Farrakhan: Kerry getting 'free ride'


CHICAGO, March 1 (UPI) -- Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan says blacks are giving Sen. John Kerry a free ride because they are so disgusted with President George W. Bush.

Farrakhan told the group's annual Saviours' Day meeting that even if Bush is defeated in November "getting John Kerry ... will mean you'll get more of the same."

"Black people are so angry with President Bush that they're willing to give Sen. Kerry a free ride," said the fiery 70-year-old Farrakhan.

3. blacks aren't giving Kerry a free ride
but the media is. Where is the same level of scrutiny of this front runner that Howard Dean endured for months on end?

They aren't really doing the anal probe like they did on Dean.



*Farrakhan should go back to his profound and deeply meaningful work of moderating the feud between Ja Rule and 50 Cent.:eyes:

9. "months on end"???
It was about two weeks. It only seemed like months to you.

I knew some of the Dean supporters were out of touch with reality, but I thought they knew how to tell time.

5. Oh I guess Farrakhan would rather
give Bu$h a free ride? Where has he been the last 4 years? Has he not seen what bu$h and his criminal thugs are doing and getting away with it? Paleeeeeeeze!!!! :eyes:

24. good call, blm
no idea about the source:

April 27, 1998
Louis Farrakhan Meets With Rev. Moon In Korea

February 10, 1998 Stopping in Korea, the 25th country visited by Farrakhan on his World Friendship Tour, it was reported that a series of meetings took place between Moon and Farrakhan. Farrakhan declared that "Rev. Moon has become immortal" because of having founded numerous institutions and projects. Moon's standby group of good will agents, The Little Angels, a Moon sponsored children's dance troupe, performed for Farrakhan at Sun Moon University. Farrakhan also hinted at closer business ties between Moon and The Nation of Islam through Moon's fishing enterprises.

26. The Million Family March in DC was funded by Moon
Edited on Mon Mar-01-04 07:32 PM by blm
and Farrakhan and Moon had a mass wedding there.

It was disgusting.

Farrakhan is really a right wingnut, and he has been shilling for Moon for years now. Remember, Moon wants to UNIFY all religions under him.

18. Is this the same Farrakhan who was treated to a "free ride" on a UFO?
He claimed he took a trip with them a few years back. Today he wants to be taken seriously. :shrug:

20. it's sad...
...that anyone cares what Louis thinks or says. Or that it would ever be included in our discussions. What's next? Manson thinks Kerry is weak on the environment?

for his designs on a piece of that pie for his Nation of Islam.

31. gee, didn't Sharpton talk about this back in the summer ?
