I don't recall a Farrakhan endorsement. Me neither. I do recall that Wright went over to talk to Khadaffi with Farrakhan, and the two of them stroke each other's ego quite vigorously. Allen and a few others like to lay little traps like that, and I've fallen into more than one. I don't blame them for that. I'm a trapper myself. Or was in my better days.

>>I read Allen's question as a leading question. I don't recall a Farrakhan endorsement.<< Sr K - It was neither a leading question nor a "trap", as MM called it. He asked the question of why Obama kept having to reject so many endorsements. As far as I know, the only endorsement Obama has rejected is that of Farrakhan, who did, indeed, officially endorse him. He has repudiated some of the statements by Wright and Pflegel, but they didn't officially endorse him and he has not had to reject their endorsements. I was just trying to set the record straight, though I did it in an argumentative way. - Allen
