Farrakhan Is Still Kicking (and screaming) {June 2, 2011 , 9:31 PM}


In another fevered tirade on May 28 Louis Farrakhan splished and splashed his foam around a podium at the American Clergy Leadership Conference.

He calls Barack Obama an "assassin," for his decision to involve the US in NATO's campaign against the wrinkled and bloodthirsty Colonel.
And here's my brother, calling for the assassination of brother Moammar Qaddafi—what has he done? I can defend that man! You don't know that man!
Amid the list of things that the Brother Leader has done: In the mid-eighties Qaddafi gave the Nation of Islam, then under the full guardianship of Minister Farrakhan, $5 million to support the neo-fascist outfit based in Chicago. He was kind enough to receive the minister and his guest, Jeremiah Wright, at his al-Baida palace in 1984. In 1996 the colonel honored Farrakhan with the once laughably and now just disgustingly titled "Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights."

Farrakhan impels us to see that Gaddafi has been framed up: "Check the record," he says. Go to it, dear reader. A few months ago Sean Hannity worked out a genius theory that Obama would never attack the colonel because his old pastor Wright was such a dear friend of the man. Farrakhan only wishes that the President had such loyalties. "We voted for our brother," Farrakhan says. But I spy just another rhetorical flair; as early as last year, Farrakhan called Obama "the first Jewish president." I sense niether brotherhood nor unity here.

He spoke in Christian terms throughout, as it was a room full of clergymen. Luckily Farrakhan's brand is quite easy to filter through in any theological vernacular.

All in all, it was another great day for inter-faith dialogue.
