He did not state he supports Farrakhan. The quote is:
"Jesse [Jackson], and Mr. [Louis] Farrakhan and Rev. [Al] Sharpton probably have internal domestic political differences," Clinton is quoted as saying, "but they've agreed on this, and I think it's a good thing."
Clinton said: "I like the idea of a march, but I think it would also be good at the march for them to say, 'We want to call your attention to this problem, and here's something else you can do. And that it's fine to be concerned about [homeland] security, but we also have to keep trying to make America strong and better here at home."
No where in this does he "support" Farrakhan or give evidence of "friendship".
This is just a journo's OP-ED piece, with the facts distorted to support his opinion.
