Mika Brzezinski realizes that the latest looniness emanating from Barack Obama's church poses political problems for the presidential candidate. But as a person of pallor, the ever-so-PC Morning Joe-er doesn't want to judge a black church—even when the most recent rantings come from the mouth of . . . a white preacher.
Morning Joe opened today with a clip of Father Michael Pfleger guest-preaching this past Sunday at Obama's Trinity United Church of Christ. Pfleger, a fixture on the radical Chicago scene whose endorsement of Obama until recently appeared on the official campaign website, mocked Hillary Clinton's New Hampshire tears as a sign of her frustrated sense of white entitlement. The screencap shows Pfleger making like Hillary wiping away those tears.

But while acknowledging the headache Pfleger poses for Obama, Mika was oh-so-loath to comment on the substance or tone of the remarks themselves. Excerpts from her discussion with Tucker Carlson, Mike Barnicle and Willie Geist:

Mika is ONLY good for ONE thing!
Mika so PC she won’t judge Pfleger ping to Today show list.
20 years in the scummy pond of Chicago’s South Side politics has malformed the Democrats’ prize catch - Barack Obama.
He’s contaminated. They should throw him back.
Depends what team your on.
That ‘pastor’ is an embarrassment to the Catholic Church at the very least and an abomination to people of faith everywhere!!
I tried to find Archbishop Francis George’s email without success this morning. I want to register my *concern* about the very non-Christian antics of Father Michael L. Pfleger. No Catholic, let alone a Catholic priest, should be supporting an adamantly PRO-abort candidate such as Senator Obama.

I’m continually bewildered by the cursing from the pulpit in this church.
There fixed it.
I have the feeling that sales are up among Democrats for antacids and sedatives.
What really makes me laugh is this guy's apology. We've all seen what he said. He's not sorry he said it. He really should simply be a man and fess up that he doesn't like Hillary Clinton, that he really believes what he says and that he's not sorry for saying it. I'd still think he's working outside of his pay grade, but at least I could have a smattering of respect for the man admitting what all of us in FR have been saying all along... Hillary Clinton feels entitled to the job.His apology is phony and now Obama's campaign can come out this weekend and say: "He said he was sorry. Game over!"
Like I said this whole thing is hilarious. If his rant ended with a voice over saying "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night Live." we'd all be laughing instead of displaying righteous indignation.
I tunde in this morning just to see if they would cover the story. Drudge won’t touch it,even though it PFleger has known and been very close to OBAMA for over 20 years. The Chicago Sun Times has written about this for over a year, but Drudge seems to be shilling big time for the Messiah.
Back to Mika. They showed only the END of the video, the part where Pfleger takes out after Hillary, and then after tried to make it seem like a poorly presented political attack on the HIldabeast. In fact, if they showed the entire video, they would have seen that Pfleger was attacking ALL WHITES. and the audience was going crazy, eating up the rascist rhetoric the crazy priest was spewing. When he called for whites to give up their 401k’s and that white people today owed blacks for the sins of their ancestors, the crowd was applauding and cheering. Mika tried to make it appear that this guy just showed up and Obama had nothing to do with him. Of course, anyone who can Google can see that is not ture at all. More egregious on the part of the MSM is not calling out Pastor Moss, the new preacher who Obama said was excellent and different from crazy uncle jeremiah wright. Pastor Moss invited Pfleger to speak at trinity last sunday, he introduced Pfleger to the crowd, and after Pflege went off on his rant, Moss CONGRATULATED Pfleger for his remarks. Mika either doesn’t know or is too stupid, or is too in the tank for Obama to realize that EVERYTHING about the church and its congregation is about Black Liberation Theology, a MARXIST melding of religion and communism which has migrated from Latin America into the black community. Obama is part of that, he may hide it, but his wife does not, it is why she says she is not proud of her country, why she says amaerica is a downright mean country, etc.
The MSM will try to pass this story off as same old crazy pastor stuff, but to the average ‘morning joe’ this is much more, it is more verification of who Obama is, and what he represents. It is not the ‘change we have been waiting for’, it is a wolf in a smooth talking suit.
She also alluded that white people, in general, cannot judge this black church.
How he can remain a Catholic priest in good standing is beyond me. His continuing status is another black eye for my church.
