What is more important than Pfleger's hate speech is the reaction of Barack and Michelle Obama's fellow congregants: a standing ovation for racist material. This should be made clear in letters to the editor and blog entries.

And this surprises you how?
We don't need to feel guilty for what happened in generations past. We don't need to purge the guilt from our souls for some ginned up ideologue with a messiah complex.
Something is very fishy about this story. Pfleger should be severely punished for this breach of trust vis-a-vis his own congregation.
What would compel him to stand there and vilify white people this way?
Just another message to blacks saying that their problems are not their fault and that it’s ok to blame whitey for all their problems. Sorry, Michael, it’s idiots like you who keep far too many blacks from bootstrapping themselves into a better life like so many others have. Selling the I’m-a-victim message is so easy even a white guy can do it. Of course, if you didn’t stir the pot and sell this poison, you be a backwater preacher with no congregation, except for Jesse and Al, perhaps.
Maybe there is NOT more to this story.
Maybe this is going on all over the country.
Just sayin’
If I attended KKK meetings for the past 20 years...and the leaders and speakers in those meetings acknowledged me as a leader...a CONGRESSMAN. Then to the press and people who are critical of me attending the meetings, I said that I went to the meetings but didn’t agree with what was being presented or claimed I didn’t hear any racial comments.......well...you get my point.
“What would compel him to stand there and vilify white people this way?”
He does it everyday. It makes him feel important to parade around, behaving like a black comedian, and have the congregations of his own church and Obama’s church cheer him on.
I know the Chicago diocese tried to transfer him somewhere else a couple of years ago, and IIRC, he threatened to take his own congregation elsewhere.
I'm talking about a Catholic priest leaving his own church to preach in church like this. Especially in this way. I have never heard screaming and carrying on by a Catholic priest like Pfleger did. It so far out of the norm as to suggest insanity or a serious need for publicity.
Send him on a mission to Calcutta!! Lots of people there he can help.
Pfleger has merely hijacked the Diocese of Chicago and St. Sabina’s to carry on his personal war against whitey and America. He’s no more a priest than frog squat.
God looks into the hearts of men and knows their true desires. Pfleger has a hot future.
The Catholic Church, like the UCC and others, has a lot of really pathological clergy. Especially after Vatican II was hijacked they swarmed out of the woodwork and into the church, with insurgency on their agendas. Only the divinely inspired election of John Paul II saved the church from possibly irreparable corruption by the hate-filled leftwing "humanists."
Which church is he in? I have never heard of anything like this from a Catholic priest.
Are you kidding? He'd tell it was all the fault of America that they were poor. Then he'd fit them for suicide bombing attire.
St. Sabina in Chicago.
This church, like Wright's "church" should lose their tax exempt status. They are not churches but rather podia where hate mongers are allowed sanctuary from reality.
He has a black "significant other?"
A mentally challenged individual could make the distinction between right and wrong at that hate filled church. It is beyond belief that any reasonable person would not associate BHO with the hate filled attitudes promoted at the church?
Wake up America, electing BHO will put this country back 100 or more years.
Billery must have a rabbit to pull out of the hat at the last minute or have something big that they will reveal about Obomber for them to stay in the race.
Please don’t put the ‘ Obama’s name..you might upset some of us who do have that in our very Irish names like say O’Donnell...or O’Malley..he ain’t one of us....
