Looking Back: 20 Quotes From Minister Farrakhan On Barack Obama
- He called him a murderer regarding destroying African/Muslim countries like Libya, but most comments were damn near positive of Obama, like below.
Stand by your man
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Farrakhan urged his followers not to abandon Obama over the then-senator’s denunciation of him during a Democratic debate,
CBS reported.
“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 intended to hurt Mr. Obama politically,” Farrakhan said at the time.
A savior has come
Farrakhan once compared Obama to the Nation of Islam’s founder, Fard Muhammad, who also had a white mother and Black father.
“A Black man with a white mother became a savior to us,” Farrakhan said of Obama during a 2008 speech. “A Black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall.”
Change will come
It was a total praise fest during a 2008 speech
Farrakhan gave. He said of Obama, “This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better. This young man is capturing audiences of black and brown and red and yellow. If you look at Barack Obama’s audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed,”
CBS reported.
I like him
When asked about the-presidential candidate Barack Obama on ABC’s “
Nightline,” Farrakhan had only nice things to say. He said, “I like him very much. I like him, he has a fresh approach. And I’m fearful, because there’s a structure in our government that no matter who sits in the seat of power, there are forces that one has to contend with if one is able to attract the masses of their votes. Barack Obama is doing quite well.”
Obama, the messiah
When Obama was the presidential candidate, Farrakhan referred to him as the “messiah.”
At a 2008 Saviours’ Day event, Farrakhan told the crowd that when Obama talks, “the Messiah is absolutely speaking,” the blog
Women of Grace reported.
He added, “You are the instruments that God is going to use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth. And he has involved young people in a political process that they didn’t care anything about. That’s a sign. When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking.”
A healer?
During a “Nightline” interview, Farrakhan spoke of the pluses of Obama attending an Indonesian School as a child where he learned about Islam.
“As for the controversy over Obama’s early Muslim education, Farrakhan said that, if anything, it should help him rather than hurt him.
“There’s not a paper that you pick up today that doesn’t have some reference to a Muslim or Islam, whether it’s radical or secular or this or that,” Farrakhan said. “So when a man gets into the presidency who has some appreciation for the culture of Islam as well as the culture of Christianity and is respectful of the Jewish culture, that man has a heck of a chance to heal wounds and to bring people together.”
Nothing but love
“I love that brother, and I want to see that brother successful. I don’t want to say anything that would hurt that brother and I don’t want them to use me or the Nation of Islam,” Farrakhan said during a 2008
Saviours’ Day speech.
A visionary
Soon after Obama was elected for the first time, Nation of Islam leader
Louis Farrakhan said Obama is a “
God-given leader with extraordinary vision.”
Farrakhan compares Trump to Satan during visit to Iran
He also called Trump Satan.
So you haven't proven Louis Farrakhan is alt right.
