Slip of Obama's tongue?

"Israel is a ally of ours, its the most important ally we have in the region, and there is no doubt that we would act forcefully and appropriately on any attack against Iran, nuclear or otherwise. So, but, it is important that we use language that sends a signal to the world community, that we're shifting from the sort of cowboy diplomacy, or lack of diplomacy, that we've seen under George Bush." (Barack Obama, Meet the Press, Sunday, May 4, 2008) {I just love how Tim Russert does not blink}

December 1997: "'If the United Nations fails to respond to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (meeting in Tehran) then the Muslim world must act and defy these sanctions,' Farrakhan told an audience of union representatives in the Iraqi capital." (Louis Farrakhan) South News Dec 12 1997

September, 16th, 2001: "Whenever a nation becomes great and powerful by God’s Permission, as America has; whenever a nation becomes the undisputed ruler of the world, as America has, by Allah’s Permission; when a nation becomes the only remaining superpower, having the power to destroy other nations and people by the tens of thousands and millions, as Allah has permitted America the power to do, and that nation then has a spiritual lapse and begins to sink into moral decline, the Qur’an teaches that Allah (God) raises a messenger, but he raises that messenger from among the poor and the abject to guide and to warn the great and the powerful.

Allah (God) knows that the powerful will not heed a warning coming from their ex-slave or from the weak or from the abject, so the Qur’an teaches that Allah (God) then seizes that nation with distress and affliction, that it might humble itself. For only in humility can the proud and the powerful heed the Guidance of God, which is mercy and grace from Himself. Allah (God) used this tragedy, hopefully, to bring a great nation to Himself." (Louis Farrakhan)
Response to 9/11 Attacks

"Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the 'hope of the entire world' that the U.S. will change for the better."
Farrakhan Praises Obama as ‘Hope of Entire World’ - America’s Election HQ

What does Loopy Louis speech have to do with Obama?

Or, are you one of those "Interesting" people that make some sort of link between the two for unknown reasons.

Exactly. If this is any measure of the candidates, then McCain is certifiably crazy.

Leftwing "look at what McCain does" responses hardley address the issue of Obama himself now do they?

Predictably, that is why I included the "Loopy Louis speech."

When I first quoted Farrakhan's 911 response, right after it was given, the very first words out of a host of "liberal" mouths was "Pat Robertson."

Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, views on September 11-Truth!

There was no comparison between the raising of "messengers," which Farrakhan was talking about, and the loopy "God's Will" letting something happen to us because of our sins.

I was paying attention to Farrakhan after 911, because of this question I asked a Muslim just prior to 911:

Here are some quotes that although taken from different areas kind of need some explanation. Who exactly qualifies as a messenger?

“[3.86] How shall Allah guide a people who
disbelieved after their believing and (after)
they had borne witness that the Apostle was
true and clear arguments had come to them;
and Allah does not guide the unjust people.
[3.87] (As for) these, their reward is that upon
them is the curse of Allah and the angels and
of men, all together.
[3.88] Abiding in it; their chastisement shall
not be lightened nor shall they be respited.”

“[6.48] And We send not messengers but as
announcers of good news and givers of
warning, then whoever believes and acts
aright, they shall have no fear, nor shall they
grieve.”

“[6.49] And (as for) those who reject Our
communications, chastisement shall afflict
them because they transgressed.”

“[7.36] And (as for) those who reject Our
communications and turn away from them
haughtily these are the inmates of the fire they
shall abide in it.
[7.37] Who is then more unjust than he who
forges a lie against Allah or rejects His
communications? (As for) those, their portion
of the Book shall reach them, until when Our
messengers come to them causing them to
die, they shall say: Where is that which you
used to call upon besides Allah? They would
say: They are gone away from us; and they
shall bear witness against themselves that
they were unbelievers”

“[22.75] Allah chooses messengers from
among the angels and from among the men;
surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing.”

It just looks to me like chastisement, and death for nonbelievers here on earth is what is being advocated. If I am interpreting this correctly, that’s not nice. These could easy be misinterpreted, it that is what I am doing but I really don’t think so, to justify terrorist fanatics.

I was neither at Farrakhan's march, nor at the church whose minister world toured the tyrant ruled nations that hate us. Those are links, whether one dismisses the associations or not. The question by Tim Russert as to why it took so long to distance himself from the minister, had to be asked, because of the links.

It does nobody any good to just dismiss these things, the "Gook" thing either, and to assume no secret societies or ambitions exist. It does not mean one must adopt a paranoid Tuskegee position, assuming all government is bad; government is made by we the people, so it is not inherently bad. Government can only be as good as our questioning of the candidates.

There will be lots of things we do not see.

There is no question in my mind that Obama like his good friend and mentor the racist preacher is no friend of Israel and that the Muslims in the ME are praying every day for Obama to be elected president........

Make no mistake about it if Obama is elected there will be dancing in the streets of all the Muslim countries in the Mid East.........

Does Loopy Louis' speech have any secret numbers in it? If so, someone needs to decipher them.

I wish you people would get your GOP talking points in order.....Is Obama a crazy wacko Christian or some radical muslim? I think this week it is crazy wacko Christian because the Muslim talking point never really gained any traction. Since its a new week....you might want to see if they are still on the crazy wacko christian point....or maybe they've decided that that one isn't working to well either.
