Farrakhan: President Obama under heavy attack
BY SOPHIA TAREEN Feb 27, 2012
Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that President Barack Obama has suffered more criticism than any other president because of his race, and it has created a negative climate that could lead to assassination attempts on the first black president.
The leader of the Chicago-based movement addressed thousands at the group’s annual convention in a wide-ranging speech that touched on presidential politics, the national debt, international policy, food, Israel and claims about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, among other topics during the hourslong speech.
Using slides and photographs before the crowd at the United Center, Farrakhan spent nearly an hour illustrating disparaging comments about Obama and first lady Michelle Obama made by current GOP presidential contenders, city leaders nationwide, along with caricatures drawn in other countries depicting Obama as Hitler.
Farrakhan, 78, said that there are people who do not like having a black man in the White House and particularly blamed Republicans, criticizing nearly the entire field of Republican candidates seeking the presidential nomination.
“They have called President Barack Obama a racist, an anti-Semite, a socialist, a communist, a foreigner, an alien and some have even called him a terrorist,” Farrakhan said. “Obama has really got them upset. Republicans are looking for some white person. Anybody. Anybody.”
Farrakhan said the comments, along with those around Obama who he said are manipulating him, are creating a negative atmosphere that could make him a one-term president. It’s a claim that Farrakhan has touched on in years past, but he discussed it more explicitly Sunday.
“They’ve said over and over that he is Muslim when he’s Christian. Well, president, you might as well come and join us. Then we’ll get something done,” Farrakhan joked.

“Plotting our brother’s assassination”? You did that with Malcomn Ten, Louis.
He is in danger like Malcolm X was and we know who was behind that.
I wonder if Farakahan issued this kind of warning before he had malcolm X murdered?
Sometimes the truth hurts.
Something to be said about great minds I guess...we posted the same idea within minutes and a 3 posts in a row.
Well Libya is being overtaken by the Muzzie brotherhood so now Obama is seen as a Martyr.
The black racist Farrakhan is nuttier than squirrel crap! Anything he says is gibberish...
I know Obama is a racist, but I fail to see how that puts him more at risk.
“and it has created a negative climate that could lead to assassination attempts on the first black president.”
In that case, we better play it safe and elect a replacement in November.
While Calypso Louie is the voice du jour bellowing racism, hatred of Obama because he is black ad nauseum, whites in this country have to realize that this slave-guilt perpetuated by liberals and progressives will never, ever go away.
Blacks in this country have become too accustomed to blame racism when incompetence is the culprit. It is the fallback standard and it will never go away, not with this half-black president, nor any future non-white president - EVER. It has become a code pair in the DNA.
Do not be surprised if some incident occurs which Barry will use as an excuse to clamp down on the "vast right-wing conspiracy", and which will trigger widespread rioting by Democrat constituencies.
