Not that I enjoy reading MSNBC, but this item grabbed my eye.

It is a funny thing when the (Prime? ) Minister of the Nation of Islam barely stops short of giving the Democratic front-runner Barrack Hussein Obama an acclamation putting him on a par with the Saviour of Mankind.

Could it be a stroke of (unlikely) humility, or more likely, a desire not to be tarred with the brush of race-baiting, anti-Semitism, thuggishness, and racialism (be it of the African Nationalist variety) that so marks Minister Farrakhan’s long career?

Said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton: “Sen. Obama has been clear in his objections to Minister Farrakhan’s past pronouncements and has not solicited the minister’s support.”

Indeed, if Obama is to be our “saviour”, I couldn’t think of anyone more fit to be his prophet than Mr. Farrakhan.

Good luck with that nomination with him on your side… heh.
