After Louis Farrakhan's latest rant can there be any doubt about Obama's political and religious persuasion?

Direct Quote:





"This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better," he said. "This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama's audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed."


Farrakhan compared Obama to the religion's founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and black father.


"A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he told the crowd of mostly followers. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."

A "direct quote" without a source. Very convenient. The last time I checked, even Louis Farrakhan had freedom of speech and what he says/ does has nothing to do with Barack Obama.





VOTE AGAINST the politics of FEAR and HATRED!


VOTE FOR the politics of HOPE and UNITY!!


VOTE DEMOCRAT in '08!!


VOTE OBAMA!!
Reply:What does what Farrakhan says have to do with what Obama thinks.
Reply:The quote shows that one more person sees Obama as their savior! This is very concerning. The man is running for president, yet his followers see him as a deity.





We all know what happens when human beings are put on pedestals don't we?
Reply:Good quote. With friends like that you don't need enemies
Reply:I have come across some of the articles with these stories. I can't say whether Obama may not know what he has gotten himself into, or he doesn't care what image he is projecting.


Some of the beliefs of this church are questionable.


But voters have to vote by what they know about the candidates, and not because of race, gender, or religion.


I don't support any of the current candidates, I'm doing a write-in.
Reply:Yes, there's plenty of doubt, because there's no proof that he is muslim.





Obama as a Muslim:





This is like a dog chasing its tail. This has been gone over time and time and time again.





Obama is not a Muslim.

Obama makes the thing about the National Anthem quite clear...


BEGIN QUOTE


"This was not during the pledge of allegiance," Obama said of the picture taken at Senator Tom Harkin's,


D-Iowa, annual steak fry and first published by Time. "A woman was singing the


Star Spangled Banner when that picture was taken.





"'I was taught by my grandfather that you put your hand over your heart during the pledge, but during the Star Spangled Banner, you sing!' Obama said."

Regarding Obama "swearing in" on the Koran--wrong.

It was Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison, not Obama.





And in fact, congressmen don't swear on any religious text. They just raise their right hand. Some carry religious texts with them.
Reply:I am sure that if Obama gets the nomination the KKK, Aryan nation, and other white supremicists will "endorse" McCain. Would that make him a racist by association, too?
Reply:I love it how you didn't inject any opinions in there, and still Obama supporters come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with it and proceed to insult you.





All you did was quote it, and automatically they go nuts. They see it, but they deny it. its almost as if they are fighting themselves. The weirdest thing ever.





To answer your question, sure there is doubt, otherwise people wouldn't be asking the question. That is what the real issue is. Why is it that half of america doesn't believe this person, and what does that say about him "bringing us together". Don't know, guess time will be the judge.





What you also, need to ask yourself, is why this person made this quote all of sudden, when everyone is questioning his abilities on Foreign relations. Its almost as if someone asked him to come out in support of Obama, so everyone can say, see he is already on their good side, this is proof that he will do a good job. Sends shivers down my spine.
Reply:Now that's scary.
Reply:and you find this to be threatening because you don't consider yourself part of the world or just don't like people who aren't white?
Reply:farrakhan would support an ebony tree if it could run. with him, anything black is good, white is bad. period.
Reply:Obama has no control over anyone saying anything about him.





Plus, I fail to see the harm in this quote.





Obama does unite many colors, ages, economic status and so on.





So, using this argument, we should elect a Jewish man who now believes in Jesus, since Jesus's parents were Jews as was Jesus.
Reply:He is a democrat and belongs to a Christian church. This is Farrakhan talking to his relatively small flock of supporters. White people stopped being of scared of Farrakhan in the 90s, get over it.
Reply:That is what Farrakhan said, not Obama.


I fail to see how this "proves" what Obama believes. Farrakhan is free to say, at least as an individual, what he wants about the various Presidential candidates.
