3. Yes, he's telling it like it really is.
He is as brillant man but hated by the right wing in this country because he can speak directly to common man and to power at the same time.

4. Any minute now
another angry round of denunciations coming that Farrakhan is this and that. Farrakhan has been saying this for quite a while.

9. Taping it now. He is a powerful speaker and is speaking the truth.
Watch out for the Nation of Islam. They are a force to be recognized.

10. Documents from speech and research found at
www.finalcall.com

Letters that Farrakhan sent to Bush and others. A wealth of information there.

11. Yes!

He does make sense on many issues.

Farrakhan is taking questions now. Sez both junior and Kerry are not his according to his ideals. junior is worse and Kerry is not much better.

12. I am very disappointed that he didn't answer the question about which
candidate he would vote for. He evaded the question like a neo-con. But in general, he is right on target with his message. I wish he had just said I would vote for Kerry and hold my nose.

13. Go Brother!
I caught the last 5 minutes of his speech but my Brother is speaking the truth about Bush! I didn't hear him say anything that he has not always said.

He is STRONGER now! He has been ill and I believe that he is feeling compelled to tell it like it is and he did just that! It reminded me of MLK "I've seen the mountain top speech."

If Malcolm X were alive today he would say the same thing. Malcolm saw this coming when many said he was crazy. Malcolm was not crazy his words then are now our REALITY.

His words will echo, especially with African Americans. He said that "The Democratic Party OWES us something." African Americans , at all economic levels believe that, not reparations necessarily, but we have been LOYAL to the Democratic party! He is saying that he does not want African Americans "used" and not valued!

I am reminded of the alliance of Malcolm and Martin. Many people thought that they were not friends but they were. Martin could not have accomplished 1/2 of what he did without Malcolm X. America was afraid of Malcolm X and so they let MLK get some of what he wanted so they would quiet the voice of Malcolm. The Minister is really doing Kerry a Big favor in the African American community. He is speaking to our people and telling them..VOTE for Kerry but hold him accountable! He is rounding up the Hip Hop Vote. They will listen to the Minister,they may not hear Kery clearly.

If you don't want to believe what the Minister says now,just let Bush get elected and tell me in two years that the Minister was not speaking the truth today.

Remember,he does not hate Whites,he just loves his people ,he is being like a father. He has seen what has happened to the African American males in prison,by unfair numbers. He is angered by that and the other injustices.

Speak My Brother! Speak!

25. Martin furthered by Malcolm
Glad to see that in print.

I was saying that just today, to a friend of mine. Also, the Black Panthers helped Martin's progress.

This is a BIG part of the issue...."Used and Not Valued"!!!!

Suppose the Dems will *EVER* get that?

14. I am not black nor Muslim, but I was impressed by the clarity
of thought. Some of the issues and ideals (and the way he implements them...following the teachings of the person responsible for Malcom-X's death...) are not up my alley. But he does have points that are direct and truthful.
One question: how come NO white news people of mainstream media there?

16. The corporate whores marginalized him long ago.
If Kerry stepped up to the plate and laid out the neo-con agenda this way, we wouldn't have to worry about Nov. It would be a blow out.

18. * Told Them Not To Go

They don't want to hear the truth and they don't want to give the Minister air time. He scares the crap out of the Media.

24. Do you really believe that mainstream media wants to deal with the truth?
The power structure in this nation has always marginalized, lied about, and misrepresented Louis Farrakhan. I too am not Muslim or black, but this was the clearest most profound speech on what is really going on in this country now and concerning the Iraqi war.

20. Just heard the beginning of his message. Wow!! names PNAC names
read entire letter sent to Clinton and signed by the neocon pack all most of whom occupy high government positions now. He predicted what Bush would do and warned him against it and accurately predicted what the outcome would be. Amazing!!! You may not like him but he is fearless and truthful. Wonder how long he will last? These people are treacherous.

22. I saw the whole 2 hours worth.
I was spellbound. I thought it was excellent. He told everything exactly as it was. He even told about Operation Northwoods. He told how the US started the Spanish-American War way back in the 1800's. He talked about Haiti, Panama, Israel,everything. He said that he believes that bush* didn't know about 9/11, but that some people did (and implied that they let it happen.) Wow! The www.finalcall.com website says that this speech was broadcast worldwide.

23. Kicking this for the night crew. If it is re-broadcast, you must see it!
It was awesome. Very enlightening and very truthful.

The Website www.finalcall.com is also awesome.

26. Is there any way to find out when it might be re-broadcast?
Or, any of the other great speeches?

Seems like I miss many really good ones, and it's frustrating. I now want very much to hear this one!

29. remember the Maine
no matter what you think of him, he sure can put the fear of God into a room...one could only hope he could do the same to the republicans.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

31. Farrakhan is a hell of a speaker.
Great speech and Q&A session. The man is intelligent, eloquent, sincere and passionate. I don't sense hate from him at all.

34. It's weird.
I don't believe in god or anything but he sort of makes me want to. He has a charisma and conviction that is compelling. I don't believe he's a prophet but I believe he is very politically astute. It always helps when the speaker is saying shit you want to hear but even the stuff I didn't want to hear was very true. I find myself aligned with his goals even if I don't believe in god. Everyone being cool to each other is something that should be desired by all.

35. Truth
Yes, he is top notch preacher. Too bad Kerry can't have some of that fire. He didn't evade the question. He said he wouldn't vote for either W or Kerry. I agree with all of his speech.
