Remember, kids: Every single time Cao tells you something, look for the facts she is choosing to ignore. Ignorance — specifically, her own — is everything to Cao.
I’ll repeat that so it sinks in:
Ignorance — specifically, her own — is everything to Cao.
Cao has tried to connect Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan to Barack Obama via the crude and transparent ploy of posting a few fire-breathing quotes from Farrakhan and then mentioning Obama — as if Obama had anything to do with what Farrakhan has said over the years. Cao carefully avoids noting that Obama has denounced Farrakhan’s views on multiple occasions, most recently during the February 26 debate:
OBAMA: You know, I have been very clear in my denunciation of Minister Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic comments. I think that they are unacceptable and reprehensible. I did not solicit this support. He expressed pride in an African-American who seems to be bringing the country together. I obviously can’t censor him, but it is not support that I sought. And we’re not doing anything, I assure you, formally or informally with Minister Farrakhan.
Cao also echoes the Mighty Wingnut Wurlitzer™ in another respect:
We shouldn’t forget, either, that Obama’s church bestowed an award upon Louis Farrakhan.
And again, she meticulously ignores that fact that Obama has already disposed of this canard:
In his February 5 Washington Post column, Richard Cohen wrote: “Look, I know what Barack Obama was doing when he refused to confront his minister about the latter’s embrace of Louis Farrakhan. He was ducking an issue with no upside for him.” In fact, Obama addressed the “issue.” On January 15, after Cohen reported that Trumpet Newsmagazine, which is published by the church Obama attends, gave Farrakhan the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award, Obama issued a statement “condemn[ing]” Farrakhan’s “anti-Semitic statements” and said of the award: ”[I]t is not a decision with which I agree.”
Cohen wrote on January 15: “Every year, [Trumpet] makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said ‘truly epitomized greatness.’ That man is Louis Farrakhan.” That same day, the Post’s The Trail blog provided this statement from the Obama campaign:
“I decry racism and anti-Semitism in every form and strongly condemn the anti-Semitic statements made by Minister Farrakhan… I assume that Trumpet Magazine made its own decision to honor Farrakhan based on his efforts to rehabilitate ex-offenders, but it is not a decision with which I agree.”
Now you know why you cannot take Cao seriously. Ever. The lizard bitch simply has no interest whatsoever in the facts.
Ignorance über alles!

How interesting… you post a near-duplicate of your previous comment. Is this your own idea of “original thought”?
Ah, the old wingnut standby… when you cannot construct a rational counterargument, you trot out the eliminationist rhetoric. Tell us again all about your devotion to “original thought”.
Did Cao ignore the facts about Obama’s denunciation of Farrakhan and his views? Yes or no?
