    Another Reason to Vote for Obama

    Now that is one heck of an endorsement.  I'm sure Obama is thrilled to have him in his corner.

    Is that how people choose which candidate to support? By who else supports them? Because I like to vote for someone whose platform I agree with, not because someone else supports them. Interesting reason to pick a candidate, though...

    I would imagine B. Hussein is somewhat short of delighted with this endorsement.  If Farrakhan really wanted to help him, you would have thought he would either keep his mouth shut or endorse Clinton.

    This was my favorite part of the story:

    "Said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton: "Sen. Obama has been clear in his objections to Minister Farrakhan's past pronouncements and has not solicited the minister's support.""

    I'm sure all candidates have endorsements of people they themselves disagree with. What's not clear to me is why someone would base their vote on who a candidate's other supporters were... or were not, rather than the actual platform. But to each his own.

    It's not clear to me either, however, the fact that people apparently do that is why candidates solicit and generally appreciate endorsements.

    You know what I have to say about that first picture in the post above me? Good for Barack Hussein Obama. Good for him for embracing other cultures. For not shying away from something that is NOT SHAMEFUL, for not being fearful of how people like these would interpret his acceptance of the customs of the people with whom he is visiting. Good for Barack Hussein Obama for reaching out to those in Africa, for visiting the continent, the country of Kenya, now suffering from civil war, for not forgetting an entire continent.

    I cannot stand this "B. Hussein" business, people being ridiculed for their religious beliefs, or those that the public believes to be religious beliefs. It saddens and sickens me, it really does.

    In fact, thank you for posting that, now Barack Hussein Obama definitely has my vote.

    Some of Mr Farrakhan's  and his chief spokesman Khallid Abdul Muhammad's comments for your enjoyment:

    He said that Obama is the “hope of the entire world”

    "We didn't ask you [Jews] to apologise for helping put our fathers into slavery," he said. "We didn't ask you to apologise for Stepin Fetchit and for giving us Aunt Jemima roles in Hollywood. You have the power but you don't have the power of the god I represent... He'll smash you in the twinkle of an eye... If you're angry and pained because our [black] people in Atlanta have accepted us, get over it."

    "Here come the Jews [sic] don't like Farrakhan, so they call me a Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He wasn't great for me as a black person, but he was a great German. He rose [sic] Germany up from nothing. Well, in a sense you could say there's similarity in that we are rising our people up from nothing."

    "never have any peace because there can be no peace structured on injustice, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your gutter religion under his holy and righteous name.... The presence of a state called Israel," he said, "is an outlaw act."

    Farrakhan told his audiences that Jews were responsible for slavery, that they were "sucking the blood of our poor people that [they] might live well," that "Anti-black Jewish schemes [kept] blacks from moving on up," that "Jewish shopkeepers and landlords... swarmed the ghetto to prey upon our people ... like vultures."

     "Farrakhan has a controversy with the Jews. Jesus was hated by the Jews. Farrakhan is hated by the Jews. Jesus was scourged by Jews in their temple. Farrakhan is scourged by Jews in their synagogue.... They called him a devil. They call me a devil.... The Jews talked about "never again." I am your last chance too, Jews. I am your last chance. Listen Jews. This little black boy is your last chance because the Scriptures charge your people with killing the prophets of God. I am not one of the prophets of God. But if you rise up to try to kill me, then Allah promises you that he will bring on this generation the blood of the righteous. All of you will be killed outright. You cannot say "never again" to God, because when He puts you in the oven, "never again" don't mean a thing."

    on Jews  "We've been loyal to you. We've cleaned your floors, and when you asked us, 'And you do windows, don't you?' we said 'Yes'. We left our homes uncleaned to clean yours. We left our children unkempt to clean yours. We give you our talent. You manage us. You get the money. We get the fame and then end up on drugs with no money. You are our managers, you are our agents. You run the institutions quietly behind the scenes."

    "We have no hope that we can effect true reconciliation between blacks and whites in this country . . . the answer ultimately is going to be separation."

    "[T]he old no-good Pope-you know that cracker, somebody need to raise that dress up and see what's really under there. Jesus was right; you're nothing but liars. The book of Revelations is right; you're from the Synagogue of Satan.

    "Who is it sucking our blood in the black community? A white imposter Arab and a white imposter Jew. "Yesou call yourself Mr. Rubenstein, Mr. Goldstein, Mr. Silverstein. Because you been stealing rubies and gold and silver all over the earth. That's [why] we can't even wear a ring or a bracelet or a necklace without calling it JEWelery.... You're the rogue that's stealing all over the face of the planet earth. You don't have a home nowhere. No-good ***.

    "Everybody always talk about Hitler exterminating six million Jews. But don't nobody ever ask, 'What did they do to Hitler? What did they do to them folks?'

    "Wilted Flowerhen we gain enough power from God Almighty to take our freedom and independence [in South Africa], we give [whites] 24 hours to get out of town by sundown. That's all. If he don't get out of town before sundown, we kill everything white that ain't right that's in sight in South Africa. We kill the women. We kill the children. We kill the babies. We kill the blind. We kill the cripples. We kill them all. We kill the faggot; we kill the ***. We kill 'em all.

    "You say why kill the babies in South Africa? Because they're gonna grow up one day to oppress our babies, so we kill the babies. Why kill the women? Because they lay on their back. They are the military or the army's manufacturing centre. They lay on their back and the reinforcements roll out from between their legs. So we kill the women too.

    "You gonna kill the elders too? Kill the old ones, too. Goddamnit if they have a wheelchair, push em off a cliff in Cape Town. How the hell you think they got old? They got old oppressing black people. I say kill the blind; kill the cripple; kill the crazy, goddamnit, and when you get through killing them all, go to the goddamn graveyard and dig up the grave and kill em a-goddamn gain, cause they didn't die hard enough."

    "Was Malcolm your traitor or was he ours?" Farrakhan asks. "And if we dealt with him like a nation deals with a traitor, what the hell business is it of yours? You just shut your mouth and stay out of it-because pretty soon we're going to become a nation, and a nation's got to be able to deal with traitors and cutthroats and turncoats ... there are certain paths you don't cross!"

    "You can quote me: God will destroy America by the hands of Muslims.... God will not give Japan or Europe the honour of bringing down the United States; this is an honour God will bestow upon Muslims."

     Somehow I do not see his endorsement of Obama as a good thing for the Obama campaign. It may even turn out to be a death sentance for his campaign.

    I'm voting for McCain because the NY Times thinks he has a girlfriend.
