Pal #5

Barack's pal of the day: Louis Farrakhan

The Supreme Minister of the Nation of Islam, he currently lives in Chicago. He blames the U.S. government for the levee breaches in New Orleans - he claims the U.S. bombed them as an attempt to wipe out black people. He is widely seen as being extremely racist against white people and Jews (and called Hitler a great man). I could make a very long list of his hate filled comments, but I have other things to do.

Ties to Obama: Obama's church gave him an award while Obama was a member, calling him a "truly great man". But even more important, Barack organized Farrakhan's Millions Man March in 1995.
