A conservative pastor, priest or rabbi would be in prison for doing 10% of what Pfleger, Sharpton, Farrakhan, Wright or Obama's new pastor gets away with!

[Texas Eagle]

Damn straight. And they would’ve had their tax-empt status revoked many moons ago.

[Roscoe Karns]

ho has done an awful lot for people

I imagine that's a typo but it works either way.

2nd, this news is sure to be on B16's desk.

He is not going to let this stand, count on it.

Re: "I always have felt in him this consciousness that, at the end of the day, with all of us, you’ve got to face God," Pfleger says of Obama. "Faith is key to his life, no question about it. It is central to who he is, and not just in his work in the political field, but as a man, as a black man, as a husband, as a father.... I don’t think he could easily divorce his faith from who he is."

In another demonstration at Chuck’s Gun Shop, owned by John Riggio, Rev. Pfleger told the crowd: "We’re going to find you and snuff you out"

I'd like to see Pfleger show up inside any gun store and announce he's going to "snuff out" the owner(s). I'd pay to see it, in fact. The RC church wouldn't have to worry about defrocking him after that.

OBAMA-PFLEGER TIE RUNS DEEP

May 30, 2008

Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on Rev. Michael Pfleger’s remarks at Sen. Barack Obama’s church that led the Catholic priest to apologize and the Democratic hopeful to renounce them:

“Most commentators are already focusing on the inappropriateness of the race-baiting comments by Father Pfleger. More serious is the venue in which he delivered his diatribe and his long-standing ties to Sen. Obama.

“Father Pfleger’s tirade would be inexcusable anywhere, but it is even more offensive when it happens in a church. It does not matter that it was not his own, nor does it matter that it happened in a church that has a record of allowing demagogues to exploit it. When churches become forums for political rallies, both religion and the First Amendment are corrupted.

“Obama and Pfleger are no strangers. Indeed, when Obama was in the state senate in Illinois, he conveniently arranged for Father Pfleger’s St. Sabina’s Church to receive state monies for its social programs. Of course, the guardians of church and state separation said nothing then and they are saying nothing now. That’s because they’re all in the tank for Obama. Just as important, why is it that of all the wonderful Catholic priests in the Chicago Archdiocese, Obama long ago chose Pfleger to hang with? Truth be known, Pfleger has a very troubling history: he has welcomed the anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan to preach in his church; he has hired prostitutes to worship there; he has been arrested for defacing billboards; and he once urged the crowd at an anti-gun rally to hunt down a gun store owner ‘like a rat’ and ‘snuff’ him.

“Senator Obama says he wants to bring people together. Then why does he choose as his clerical friends people like Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Father Pfleger? They are two peas in a pod, both equally divisive, separated only by the color of their skin.”

[ArchAngel1983]

Could not agree more... This Father Pfleger is really starting to get on my last nerve. I keep telling my family I’ll return to the Catholic Church when the Vatican discommunicates the esteemed senior senator from Massachusetts but considering his current state of health I will adjust my proposition to include the defrocking of this so-called priest.

And this is the cowardice of the modern Catholic Church; the failure to hold individual priests accountable for their actions. It’s too dammed bad too! I miss the pre-Vatican II days. We Catholics have suffered so many fools since then that I’m surprised the Church has any credible standing in any nation.

[FredZarguna]

In a statement on Saint Sabina's website, Pfleger wrote, "Dr. Wright is one of the great biblical scholars of our country and the best of preachers in the prophetic tradition. Dr. Wright has been shamefully demonized by 30 second sound bites that have tried to re-define him into someone other than who he is."

-- From Wiki, so your mileage may vary as to accuracy, but I believe I heard him repeat this idiotic statement, inter alia.

My first reaction to Pfleger -- a year or so ago, concerning a call to "snuff out" a Chicago gun dealer was: "So apparently the Catholic Church has relaxed the basic requirement that its members -- or at any rate its priests -- must actually be followers of Jesus Christ."

Now, given these bizarre ecumenical remarks, and his latest public display, I think we must conclude that the minimum IQ requirement for clerics has been lowered substantially as well.

Either that, or he's part of a black propaganda [no racial overtone intended] effort by Republicans. Could we even make up a bunch as comically anti-American as Barak's circle of friends if we tried? The South Side of Chicago is a satirists dream come true.

Obomba must be REALLY stupid....doesn’t he know about the Internet......NOTHING is secret anymore....

Whenever I hear the "Rev." Pfleger I can't help but think of this movie:

A white gangsta wanna-be.

Rev. Pfleger

[doug from upland]

Look on the bright side. At least he hasn’t been accused yet of being a pedophile. That’s something.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

In a sane, non-leftist-liberal world Pfleger, esp. Sharpton, Farrakhan, Wright, Moss or Jesse Jackson would be in jail, defrocked, or laughed at, not with.

However, this is the leftist-warped America of 2008 when, like in “Alice in Wonderland”, everything is revised, as was it in “1984”’s marxist world (War is peace; peace is war).

Obama had 20 years of this hate-whitey, hate-America indoctrination from Wright and he claims it didnt’ affect him.

Either he is very deaf, very dumb, very stupid, or a very good liar, or any combination thereof, but Obama expects us to believe his innocence in all of this. Instead of being viewed as the next coming of Jesus, how about Obamie being viewed as the next coming of P.T. Barnum (”There is a sucker born every minute”).

Time to wake up and smell the HATE.

Madmax, the Jewish canary in Obama’s mine.

[elhombrelibre]

Obama and his supporters say you cannot judge him by whom he associates with. However, why would anyone choose to associate with Pfleger, Wright, or Farrakhan? I don't actually think Obama agrees with them. I think he's been using them to assure he gets street cred in the black community. Now, he needs working class voters, and these upfront racists are a problem for Obama that they'd not been before. Like his own granny, whom he'd describe as a racist equivalent to Wright for political gain, a great uncle, whom he'd said liberated Jews in Auschwitz, and like the claim that that same uncle experienced PTS (so Obama could claim to know the effects of combat and win over defence type voters), Obama will lie about and quit friends and family when it helps him.

[RedCobra]

So it’s one or the other,....either Obama is in bed with the loony, racist beliefs of those his ‘church”, and the two lunatic “reverends” that have made the news, or he really is as naive and stupid as he can be, with no idea at all as far as his judgement is concerned. Either way, he is not fit at all to become President, or even dog catcher, for that matter.
