Farrakhan: Obama and the 'White Right' (Video)

On Sunday, Louis Farrakhan delivered a nearly four-hour speech at the United Center in Chicago as part of Saviour's Day, an event celebrating Wallace D. Fard Muhammad's birth, the founder of the Nation of Islam.

His speech was titled "The Time and What Must Be Done."

In his four hours, he covered a wide range of subjects. As usual, his remarks were bizarre.

Here's a sampling of what Farrakhan had to say:

From the Chicago Tribune:

Calling this weekend's earthquake in Chile a divine precursor to his planned speech, controversial Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan predicted on Sunday that America will face its own imminent disaster and must prepare.

"It's not an accident that a great earthquake took place in Chile," Farrakhan, 76, said an hour into his three-hour address. "It (precipitated) what I have to tell you today of what's coming to America. You will not escape."

"I will speak to the kings and rulers of the world. I will speak to the pope and the religious leaders because you have to know that your time has come," he said. "I desire to guide you and warn you of things that are coming that you must try to prepare yourselves for because we are absolutely living in the change of worlds."

...On Sunday, he blamed the international cold shoulder on the "reach of the Zionists."

Farrakhan also pointed out that dignitaries in many countries other than the U.S. treat him like royalty.

"I can't even get a meeting with a congressperson if a white man's watching," he said to thunderous applause.

...Citing numerous texts including the Quran, the Bible and a book by Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard, Farrakhan expressed concern for President Barack Obama's life; called for the return of Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the former Haitian president now in exile; and described a spiritual experience in 1985 in which he ascended into a flying saucer and heard the voice of Elijah Muhammad predicting historical events that did come to pass.

"Some people think I'm a prophet," Farrakhan said. "But I have to say, the word ‘prophet' is too cheap a word. Prophets come in the absence of God like moonlight comes in the absence of the sun. I come to fulfill that which you have read from the prophets."

From the Associated Press:

Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan, boasting his divine stature, on Sunday predicted trouble ahead for President Barack Obama and urged him to do more to improve the lives of blacks and the downtrodden.

The 76-year-old leader said the "white right" was conspiring to make Obama a one-term president, and pointed to his stalled efforts to introduce health care legislation as proof. He said those opponents and lobbyists were trapping him into a future war with Iran that could lead to mass destruction.

"The word 'prophet' is too cheap a word. I am a light in the midst of darkness," Farrakhan said at the annual convention of the movement that embraces black nationalism. "It ain't ego, it's my love for you."

An estimated 20,000 people attended the heavily guarded Saviours' Day event at the United Center in Chicago. Followers — men dressed in navy uniforms and women in white skirt suits with matching hijabs — cheered on Farrakhan with shouts of "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God is great."

Farrakhan spent most of the fiery nearly four-hour speech recounting a 1985 vision he had in Mexico. Farrakhan has often described how he believes he was invited aboard an unidentified flying object he calls "the wheel" where he said he heard the late Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad speak to him.

...Dressed in ornate creme robes, he addressed [President Obama] directly:

"Your people are suffering. You can't ease their plight, but you can use your bully pulpit. Speak for the poor. Speak for the weak."

..."Put some money on back of us," he said. "We can reform our people."

The event was attended by 20,000 people.

Farrakhan's ramblings appeal to tens of thousands.

The man talks like a total nut, and he has loads of followers.

I don't see Leftists and the lib media objecting to him. They don't label him as a threat. If anything, they help to spread his message.

Why is Farrakhan allowed to spout his drivel with impunity?

Why are those in the Tea Party movement demonized and slandered while Farrakhan and his faithful are given a free pass by the lib media?

They spend more time attempting to destroy Sarah Palin than they spend criticizing anything the racist and anti-Semitic Farrakhan has to say. They really don't criticize him at all.

Sarah Palin has never said she believes she was invited aboard an unidentified flying object called "the wheel," yet she's considered to be dangerous and a loon.

Go figure.
