[...] Wright’s relationship with the controversial Farrakhan extended far beyond an award. In 1984, Wright personally accompanied Farrakhan to Libya to meet with Muammar Gaddafi in Tripoli. In 2008, Wright even predicted his association with Farrakhan and Gaddafi may cause political headaches for Obama’s presidential aspirations: “When [Obama's] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit [Gadhafi] with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell,” he said.We can only hope that since the info came out, the Jewish community will give pause to supporting Obama any further. Especially if he still has any support for Wright.
Some of the other politicians who associated with Qaddafi include Condoleeza Rice and even Tony Blair, the latter who did it for JP Morgan banking deals! (See also this Indian Express article that tells more.) There were even Israeli Arab Knesset members who went to see him.
I hope the Israeli politicians used their visit as an excuse to spy on the dead one. But unfortunately and out of neccesity, they were making oil deals: don't put all your eggs in one basket.
