Did Farrakhan endorse Obama?

[RememberWellstone]

What does that say about who endorses who in the campaign? Hillary did not endorse McCain but.....Farrakhan did endorse Obama, what do we have with this? Just curious.

[Occam Bandage]

1. Farrakhan isn't the one running for office.

[madrchsod]

26. yes he is.....obama is his puppet

farrakhan is pulling the strings....i thought you knew that...all us obamamuslims know that...:rofl:

i`m going to go do something constructive now....:hi:

[RememberWellstone]

33. Endorsements all count?

Makes no difference who does it...Hillary did not endorse McCain, so ya'll need to stop the apparent connection.

[saracat]

2. Yes, he did.

[movonne]

21. The operative word there is" DID"...

[jakem]

3. you should either

1. be ashamed of yourself, or
2. enroll in a basic logic class at your nearest community college

[Hieronymus]

9. Good advice .. I second it.

[RememberWellstone]

35. Noted

Thanks for the guidance, I need useful people like yourself in my life identying who I am. Thanks again.

I guess I need to vote for Obama eventhough he has no executive experience? Brilliant!

[leftofcool]

4. Farakhan Shmerakhan

Yes he endorsed Obama but has about as much cred as a head of lettuce. It's a non issue, just like Clinton and Mccain

[melody]

Yes and Obama denounced the endorsement -- try again

Hillary specifically praised McCain over a fellow Democrat.

[bunnies]

45. denounced AND rejected.

Apparently the differentiation is important. :rofl:

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

5. ooooooooooo, good question.

please.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

6. If Obama endorsed Farrakhan, you might have a point.

:shrug:

[Drunken Irishman]

7. What the hell are you saying?

Your line of logic twists more than Lombard Street.

[featherman]

8. Not an endorsement... "proud of African-American" to be in

this position. Why would he not be proud? Way different from a political endorsement of the kind McCain sought from Hagee. Let's try to keep this all in perspective a little.

[FrenchieCat]

10. With that mindset, you are showing yourself to be worse than

the GOP.

Why don't we hang both Farrakhan and Obama from the nearest tree? :sarcasm:


Shame on your lowly ass!

[LostinVA]

16. Talk about a leap of "logic"

:crazy:

[doublethink]

11. Ann Coulter endorsed Hillary .....

Rush Limballs is on the radio telling people to go vote for Hillary ...... okay you used up one of your three posts in GDP today. Get the other two out there, get it off your chest. Strike one !!! Peace. :)

[durrrty libby]

12. Did you know Obama's church loves Farrakhan ? They gave him an award

[jakem]

14. ah, lllibby. what award could we all give you?!

[Forkboy]

28. ....

[Capn Sunshine]

17. Hillary's church is against the War

That didn't stop her from voting for it.

[madrchsod]

24. nah ....methodist`s are war mongers

shit look who`s the most important member of the church---mr war himself--george bush! need i say anymore?

[madrchsod]

23. yes they have regular "love-ins " each weekend!

it`s quite a sight down there in the hood.....

[CyberPieHole]

41. Hi Libby...

Obama/Jeremiah Wright/Farrakhan are an Unholy Trinity. I hope people wake up to the fact that there is a reason Farrakhan endorsed Obama.

[redstate_democrat]

42. Obama's church does not "love" Farrakhan.

I wish you guys would get the facts on a particular issue before making baseless attacks. Minister Wright's daughter runs a publication called Trumphet which is not affiliated with Obama's church. In that magazine, Farrakhan was praised for his outreach work. You can say whatever you want about his views, but the man has done positive things in the community. I don't agree with Farrakhan's views, but I concede he has done something of note. Now, Obama's pastor, Wright, has had contacts with Farrakhan. But so what? This whole guilt by association is an enormous jump in logic, as others have pointed out in other's arguments.

JUMO IN LOGIC. It's an ad hominem. Point to someone that Barack knows who happens to know someone else who holds controversial views, and then all of a sudden Barack is a member of the Nation of Islam. That is totally illogical, especially since Barack himself has denouced Farrakhan's views and even Farrakhan himself. He concedes that he does not agree with his pastor on all things, which is normal since almost no one agrees with everyone's views on all things. He attends a Christian church, many things taught in the Bible go against some of his political views. Why would this be any different?

[theoldman]

13. Endorsements don't mean a hell of a lot one way or the other.

Farrakhan is black and Obama is half black but considered a black. What do you expect?

[The Wielding Truth]

15. Yes, and Obama rejected it. Conde still works for *, What's your

point?

[butterfly77]

18. The question is..

Did Obama stand in a photograph with Farrakhan and say I accept your endorsement as McCain did with Hagee? Did McCain say he repudiated,rebuke,reject,denounce his endorsement?

[dmallind]

19. Apples and oranges

You can't control who endorses you. You can control who you endorse. That said I know HRC did not endorse McCain and I know she was simply trying to say she stacks up better in one factor against him in the GE than Obama does, but that's completely irrelevant to who endorses Obama.

I mean that would be as stupid as saying Hillary is at fault because Limbaugh and Coulter have endorsed her.

[billbuckhead]

20. You can control which church you go to and Obama's church is pro-Farrakhan

[dmallind]

27. I'm going to regret this but

you mean the decidedly Chrsitian UCC agrees with the decidedly Muslim Farrakhan? On what exactly? Their theologies are far apart. Now I'm sure there could be some innocuous context in which the church or some official of it says "Farrakhan does a good job in, say, helping black men stay out of prison" but that's about as pro-Farrakhan as me saying "Well hey the guy looks nice in a suit". You can support or acknolwedge some aspect of what X does without being "pro X".

[madrchsod]

22. yes he did-----

in fact he converted barack to a black muslim! yes i know that for a fact--i just don`t have a link right now :sarcasm:

i wonder what paul wellstone would think of you using his name when you post this crap.

[Vinca]

25. Pssst. Jack the Ripper's second cousin, twice removed, has mentioned

that if he lived in America he might support Obama. Pass it on.

[Forkboy]

29. Wellstone would be embarrassed by this simplistic moron using his name.

[mythyc]

31. this guy's been snivelling around the forum enough to reveal that

a) there's no way he doesn't know the answer to that question and therefore
b) he has an obvious ulterior motive to be lame and smearful (i hereby patent that word)

:P

[RememberWellstone]

34. Thank you

I am sure you did not know Paul and fuck you very much for the compliment though.

[Forkboy]

39. If the shoe fits. And it's fits you like Cinderella's slipper did her.

And if you knew Paul he's spinning in his grave.

[RememberWellstone]

43. Wrong

Paul was a fighter firstly and an open minded thinker. He loved the firey spirit of a debate and independant thinking...he would more abhorrant to the lemming run, Obama seems to be leading. I would bet money he would not endorse Obama but he probably would'nt endorse Hillary either. He was free thinker and probably would have voted for Kucinich.

[Scurrilous]

30. ADL leader says Obama has settled Farrakhan issue

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=4809022

[elixir]

32. It's an endorsement you don't want. Much like the questions about the NAFTA memo BO dodged..

[ecstatic]

36. Are some of you really this slow or is it just an act? nt

[ellacott]

38. I think they really are that slow

Farrakhan never endorsed Obama.

[CyberPieHole]

37. Yes he did and Farrakhan was praised by Jeremiah Wright, Obama's MENTOR...

All of this is disturbing and reason enough, for some people to NEVER vote for Obama.

[Yes We Did]

40. Yeah, and Ann Coulter endorsed Hillary. Your point?

[jeffrey_X]

44. What if the Grand Wizard of the KKK endorses Hillary?

Then what?


God this place is going to fucking hell.

[RememberWellstone]

46. She should

Immediately come out against it and denounce..not let a media talking head have to ask him 3 different ways to clarify his stance.

[jeffrey_X]

47. 3 different ways?

really?
