Why wasn't it? Wright himself mentioned Farrakhan many times, and in fact, gave him an award.... Mentioning Farrakhan and Wright in the same breath was not a good move.... washingtonpost.com Obama's Farrakhan Test By Richard Cohen Tuesday, January 15, 2008; Page A13 Barack Obama is a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama's spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright's daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said "truly epitomized greatness." That man is Louis Farrakhan. Maybe for Wright and some others, Farrakhan "epitomized greatness." For most Americans, though, Farrakhan epitomizes racism, particularly in the form of anti-Semitism. Over the years, he has compiled an awesome record of offensive statements, even denigrating the Holocaust by falsely attributing it to Jewish cooperation with Hitler -- "They helped him get the Third Reich on the road." His history is a rancid stew of lies. >>>>> cont'd at link above.... There is a lot about Farrakhan on the web...including this: en.wikipedia.org
