As I mentioned .. you failed to state what it said... I also believe this was on a Internet Bulletin in which people can write whatever they want...similar to this one... You mentioned it as not important to what it said...or the relevance it had to the subject matter. Anything and everything can be taken out of context.. if you are going to charge Obama with something (especially something he has no control over)... at least have the proper information to back your claim up.
As far as Farrakhan... lets talk about why he was honored... Farrakhan doesn't have the stigma he has with people like yourself in the black community. We realize he has said some unsensitive things in the past... The whole Jewish came as a result of an attack from Jewish Institutions against Presidential candidate Jackson back in '84.. in which Farrakhan responded... both parties were involved and it was bickering or statements made b/w the two.. Farrakhan has since sought to work directly with Jewish organizations... That is some background.. if you are going to tell the truth ..tell it all.
Now back to the church... Farrakhan has done many positive things in the black community... he was recongized for his prison work and helping ex cons turn there lives around...
this is "typical" america.... we always want to highlight the negatives in a person... we never talk about the good they do or their positive achievements. He did this work in that community.. regardless of his religious belief... or past statements... I have no problem with him being recongized for helping other people.
Once again; You are completely wrong. If you would just take about 3 seconds to actually read the posts after the ones you make you might find your questions are actually answered. The links, TO PICS OF THE ACTUAL BULLETIN were posted for you.
No, it was NOT a blog or a forum. It was posted in the "Pastor's Page" section of their church newletter. Page 8.

Among other things, the propoganda states Hamas has never attacked Wstern countries... Read for yourself. I refuse to waste time summating the truth when clearly you don't bother to read it for yourself when your questions are answered anyways.
It's ironic you tell me not to take things out of context and that I should "have the proper information to back it up". Guess what... I did have the proper info and posted it plain as day for you to see... How about you get the proper info?
Farrakhan is a racist. Would you be ok if a Grand Wizard of the KKK was given a Lifetime Achievment Award by a church McCain was a member of for 20 years? I know I wouldn't be. Farrakhan's Racism issues are far more recent than 1984. Again we've posted the speeches and quotes. If you fail to read the info that's your issue, not mine.
