WTF? John Conyers others in audience as Farrakhan rails against "Satanic Jews" [View all]

This is disgusting. It's fucking inexcusable. Shame on Conyers and other dems who arranged this and attended it.

Shame on Conyers. Shame on the local branch of NAACP and its chair.

The leading Jewish civil rights group in the U.S. slammed anti-Semitic comments made in a Detroit church by Minister Louis Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam. The Anti-Defamation League is also calling upon Detroit leaders who invited Farrakhan and hosted his talks last week in Detroit to condemn his remarks.

At Fellowship Chapel in Detroit, Farrakhan railed Friday night against what he called “Satanic Jews” and the “Synagogue of Satan,” which he said controlled major institutions in the U.S. He also alleged that President Barack Obama “surrounded himself with Satan ... members of the Jewish community.”

Attending Farrakhan’s speech were the pastor of the church, Rev. Wendell Anthony, who heads the Detroit Branch NAACP; U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat from Detroit; Detroit City Councilwoman JoAnn Watson, and other religious and political leaders.

Anthony, Watson, Conyers and Farrakhan’s office did not return calls today seeking comment.
