"Sen. Obama has been clear in his objections to Minister Farrakhan's past pronouncements and .....

...has not soliticed his support."

--- Obama campaign statement.



So... Hillbots.... when does Hillary denounce Ann Coulter's endorsement of her?

[Skittles]

1. oh gawd

please, just shut the f*** up

[UALRBSofL]

2. Yes, Obama seems to Distance himself from certain people

But I wont name them. Shame really. But if he wins the nominee and the GE I'm sure that will change.

[CatnHat]

14. Just another

pal from the past, who means nothing.:sarcasm: Just one more to add to the list.

[NastyRiffraff]

3. Who takes Coulter's so-called "endorsement" seriously

Nobody. Er, that is, except you.

Good god.

4. Why then does Obama go to a church that gave Farrakhan an award?

"Barack Obama is a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright's daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan."

5. Obama addressed this directly

"I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan," Obama said in the statement. "I assume that Trumpet Magazine made its own decision to honor Farrakhan based on his efforts to rehabilitate ex-offenders, but it is not a decision with which I agree."

6. Don't bother eileen.... bill won't read your response....

8. Welll if you search "obama on farrakhan"

it's the second article after his, so dammit, it's easy enough to find! :evilgrin:

[CatnHat]

20. And you believe that, just because

Obama says it so??:crazy: Obama has ties to questionable people, and his response is always the same; he constantly tries downplay his relationships with these people, like it means nothing. Well, people do think this a big deal. Just like his pal Rezko.

7. Hillary didn't solicit Ann Coulter's support, either.

She has nothing for which to apologize.

[Forkboy]

9. That's the point.

The Farrakhan guilt by association stuff is just as lame as the Coulter stuff with Hillary.

At least I think that's the point. One never knows in here. :)

[amborin]

10. but farrakhan is

an anti-semite

[Forkboy]

11. Yes he is. And?

:shrug:

[amborin]

17. so

there's on comparison with the whacko coulter and farrakhan

farrakhan is real evil, coulter simply nuts

[Forkboy]

21. Well thank God we cleared that up.

Being anti-semitic is true evil. Being homophobic and racist is nuts.

[Bluebear]

12. He did, however, solicit Donnie McClurkin and Kirbyjon Caldwell's, unfortunately.

[Behind the Aegis]

15. This is true...at least part.

Who is "Kirbyjon Caldwell" and what's his story? I am guessing it is someone anti-gay, which would explain why no one really cares. To be honest, I don't think many care that Farrakhan supports Obama (though it is not mutual), it is just another way to attack another group all together.

18. yes, and that will cost him votes big time

[donheld]

13. Thank you for posting this

To hell with the fools who are trying to make something of Farrakhan's support of Obama.

[LisaL]

16. Coultier "endorsement" was a joke.

Anyone would like an idiot denouncing it.
