I know it just has to be a coincidence that of all the places President Obama could have lived at, his home is only several blocks away from Farrakhan’s. The Nation of Islam leader who said that Obama had been “groomed” for the job.
You know, it always goes back to the fact that life really is simple… no matter how complicated humans want to make it.
And if it quacks like a duck, it is a friggin duck.

I also wondered how it is that a locally known Baptist minister called Calypso Louie directly and told him to have the Fruit boys stand down. Louie has a prepared group of folks called the “Fruit of Islam” to stand “up”?

And the Nation of Islam is not Islam of the middle east.

So if let’s say Franklin Graham had a group of steroided muscle bound white boys called the “Fruit of the Spirit” who could stand “up” for him, how would the press have handled the day of prayer controversy?

Something about what the whole ordeal illuminates is disturbing.

Sorry but am clueless. What is Wide or Die about?

We’re probably lucky someone didn’t get shot. Can you imagine what would have happened if this had gone down outside of some conservative pundit’s house? We’d have SEIU marching up and down the block demanding justice and free speech and free abortions for the next 15 minutes. I can just see the headlines:

“Right Wing Standoff Leaves Reporters Shaken”
“Conservative Paranoia Grips Chicago, SEIU Calls for Seizure of Wingnut’s Property”
“Teabagger’s Mere Presence Threatens First Family, Causes Concern for Secret Service”
“Joe Biden Expresses Concern Over Chicago Standoff, Salt Content in His Mid-Afternoon Spaghetti O’s”

Bite me. They’re lucky I wasn’t there–I would have caused an “incident.”

just because Barack Hussein Obama’s friends are all LEFT of liberal don’t mean nothing…LOL!

Really? I mean, really? Perhaps he fears to much for some reason? Guilty mind driving itself insane?
sigh…

it would probably produced net positive results if someone from Farrakhan’s private army had tried to knock a reporter around.

…as The One obsequiously and dutifully says.

but the pool reporters seem to have missed taking pics of Fruit of Islam hep hep guys in tee shirts.

It would also be interesting to see graphics of the Farakhan house.

There is apparently some dispute as to whether it is his house, ie a residence, or a tax free religious dwelling.

Perhaps we can all get a better look. Perhaps Bill OReilly will send a producer to the door step. Perhaps Chicago media will do likewise or has already.

I’ll never forgot when I was a kid and Calypso Louis moved in to one of the larger tax-exempt homes in our neighborhood (before he moved on to Hyde Park). The fruits were always pacing around in front of the house day and night. Back then they wore fez hats with little FOI’s on the front of them and the women wore some kind of hokey white nurses outfit. They were driving the neighbors on the block nuts – but nothing was ever done about it. One day we were driving by and my little brother asked my Dad “What does FOI mean?” and my Dad responded with a great flourish. “That my son, is the Fruit of Islam”. We’ve called them “the fruits” ever since.

You can’t go anywhere in the south side of Chicago without running into them. They’ve lost the fez hats since the early 80′s – now they wear black suits, sun glasses and sometimes even a fedora – blues brothers style. You cant get on or off the Dan Ryan expressway without one of them coming upon your car trying to sell you – believe or not – a fresh baked pie. Peace be upon you, please buy a pie to support the cause. These guys seem harmless – but the ones that stick closer to the prophet himself are some seriously scary dudes.

I love when the NY media makes their way out of the bubble and discover where The One has risen from – haha. That my dear is the Fruit of Islam.
