The left? Why would you assume there’s a link between him and “the left”?That’s absurd.
Farrakhan's words matter, too: It's about time the left universally denounced his anti-Semitism - NY Daily Newshttp://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-farrakhans-words-matter-too-20181029-story.html …

Farrakhan should be denounced. But let's not pretend he has any influence on "the left" or among Democrats. How about calling for the Right to denounce the entire industry of rightwing clergy who use their so called faith as a justification for their bigotry?!

Now, THAT is a conversation that is itching to be had.

you get your "both sides" gold star! Enjoy it the ruins of our democracy!

@jbouie already made this point but it bears repeating: how is a reactionary, deeply traditionalist, anti-LGBT preacher on the left? -
It’s diversion, plain and simple. Don’t lose too much sleep looking for a rational/logical motive here... it’s simply: “yes, our side is full of monsters...... but......quick, look over there!”

I’m sorry; as a liberal & a Jew, I didn’t know I was expected to denounce individual anti-Semites on cue. I usually save it for anti-Semites who inspire targeted bombings & mass shootings. But ok, I hereby denounce Farrakhan. Now can we go back to actual current events?

Beautiful.

I really don’t understand. There’s an election on Tuesday about health care, retirement security, drug prices, tax scams and hovering over it is a malignantly narcissistic would-be tyrant in the White House. What in the hell does any of this have to do with Louis Farrakhan?
-
And what exactly exempts the "right"??

I have lived in the south burbs of Chicago nearly all of my 60 years and his organization rarely makes the news now. It's considered a fringe sect where the leader's rants are just tired and old, nothing more.

Saying the "left" is like saying the "media" as if they are monolithic coordinated groups working together on a common agenda. It's ridiculous. Farrakhan he has been disavowed into irrelevance by anyone with a brain for years now because of his extremist and anti semitic views.
-
This about creating a narrative that the Dems turned a blind eye to anti-semitism. Just like birtherism is about creating a narrative that BHO is illegitimate. Both premises are ridiculous and shouldn’t have to be catered to.

Putin must love this - our most renowed reporters are pushing “nothing matters, they’re all hypocrites” memes. This article is remarkably prescient: http://www.worldaffairsjournal.org/article/yes-russia-matters-putin …’s-guerrilla-strategy

Well he’s black and I guess that’s why Maggie Haberman thinks we all support him. It’s like all white people support David Duke. It’s also why because of her I’ve cancelled my
