Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, The Black Panthers...

[PaceAdvantage]

They ALL supported Barack Obama's candidacy...and they are all considered either racist, anti-Semitic, terrorists, or all three. And yet there was NEVER any uproar over this. Hell, you had "new" Black Panther members stationed outside of POLLING PLACES on Election Day for God's sake! You had that on VIDEO.

But nobody in the press really tried to sully Obama with any of this. Yes, they pressed him a bit on Reverend Wright because Obama sat in his church all those years...but forget about Wright...what about all the other endorsements he got that never caused much controversy? Certainly nothing approaching this wave against Trump in the press over David Duke and whatnot.

Pretty funny, don't you think?

Hell, even when directly asked about it, Obama did NOT reject Farrakhan's support. He denounced his anti-Semitic rantings over the years, but he got a "chuckle" out of the crowd when he said he basically can't tell someone not to say that "Obama is a good guy."

This is hilarious stuff. If Trump ever went THAT far (and I don't think he has) in sugarcoating David Duke's support, it would be Armageddon in the press.

They pressed him on Rev. Wright largely because Hillary did her best Hannity impression during the primaries while casting all sorts of aspersions about Obama's 'true' religion. The racist bitch that she is, of course.

I'm sure every candidate for President receives endorsements that are an embarrassment. And questions about those endorsements.

Which is why it's shocking when the leading candidate for a major party nomination fumbles an easily answered question so badly.

Did Obama say he had never heard of Louis Farrakhan, The Nation of Islam, and the Black Panthers and would need to investigate them before commenting on their endorsements? Or feign a sudden inability to hear clearly questions on just that one subject?

I get that for many on here this candidate can do no wrong. Bit if this isn't something that you can say, "I like my guy but he really blew this one" about, I'd have to conclude that there is NOTHING he might say that could draw your rebuke.

If Trump comes out with a stronger condemnation of the racist endorsements he received after voting has closed in a few hours, then his Sunday statements will not have been an accident.

Guess what. It didn't work. Again.

DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE, IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS, that DONALD TRUMP is a DAVID DUKE/KKK SYMPATHIZER?

Do you REALLY believe this? You talk about lunacy when it comes to Donald Trump. The REAL lunacy is some of the shit some of you try and throw against the wall to try and make stick.

It's a damn INSULT and a true EMBARRASSMENT that there are people out there who actually think that the question "do you disavow" even has to be asked once, let alone ANSWERED A MULTITUDE of times...

I shake my head at certain people on here, the media, and a whole host of people across this country who play this game.

I think your objectivity has left town.

Wright was one huge story right around this time before the election in 2008. So big a story that Obama had to address it in a speech he made in Philly. It was a tremendous speech about race but that's not the point I'm here to make.

The point is the only way "Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, The Black Panthers..." were going to cause an"uproar" was if they supported Mitt.

Nation Of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan Joins Kkk In Praise Of Donald Trump: ‘i Like What I’m Looking At’

https://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/nation-of-islams-louis-farrakhan-joins-kkk-in-praise-of-donald-trump-i-like-what-im-looking-at/

Proving that politics does indeed make strange bedfellows, the Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan joined with the Ku Klux Klan in expressing his admiration for 2016 GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump.

In remarks during the Nation’s annual Saviours’ Day sermon in Chicago, the leader of the black separatist group praised Trump for not accepting money from the “Jewish community,” reports The Hill.

“[Trump] is the only member who has stood in front of [the] Jewish community and said, ‘I don’t want your money,’” Farrakhan told his followers.

“Anytime a man can say to those who control the politics of America, ‘I don’t want your money,’ that means you can’t control me. And they cannot afford to give up control of the presidents of the United States.” Farrakhan explained before hastening to add, ““Not that I’m for Mr. Trump, but I like what I’m looking at.”

I didn't post about this when Obama was actually running because NOBODY WAS MAKING IT AN ISSUE (minus Wright).

Now, all of a sudden, it's a HUGE ISSUE because Donald Trump with the (R) next to his name is popular.

Obama was endorsed by FAR WORSE than Reverend Wright. Again, I never made that an issue on this site when Obama was actually running.

They like to talk today about how anti-Semitic (among other things) David Duke is.

Farrakhan is as anti-Semitic as one can get. And THE ONE time (that I can find) where Obama was pressed about it by Tim Russert, he basically smiled and laughed it off along with the audience. He condemned Farrakhan's anti-Semitic rhetoric, but he DID NOT disavow Farrakhan's endorsement, instead joking that "I can't tell him not to say I'm a good guy."

Imagine if Trump tried that approach. Well, actually, he kind of did, on Saturday, and got completely thrown over the coals. Forcing him to embarrass not only himself but the media for having to disavow over and over again...as if somehow he secretly is jumping for joy that David Duke wants to see him elected President.

The WHOLE THING is utter and complete nonsense. NOBODY should be held accountable for what SOMEONE ELSE thinks about them. Especially someone like David Duke.

Now, had Trump been meeting with Duke...hobnobbing with him...sitting in Duke's church for years (if Duke had a church)....THEN of course Trump would not only deserve all this scrutiny, but he would rightly and certainly been thrown off the stage and off the trail for President.

But that's not the case, is it NJ? Where's your objectivity in all of this?

Some must receive so much ca$h from so many, that they are hard pressed to find a nano second in the itinerary to deal with any of the interests of the f-ing people they represent!

No, but he sure as hell ain't the solution! He has kept his powder dry in the Republican Primary on all manner of positions, except tangents, like Illegal Immigration. And while I don't believe Trump is in the noxious weeds with Duke & the KKK, it is precisely because of his barring the brown skinned Mexicans & Central Americans from entry into the U.S., that he has these racist, bedfellow cheerleaders. Only a fool doesn't understand that there isn't a word about White Canadians or White Euros in the same 'illegal' discussions and there never would be, by either Trump, Conservatives or the KKK, if that was the case.

And the "faulty earpiece" deflection? :lol: Even Con Republicans are on CNN immediately telling the host, that their earpiece is crystal clear. :rolleyes: Pull-lease, he and his campaign hear and are on top of EVERY and any remark made about him, his biz interests, his life or any political position, (both sides :lol: ) that he has ever taken. That was simply an astonishingly, stupid excuse for FUBARing the question! That is why the Media is beating this one, like a rented mule.

Americans love a huckster and they've had many. But Trump makes people very nervous, because he injects menstrual periods, penis size, racially charged barbs, deranged catcalls into a Presidential Campaign.

WHO does that? Trump truly believes that he is in a 24-7-365 reality TV show, not a campaign for the head of the free world.

It naturally makes people believe that he is mentally unstable, ready, willing and able to do or say anything on the spur of the moment. Trump appears crazed, but his chief opponent- Raphael, appears equally crazed, with the added dogmatic touch. Raphael would be pulling out the alter ego Sharia Law card- Evangelicalism, to hector people on their wrongs, should America ever be foolish enough to choose him. The others simply don't have the Right Stuff.

As for the other team? I am not a fan of Clinton, as she too would be in the bag to some big monied interests. Did not like her answer to receiving huge speech payoffs- at all.

As stated before, I woukd vote for Sanders, if I could, as he is the only one raising the payola issue & the horrible, SC Roberts' decision on same. At least, this issue is on the radar now, but I don't see a way out, other than restricting that SC decision and rolling back contribution levels and types.

A 1927 Klan Rally involving his father, is a non sequitur.

Your question is fair, except from the transcript of the times ( & NY Times) at least two arrested were definitely involved in attacking police (who were removing Klansmen from the parade) either as Klansman or supporters. At least one of two was a Klansman/ supporter in a fist fight and three others, including Fred Trump, were arrested on some sort of disorderly conduct.

The Donald's immediate blustering reaction?

Denial of everything in his shotgun mode:
"about the claims Fred Trump was arrested in 1927 when the allegations first arose last year, Donald Trump said: "He was never arrested. He has nothing to do with this. This never happened. This is nonsense and it never happened. This never happened. Never took place. He was never arrested, never convicted, never even charged. It's a completely false, ridiculous story."

And also, denied that his father even lived at the address listed on the Arrest charge- even when he obviously did. :rolleyes:

So, the issue of whether dear old dad was a Klansman or a fellow traveller is moot, only because you can perhaps infer that ALL of the seven arrested, weren't necessarily on the side of the Klan. At least 3 were, but the article does not separate into Pro/Anti, if that were the case. By the same token, one could also infer that all were, because this was a confrontation with the Police, concerning removal of the Klan from the parade.

In any case, bottom line- nobody can believe anything Foghorn says. He's simply a congenital Pinocchio about virtually anything related to his life and perceived to be so by a majority.

Given all you've just written, it's a monumental leap and an absurd lack of objectivity to assume his father was arrested as a PRO KLAN guy....there is absolutely no proof either way, and yet, the basic assumption on almost everybody's part is that his father was pro Klan.

I find this stunning. Perhaps there is some additional proof to back up this assumption. Something else in ol' Fred's past? Other than he's white and Donald Trump's father.

And by the way, we all KNOW that EVERYONE who is arrested by the police, especially way back when, has ALWAYS been arrested for just and fair reasons. Everyone arrested is most certainly guilty.

I'll remember this the next time there is an outcry on this board over the police overstepping their bounds.

Citing anything from 1927 just shows how small, insignificant the left is.
These people are worthless slugs.

I think the idea of locking them up in GITMO and water boarding them every day is becoming more and more appealing.

You lefties accuse the repubs of being childish????

I laughed.

Somebody else brought this brownshirt herring up. YOU defended old Freddy vigorously, regardless of where the story fell. And why would Trump (as is his usual mode) deny everything, when clearly he is wrong about some aspects. i.e. His father WAS arrested and living at the address of the Arrest doc.

I didn't want to start another tangent because my response was long, but I was going to add something about being charged by Police. e.g. If the Selma, Alabama Police charged people during a Civil Rights March in the 60s, I would assume that they were marchers and absolutely not KKK members protesting the march. :rolleyes:

Also, I would absolutely not assume any Guilt. ;)
