Louis Farrakhan: Levees Were 'Blown Up'

[kddid]

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is telling his followers that the levees in New Orleans may have been deliberately "blown up" to kill the city's black population.

The influential preacher was in Charlotte, North Carolina on Monday, where he detailed his Hurricane Katrina conspiracy theory.

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach," Farrakhan explained. "It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."

Farrakhan didn't say who he thought was behind the plot to blow up New Orleans' levees.

The Muslim minister also blasted both FEMA and the Red Cross, saying their response to Katrina victims after the levees were blown up was inadequate.

Tin foil alert!!!

[Paloma_55]

Nation of Islam?

Maybe Louis did it to start a riot?

[SIDENET]

Whitey's fault!

[mcg2000]

I heard this the other day ... they were blown up?!?!

Let me get this straight ... a guy who believes ->
#1 A black mad scientist created white people

#2 A group of UFO's circling the Earth are going to rescue all the black population in the future.

Need we go on?

[bboop]

This is getting really close to yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater, to me. What a JERK.

[johnnyBbad]

Nation of Islam...

What do you expect?

[SerpentDove]

Of course, even HE doesn't believe this.

But that's beside the point.

[John Lenin]

He has no proof, just a big mouth.

[plain talk]

The "black" part of town? This idiot obviously has never set foot in New Orleans to make such an ignorant statement.

[ladyinred]

Farrakhan didn't say who he thought was behind the plot to blow up New Orleans' levees.

I think it was Jessie. He could raise more money for himself that way by screaming what an outrage this racism was! /sarcasm! Joke, just kidding, etc. :-)

[etcetera]

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach,"I

No name to the source. And the crater could have been caused by rushing water?

[raccoonradio]

Exactly...what was that rap song awhile back that had the line, 'Why did Bush blow up the Towers'..." Conspiracy crap.

[kellynla]

Let us know when "Looney Louie" pulls his head out of his arse. LMAO

[JustAnotherOkie]

The sad thing is that Howard Dean will be spewing this in the next presidential election.

[badpacifist]

I am tired of getting oppressed by the man.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

[zeebee]

Cool!
Now all those screaming "Bush's fault" know who stands with them.

[Clemenza]

They done blowed it up good Louie!

[Freee-dame]

I read that four of the five hardest hit parishes in LA are majority white. It seems that no one counts unless they were at the superdome or convention center.

[evad]

Did the most high and righteous black muslim son-of-an-allah cult leader Louis Calypso Farrakhan also mention the explosive residue?

[evad]

Farrakhan didn't say who he thought was behind the plot to blow up New Orleans' levees.

We all know it was Blanco but..
the good news is..
It's All Bush's Fault!

[JOE43270]

I heard this today and it is BULL!#$%. The government of NO and the people who get their monthly hand out check are trying to get the heat of them. A lot of people are risking their lives working in NO and these people still want to hand this trash out, because they don't want to lose the government money that alot of us are getting tired of paying in taxes. I do mean taxes not the money alot of people have donate to athe area for the help for the damage Katrina caused.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Farrakhan didn't say who he thought was behind the plot to blow up New Orleans' levees.

Me.

[Jaysun]

I didn't know that. Jeez, he's one step away from herding a group of followers into a stadium for castrations and arsenic cocktails.

[little jeremiah]

The problem is that a lot of people listen to him and believe him.

This goes beyond the bounds of free speech and into the realm of inciting violence.

[Normal4me]

How come the whiteys got flooded too? Smart racist bombs made by the lowest bidder? And another thing......how do they know there is a 25' crater under the water? I call BS on this article! :-)

[swheats]

"The Muslim minister also blasted both FEMA and the Red Cross, saying their response to Katrina victims after the levees were blown up was inadequate.
"

If only he would have stated this and left it alone. Now we have to believe he's confirmed himself as a real live kook. These people say stuff with such a straight face.

[SIDENET]

This is getting really close to yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater, to me. What a JERK.

I know. I hear this kind of stuff and wonder how anyone could take it seriously. Then, I go and read DU...

[twigs]

I read about this earlier today on DU. And even most of them weren't buying it! So you know it's really far-fetched.

[trek]

Don't be naive. It must have been the Joooos. Who else would be that evil?

[PilloryHillary]

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach," Farrakhan explained. "It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."

[Coyoteman]

levees in New Orleans may have been deliberately "blown up" to kill the city's black population

Sounds like cause for a slander lawsuit.

[TruthWillWin]

Must have been blown up by 19 sticks of dynamite?

[timydnuc]

This lying son of a b!tch knows that this is not true. He's a liar, he's a race baiter, and he is a bastard of the worst level of human kind.

[evad]

LOL..you're admitting it.

Research the history and beliefs of the NOI. It speaks to the level of ignorance of the members ... it's carnival b-rated movie stuff. YIKES!

[AmericanMade1776]

Paranoia strikes deep!

[evad]

Don't be naive. It must have been the Joooos. Who else would be that evil?

Well, Bush, The Joooooooos, it's all the same :)

[mcg2000]

That is too funny! I have a key chain with the theme music of Coast-to-Coast ... I just press a button (to play) when someone starts rambling on about off the wall stuff.

[Bob]

No name to the source. And the crater could have been caused by rushing water?

Actually, after the breech, the damaged portion of the levee was under water. It wouldn't have been possible to see a crater even one were there.

[uncitizen]

"I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach," Farrakhan explained. "It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."

Whatever credibility this guy had, which was very little to begin with, is sure out the window now.

[sharktrager]

He didn't originate this story. In fact Cindy Sheehan had a spokesman say it just last week.

[evad]

..and he is a bastard of the worst level of human kind.

I'm not even sure he's part of the 'human feces'.

[cwb]

Gee, if a crater does exist, I wonder if it might have something to do with the barge that ran into it.

[BenLurkin]

So . . uh . . Louie . .

Was that YOUR guys shooting at the aid workers and contractors?

Hmmmm???

[righttackle44]

Guy--quite possibly ethnic--called Rush today to say that Farrakan couldn't be specific about how he got this information because Farrakan had to protect his source.

Then, he said that it wasn't the President that ordered the levee blown, but that it was the Louisiana governor, so she could get rid of many of those who are sapping the financial resources of the state government.

To all of this, I have to make this important observation:

Did you hear about the terrorist--used to be a Polish guy before political correctness--who was sent out to blow up the Volkswagen of the Prime Minister? Burned his lips on the tailpipe.

[Prime Choice]

FaraKKKhan's "Nation of Islam" is the biggest terrorist sleeper cell in the United States, bar none.

[rockabyebaby]

OMG! LMAO, I heard this earlier today and I'm still laughing about it, hey Louis, here's your sign!
