ROSEMONT, Ill. – Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that he considers Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi a friend and won't distance himself from him despite the deadly crackdown on protestors in the turbulent North Africa country.

Farrakhan didn't talk specifics about the uprisings in Libya as he spoke to thousands of followers during his Chicago-based organization's annual convention in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont.

Does not surpirse me at all, look at the source who is talking. Figures, he would still see him as a friend, don't they come from the same mindset.

This "friend" has removed $130,000,000,000 from his country. That could go a long way in improving the lives of the Libyans. Perhaps Farakan needs some better discernment when it comes to picking friends.

It does not surprise me. Farrakhan is really screwed up. I also dont get those that support him.

I'm ashamed the US Government negotiated with Gadhafi, a KNOWN sponsor of the mass murder of Americans.

Yep. But of course, everyone is forgetting about that.

This thread isn't about Gadhafi anyway. It's just a chance to slap Farrakhan around. None of these folks give a damn about what Gadhafi is doing to Libyans...and no one cares if he's Farrakhan's friend. Plus, it's a chance to do some more race-baiting.
