Weeks ago I posted that...Farrakhan

[butterfly77]

once Farrakhan,Jesse or sharpton endorsed Obama the panic would start, has it started yet? I heard a caller on Stephanie Miller this morning who sounded like she was hypervenilating. I heard this morning that Farrakhan has endorsed Obama does anyone know what he said?

1. I'm not panicked. Are you? nt

[butterfly77]

3. No. But I know that anytime someone like him...

comes out they will use it to paint a broad brush, this is right down the rightwings alley...

[babylonsister]

6. This is petty, and btw, what's the problem with JJ, or AS? They

are both Dems. Are they too black? I don't even understand your reasoning.

[butterfly77]

7. It is not my reasoning..

I don't have a problem with either of them, I agree with them on a lot of issues. I love to listen to Obama's pastor on Sunday mornings it is not me who has the problem...

8. they are---

i`m to old and it`s bad for my heart!

2. No panic. Obama disavowed Farrakhan's comments.

But I expect his opponents in both parties will try to exploit it.

4. he did not endorse.

At least by yesterday. What I heard was that he gave a speech praising Obama, but stopped short of an endorsement.

[SteppingRazor]

5. Yeah, I heard that caller too. Sounded like a total nut.

If that's the response to this (and, for what it's worth, Obama responded to the endorsement essentially by saying we didn't ask for it, he can endorse whoever he wants), I'm not worried at all.

9. Obama Praises Jeremiah Wright Praises Farrakhan Praises Obama Praises Jeremiah Wright Praises...

The Un~holy TRINITY.

I saw a story last night about the concerns the Jewish community has with Obama. Obama may try to distance himself from Farrakhan but his connection is via his Mentor and spiritual adviser, Jeremiah Wright the leader of the separatist church.

12. At this rate no one will ever get elected..

no one says anything when the rightwing and there nutcases endorse the republicon candidates all it takes is a picture on the left with someone and everyone loses their minds...

11. It doesn't matter to me...

because I know that if Obama wins, Farrakhan will not effect his doing what is right for the country. The rightwing and some of their endorsers are the ones I worry about... I asked this question a few weeks ago because, I knew as time went on one of these three would endorse Obama and then the shit would hit the fan...

[Scurrilous]

14. LOL

That's a lot of concern.

[cali]

13. lol. there's no panic, dear- except from the hillies

Obama handled the Farrakhan endorsement neatly by rejecting it. And Jesse Jackson endorsed him months ago. Sharpton hasn't endorsed him but he probably will. Face it, Obama has dismantled hilly's big fat disasterous campaign. it's over.

[butterfly77]

15. Only time will tell...

usually all that it takes is to say the name Farrakhan and everyone falls all over themselves to tell the world how terrible he is...

[cali]

16. time's aready told. Obama beat Hill

and Farrakhan endorsed yesterday morning. it doesn't seem to be a hot topic, does it. It's great to see the hillies so disappointed over it, though. I enjoy seeing the let down when Obama once again deftly avoids being smeared. too bad hill's so bad at effectively fighting back. good that she's not going to be our nominee.

17. You are so mean ,...

I have been reading a lot of your posts and you seem to know Hillary personally,your hate is so strong. Or could it be something else?
