Sen. Barack Obama issued a statement this afternoon after a video tape emerged showing Father Michael Pfleger 'speechifying' from the pulpit of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
In the statement Obama said he was "deeply disappointed" in Pfleger after his sermon was captured on videotape showing the priest mocking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and white people from the pulpit of Trinity, the home church of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Sen. Obama.

I’ve never seen this guy before and it seemed to me this Pfleger was trying to imitate Wright. He was trying to “act Black”.
Well at least he got the part about Hillary right.
See my tagline...
LOL, Obambi will never escape the nutty racism of Trinity b/c there is an bottomless well of racist nonsense that’s already spewed out of that place. Just watch the video with a focus on the reaction of the audience and the church heavyweights right behind the pulpit — he wasn’t speaking to some unreceptive audience, they LOVED what he had to say and ate it up with delight. Nearly everyone was standing and waving and raving with delight before he was through. THIS IS Barack Obama’s chosen, preferred, 20-year racist church. There’s no news here except to anyone who has not been paying attention.
It’s not just this minister or that minister or this “mis-statement” or that insensitive remark...... Pfleger (a radical nutcase) is already well known to them, as indicated in the introduction, b/c he is a perfect “race traitor” for whites, spouting the same noxious b.s. as Jeremiah Wright. It’s no wonder they lover Pfleger there, and it’s ridiculous for anyone to let Obambi continue to pretend that any of this is a suprise at all.
Yeah, he’s actually 100% on target about Shrillary so that part of the rant is not offensive, it’s simply accurate.
However, his nonsense about endless “white” privelege and responsiblity for things done by prior generations is crap — but we can see how deeply the assumptions of the “reparations” movement are already embedded in people like Pfleger and the Trinity UCC congregation.
I have to agree with you that he was trying to “act black”. If I’d just heard the video and not seen it I would have thought he was a black preacher, most likely related to Rev. Wrong!
This says all I need to know about Barack and Michelle Obama.
There’s no way I would vote for a white man if he attended such a radical church. Why do some consider it okay for a black man?
I gotta give the Father props.
I haven’t laughed that hard in months!
The wiping the face was funny!
This is going to have Hillary and Bill steaming mad. LOL I love it.
So it’s your opinion that Women, Minorities, and Men and Women old enough to die for their country shouldn’t have the right to vote? Basically, you’re the reason that church hates white people. Thanks.
“Pfleger is and has long been a total jerk. BUT, unlike Wright, he had the decency and smarts to apologize for his comments.”
I disagree about the apology bit. He distinctly said he would apologize -IF- his words offended. That is not an apology
This dirtbag had no "decency" or "smarts". He had his ass pinched bigtime after he made these comments. That's why he "apologized".
While the comments were grossly politically incorrect, they were probably spot on.
What bothered me was the audience of drooling morons whistling and cheering their approval. The congregation of that "church" belongs on baboon island.
PLease. Act Black NO. Left wing Yes.
“So it’s your opinion that Women, Minorities, and Men and Women old enough to die for their country shouldn’t have the right to vote? Basically, you’re the reason that church hates white people.”
Personally, I *hope* those dilwads hate me. I would be very uncomfortable with their approval. They are screwed up seven ways from Sunday, and they only thing to be said for them is that they have the the same right to life as every other human.
That said, no, women shouldn’t have the vote, and no, people are not ready to exercise the franchise responsibly at eighteen. As for the poll tax, that has more to do with trying to restrict the franchise to solid citizens than with any “minority” crapola.
I think there should be a poll tax, and that tax should be used to pay the cost of giving prospective voters a 5,000 question test on government, economics, and current events. At least 4,500 correct to receive a ballot...for those who pass the johnson test, of course.
Your bigotry is apparent. Thank you for the response.
In an Obama administration, that would be a cabinet-level office.
“Your bigotry is apparent.”
People who dismiss dissent as bigotry and then swan about thinking themselves open-minded crack me up.
Bigots like you and the turd you defend crack me up.
“Bigots like you and the turd you defend crack me up.”
You don’t belong in decent society. Turning my back now.
