The vile, despicable, and frankly just flat-out evil Louis Farrakhan has really outdone himself this time. While never being a bulwark of sanity or tolerance, this anti-Semitic, anti-military, anti-American has reached new depths.
In his latest diatribe he claims how, according to an old NPR report, female American soldiers are often the targets of rape and sexual harassment in astonishing percentages by their male counterparts. Never mind the suspect numbers from the reliably progressive tax-payer-funded National Politburo Radio don't even come close to being on par with Department of Defense statistics, the execrable Farrakhan continues on to postulate that if male American soldiers are willing to rape female American soldiers, then they must just be having a field day in their capacity as an occupying army with the Muslim women in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He further goes on to say that the soldiers that returned home to Fort Hood Texas had pangs of guilt for their actions and thus confessed these crimes to Muslim army major and psychiatrist Nidal Malik Hasan. It was the constant and continuous confessions from these American soldiers of their wanton rape and abuse of Muslim women that caused Major Hasan to lash out in righteous rage against these terrorists and go on his murderous shooting rampage that killed 14 people and wounded 29 others in November of 2009, so says "Minister" Farrakhan.
Now, I imagine that there are indeed American soldiers that are guilty of such horrendous crimes, but they are extremely rare and punishment of such crimes when discovered is exceptionally severe under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. If anything is true it is that our brave American troops typically put themselves in great danger of losing life or limb in adhering to very restrictive rules of engagement specifically in order to protect civilian life. Our military is comprised of professional soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen. They are not the hordes of Genghis Khan that Senator John Kerry accused them of being in Vietnam. Having served in the first gulf war, I was very proud of the conduct and professionalism of the men I served with there. The duty of the American military is to kill the enemy and destroy their ability to make war. It is not to rape and plunder, nor has it ever been in our history.
Atrocities occur, and when they do, they should be and are harshly dealt with accordingly. Louis Farrakhan's implication that murder and rape are the standard operating procedure of the United States armed forces is disgusting and unsupportable by any evidence whatsoever. Woe to him who calls good, evil and evil, good, "Minister" Farrakhan.
Now I am all for free speech, even of such falsehoods and outrageous and despicable fabrications as what Louis Farrakhan has just spewed forth here. That said, how does this fool have any credibility with anybody other than those that want to believe these lies based on their faith in such things and an abject hatred of all things American?

Who cares what Farrahkahn thinks?
Jim, typically I would absolutely agree with you, but unfortunately there are a lot of people that do care what he thinks and respond accordingly.
When the keynote speaker of the million man march spews such hateful lies about our country and its military, how many people believe him and take his hatred seriously? He is far more dangerous in his speech than what the left accuses right wing talk radio of being, by many orders of magnitude.
After the riots in England, the beatings of victims selected by race in Philly (white), and at the WI state fair (white), and the "flash mobs" that are NOT breaking out in song but using the social networks to gather to commit crimes (robbery and assault),the new sport of "Knock out King", the current unemployment rate of over 20% for black men, anything this hater of non blacks, non Muslims and capitalism says that could increase violence against the majority of Americans has to be taken seriously.
For once I'm with Jim, he's a wacked out cult leader who thinks there are aliens in invisible ships killing black people.
No one listens to him, except Barak Obama when he needed the votes to beat a confirmed pervert when he ran for Senator in Chicago ;)
...and to think they "worry" about Rick Perry's religious connections!
HE TELLS ALOT OF TRUTH..IT'S SAD, BUT THE TRUTH HURTS..TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT ALONE. PEOPLE COMING HOME FROM THE WAR ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF THEIR MINDS WHEN THEY RETURN..THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE EVIL THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THERE...WE MIGHT NOT KNOW THE TRUTH..BUT GOD DOES....PRAY THAT GOD'S JUDGEMENT IS MERCIFUL.
Not a bit surprised by his comments.
Anonymous, I am curious as to your comments. I know that war is a horrible thing and something to be avoided except as an absolute last resort.
That said, I don't think that what our service members are doing is evil. Killing is not the same as murder. Those very few members of the military that are indeed guilty of murder typically are found out and dealt with severely. That said, protecting innocents and ensuring that repressive elements that ally with terrorists is the antithesis of evil.
The deliberate and random killing of un-armed people, like Hasan did was not justified in any way. It was evil.
If you would care to expound on your reason why you think otherwise, I sincerely would like to know and try to understand your point of view.
YUP,
I am competently out of MY mind since I started fighting the endless WAR ON POVERTY.
