oh shit...Ahmadinejad Met With New Black Panthers, Farrakhan In New York

[kpete]

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met with Louis Farrakhan and members of the New Black Panther Party during his trip to the U.S., the New York Post reported.

During his trip, Ahmadinejad "wore the same tacky suit and shirt all week" and took every precaution to keep himself safe. Bulletproof glass was installed over room windows, he left through the employee entrance without stepping foot in the lobby of his hotel, and kept his head covered with a white cloth, the newspaper reported.

The New Black Panther Party is at the center of a controversy over Justice Department's handling of a voter intimidation against three of its members. The Justice Department said Friday that the conservative-dominated U.S. Commission on Civil Rights' investigation into how the case was handled was "thin on facts and evidence and thick on rhetoric."

1. Let me guess. They had nuts for dessert?

Neither Farrakhan nor the bogus "New Black Panther Party" is to be taken seriously. The Southern Poverty Law Center actually classifies the NBPP as a hate group!

2. Why would the NBPP have any involvement with this, if true??

Meeting with Farrakhan is at least believable, due to their mutual view of Israel...

So the reporter is convinced that they met, but has no idea what was discussed? The source is part of the security detail, methinks...

3. why do they sully their reputations by meeting with this rube?

:eyes:

(my comment doesn't apply to Farrakhan who already has the reputation he deserves)

4. Think he (below) was invited to roundout the discussions?

5. "wore same tacky suit and shirt all week"

but somehow managed to change into a sober suit and shirt to go on Charlie Rose.

And found time to have black graying hair and beard dyed black. Washed and rinsed too.

Must have smelled bad though. Eating all that "spicy grub" that made "the whole hotel stink like hell."
