CHICAGO - Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Thursday that any of his backers who also support presidential candidate Barack Obama shouldn't be dissuaded by the senator's denunciation of Farrakhan during a Democratic debate.
His statement comes after Obama was asked during Tuesday's televised debate with Democratic presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton about Farrakhan's support for the Obama campaign. Obama said he denounces Farrakhan's anti-Semitic remarks and rejects his support.
Farrakhan sent an unsolicited statement Thursday to The Associated Press that he said was meant to respond to "outrage expressed by many" over Obama's comments.
"Those who have been supporting Sen. Barack Obama should not allow what was said during the Feb. 26 presidential debate to lessen their support for his campaign. This is simply mischief making intended to hurt Mr. Obama politically."
Farrakhan later clarified that by "mischief making" he was referring to the questions posed by debate moderator Tim Russert, host of NBC's "Meet the Press."

Farrakhan knows it was all wink, wink, nod, nod.
no kidding!
Louis Farrakhan is a black racist but you’ll never see that headline in any paper!
So...........Farakahn is saying Obama doesn’t mean what he says, eh?
I’m sure Obama knew this question was coming and talked to the Brothers of Islam of how he had to handle his answer.
Don’t believe everything you hear.
Could Obama be related to Baghdad Bob or just taking a page out of Bob’s play book?
Let’s be honest they can be racists and we can’t.
A better title might be: “Farrakhan offers followers a living lesson in al taqqiya”
DNC themesong; Oh I came from Al-Obama with my Koran on my knee-————
Now that’s unconditional love!
Al-taqiyya?
He wouldn't dare, for more reasons than one.
Ummmm, its sounds like the Hussein campaign gave Louie a call, and insisted it was all “mischief making”, by the press and he really didn’t reject him.
Hey, Farrakhan knows that “Nation of Islam” ain’t just a religious group title....
Still have to take Hillary out first, or you’ll have her as your next president and essentially no military defense after that.

That is the exact radius of the constant airfoil section on the Mothership.....
Yes he is the Candidate for sure....
