Media Ignore Farrakhan's Endorsement of Obama

oct 1 2008 Imagine the media frenzy that would ensue if David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan endorsed John McCain for president. Yet Louis Farrakhan’s endorsement of Barack Obama has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media.

Speaking to a convention of the Nation of Islam, Farrakhan not only declared his support for Obama, but also told his followers that Obama was the “Messiah.”

“You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth,” Farrakhan said. “And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn’t care anything about. That’s a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.”

Yup and Obama never distanced himself from it or La Raza. Meanwhile the left wing is claiming Trump supports the clan cause they support him.

Or the New Black Panthers, La Raza, CAIR and the list goes on and on for racist groups that supported Obama.

Oh here's a good'un: Obama Denounces Farrakhan Endorsement -- WSJ

 

[RandallFlagg]

In 2008, white folks were "scared shitless" of Obama so they fawned all over his ass. It would have been funny if it weren't so dangerous. So, when the black racist Farakhan endorsed Obama - few had the guts to call him on it.

AH. First it was "censored", now it's "waaah, it was never the lead story".

Fuck you, asswipe. It wasn't a "lead" story because only race-baiters like you follow that shit.

Guess what Nimrod: Davey Dukey's not a "lead story" either.

If memory serves it lead on the "today" show this morning. Maybe it was the second story they covered but they talked a lot about it. Had trump on the phone and were grilling him about it.

 

[WildBillKelsoe]

What?!? Obama wasn't forced to publically disavow Farrakhans endorsement?

​

First it was "waaah, the press 'censored' it!".

Then it was "waaah, the press didn't make it the lead story!"

Next it'll be "waaah, the press didn't come knock on my door and tell me personally using split infinitives!"

You're a loser.

[ClosedCaption]

So you're sayin Farrakhan is like the KKK?

Ohhh, nice fail. You're working really hard to defend not denoucing KKK endorsements by not defend it

That’s a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.”

The media didn't ignore Obama's denunciation of it. They couldn't, because he did so in a debate:

"Sen. Barack Obama denounced the recent support for his candidacy expressed Sunday by controversial minister and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

“I have been very clear in my denunciation” of Farrakhan’s history of anti-Semitic remarks, Obama said at the Democratic debate in Cleveland, “I did not solicit his support.” Obama said he “can not censor” individual endorsements but said there is no affiliation with his campaign and Farrakhan.'

Read it weep, Adolph.
