHICAGO - Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Thursday that any of his backers who also support presidential candidate Barack Obama shouldn't be dissuaded by the senator's denunciation of Farrakhan during a Democratic debate.
His statement comes after Obama was asked during Tuesday's televised debate with Democratic presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton about Farrakhan's support for the Obama campaign. Obama said he denounces Farrakhan's anti-Semitic remarks and rejects his support.
Farrakhan sent an unsolicited statement Thursday to The Associated Press that he said was meant to respond to "outrage expressed by many" over Obama's comments.
"Those who have been supporting Sen. Barack Obama should not allow what was said during the Feb. 26 presidential debate to lessen their support for his campaign. This is simply mischief making intended to hurt Mr. Obama politically."
Farrakhan later clarified that by "mischief making" he was referring to the questions posed by debate moderator Tim Russert, host of NBC's "Meet the Press."

“shouldn’t be dissuaded by the senator’s denunciation of Farrakhan during a Democratic debate.”
Farrakhan knows his buddy is a liar.
I saw him bopping around the lobby of a hotel in Providence, RI, in November of '06 and he was surrounded by guys who looked like the fruits of islam gang.
“Let’s be honest, they can be racists and we can’t.”
Okay. Honesty is the best policy.
The Obama strategy is to renounce and reject the “evil” and unify and embrace the “good”.
So he’s going to get the Muslim’s and Jews and Christians unified and embracing.
Yah.
1 Thessalonians 5:3
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
You'd think they'd be used to politicians denouncing Farrakhan.
And I promise if elected
To surrender immediately
Good one
your comment just conjured up an image of Obama in bow tie-——it fits! he would convey a perfect Nation of Islam image,
ROTFL!
