Farrakhan defends Gadhafi, pans US role in Libya
(AP) – 14 hours ago
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Friday that the United States lacks the moral authority to attack the forces of embattled Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi.

Some Mississippi religious and civil rights leaders previously said it was offensive that Farrakhan was selected to speak at the conference.
Farrakhan criticized President Barack Obama for joining up with the "old colonial masters" of the Western-led forces and expressed skepticism about European countries espousing humanitarian concerns, saying they "give noble motives to their wickedness."
"Do you think they had humanitarian concerns when the British mowed down the Indians in India who were peacefully protesting?" he said. "Where in the hell is humanitarian values in America when you've got over 50 million Americans living in poverty, sick and diseased, with no healthcare?"
He also alleged that Obama had backed down from pushing a Palestinian-Israeli peace accord and banning settlement-building in the West Bank, calling him "the first Jewish president." Obama is a Christian.
"He was selected before he was elected," Farrakhan said. "And the people that selected him were rich, powerful members of the Jewish community."
Local Jewish leaders this week criticized Farrakhan for distorting historical fact in order to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. The Anti-Defamation League said recently that Farrakhan's anti-Semitism is "obsessive, diabolical and unrestrained."
Farrakhan has over the years denied claims of anti-Semitism, arguing his remarks are often taken out of context and that criticism of Jews in any light automatically earns the "anti-Semite" label. The Nation of Islam has espoused black nationalism and self-reliance since it was founded in the 1930s, though in recent years it has included other groups, including Latinos and immigrants.

Reading this story now, I'm struck by this notion: The morons sitting in the audience must have been really confused. One of their icons, trashing Obama as an honorary member of the "gutter religion."
Of course, they're easily confused.
“It is true that Soros was born a Jew. And he did “select” Obama.........”

Sounds to me as if Farrakhan is going to be losing some funding and he is p!ssed.
Nobody likes Hussein.
Even his dad(s) hated him.
Farrakhan is just another punk whore for the fasle prophet........Any illness is accepted to this pustulated abomination of the human race.....

Am I the only one that thinks it is ironic and funny that we think Barry is a Muzzie and Calipso Luey thinks Barry is Jewish?
Maybe Farrahkan will become a birther. : )
