There’s Obama’s Crowds, And Then There’s Farrakhan’s

I admit, Obama’s big crowds – 17,000 in Madison, 17,000 in Seattle, 12,000 in El Paso, 7,000 in Bangor — were impressing me. But then I read that Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam attracted “nearly 20,000” to a speech in Chicago this weekend.

It’s the speech where Farrakhan said, “If you look at Barack Obama’s [diverse] audiences and look at the effect of his words, those people are being transformed from what they were,” he said. “This young man is the hope of the entire world that America will change and be made better.”

There’s an audience for just about everybody in this world.
