Griffin didnt endorse Obama at all, it was a joke that we used to our advantage to get a bit of free publicity :-)

The money the Sun paid to the photographer for the photo went to the British National Party as well.

This was on top of the free publicity The Sun gave us.

How do they know this?
Where is a quote from Griffin in that article?

No quote?
I take it then that the B.N.P hasn't "contradicted itself again".

Its position has been perfectly consistent through out, crude moron racist with a defective sense of humor.

Sun: "BNP man roots for Obama", "BNP leader Nick Griffin cuts an unlikely figure as a Barack Obama fan – but that did not stop him", "as this snap shows, it looks like Griffin is not averse to seeing a black man become the next American president."

Then came the BNP's web article... if wearing an Obama cap was just a joke, the Sun has reported this completely falsely and has not made it out to be one.

Maybe its because we sold the pic as an 'expose of BNP leader Nick Griffin in a compromising position', I know what happened I was right in front of him when the pick was taken and then I was there when the phone call was made and email sent.

At no stage did Nick endorse or say he endorsed Mr Obama.

Also when the cap was presented as a surprise present to Mr Griffin it was presented with the line of "I didnt have to go to the deep south of America to get this, its made out of white material and you put it on your head (At this stage everyone is thinking it will be a KKK hood) and then the Liverpool member pulls out a Obama hat"

So you people can fantasise over it all you want, but I have explained what really happened and Mr Griffin has said both candidates were useless.

Can you still not show me any quote from Nick Griffin to say that he endorsed Obama?
