Just another sign that our world is upside down right now. The media and the left call Tea Party terrorists. They say Palin is dangerous. Any chance the media, hollywood, and the left get, they paint Conservatives/Christians as dangerous nut jobs. Of course they do this all for political purposes. Anytime they can, they bash people like Limbaugh and Beck, again, calling them dangerous.

Yet when you have a man, who spouts the most decisive, dangerous, hateful comments on American soil the media does not say a damn thing. Nothing! WTH is going on in this country?!?!

They are also largely ignoring the riots overseas. Riots and violence which stems around class warfare. Something that could easily move to this country soon.


Farrakhan: American Soldiers Not Fort Hood Shooter Are Terrorists - YouTube


Now I served 9 years in the Navy. Maybe his numbers are correct, maybe they arent. I dont ever recall anything from my time in the Navy that would resemble this sort of treatment of fellow servicemen/women. However, let's say they are correct, it is absolutely wrong, dangerous for him to stand there and say what he says. And its even more dispicable that our damn media doesnt say a damn thing. This same man called Obama a murderer. The media is silent.

Maybe the media is ignoring him because he is (and his opinions are) irrelevant.

Sorry, but that statement makes him relevant. Most people have heard of him. When an American with a big audience and large followers, is spreading a message such as this, it damn well should be covered by the media. A media who tried to take people to task for the silliest of things and falsehoods, yet when there is a real danger, they say nothing. Pathetic

Farrakhan is about as relevant as David Duke. Both have "followers". Both operate on the fringes. Both do not represent the attitudes and opinions of the majority.

Move on.

1. The media have not called the Tea Party terrorists.
2. The American media are not ignoring the riots.
3. Farrakhan is almost universally recognized as a clown. What he says doesn't matter to anyone but a tiny fringe.

What a dumb son of a *****. Gotta love his manufactured name... maybe from now on I'll refer to him by his birth name, Louis Walcott. Wiki says he's 78, looks like we won't have to hear his garbage much longer

Who cares what 'Calypso Louie' Walcott says?

I've scraped more intelligence off the bottom of my shoe.

Default Farrakhan superior to what the GOP represents

Say what you will about Farrakhan. He holds an infinitely superior moral position than that of the GOP, Neocons, Conservatives, Republicans, Tea Party, and anyone else who supports these bigoted ideologies. Anyone who Fights against the discrimination of black people is far more relevant and useful to this socety than regressive obstructionists.

If you Pubs are bothered by this man, this is a clear indication that what he says is closer to the truth than it is not.
