Father Pfleger Bashed Clintons...Again
ABC ^ | June 1 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 06/01/2008 2:02:38 PM PDT by PghBaldy

Apparently last Sunday, Father Michael Pfleger -- the fiery liberal activist and longtime friend and associate of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois -- gave another sermon mentioning the Clintons disparagingly, in addition to the one he gave at Obama's (now former) church.

At his own church, St. Sabina's, Pfleger said, "Hillary and McCain would wish they had a preacher with the integrity of Jeremiah Wright. … They got some old weak preacher…some old Joel Osteen cotton candy preacher."

I wonder if “Father Flakey” realizes he might soon become a candidate for an unexpected sudden `Arkancide’.

Say whatever about the Klintoons, they follow old Joe Kennedy’s advice to the letter,

“Don’t get mad, get even.”

I have heard that Pfleger has bulked at being transferred from St Sabina

Rumor has it he has said if he is transferred he is taking his people and leaving.

"I’m new to the whole religious thing...and I love going to church"

Good on you. Keep the faith. Obviously this "priest" (in name only) has strayed.

Ironically, that was one of the topics at Church today.

An answer to your first question, they are no kind of Christians. They have abused and used their authority in the Chuch to lead many astray and will suffer greatly for it. I too would be out of any church in heartbeat if that kind of bologna and profanity was spewing from a pastors lips. What is going on in this Country is what has been prophisied. I am notsaying the end is near, but the end in coming, things are getting worse, there really are more earth quakes, more floods, more famines, more disease tahan ever before. Take heart Christ told us so, and we know who wins. Pray for your fellow man, no matter how idiotic they seem.

I never thought the catholic church was a purveyor of racial hatred. I know many of it’s members are, especially in Chicago, but the Church itself...no. In Chicago you got the Irish, the Polish, the Mexicans, some Germans, some blacks. I love the Church, but I don’t understand it and why it’s tolerated. I come from southern rural america, but I’ve never seen it like this.

I’ve gone to church my entire life, and I’ve never heard anything like this preaching...I’m wondering about it myself. I thought churches would lose their tax-exempt status for doing politics...Why isn’t that law being enforced??

He didn’t attack the Clintons. He attacked the preacher of the church they attended.

Hang in there and hang tough, keep the faith. This priest in question is not true to his Catholic faith and is an embaressment to the RC Church.

I don’t think it’s a “Catholic” church.

I feel that you do not properly appreciate Fr. Phleger's incredible ecclesiastical accomplishments. After years of study in various seminaries, in which he was exposed to classical languages, the works of the early Church Fathers, and theological nuances of every kind, he has managed, despite these handicaps, to turn himself into a funky African-American Preacher Urban Charlatan Ghetto Rabble Rouser Implied Extortionist....

just like The Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Of course, Rev. Wright had a built-in pigmentation advantage .... but not much ... and he certainly didn't have Fr. Phleger's education to hold him back.

But wait! (As Billy Mays says) There's more! This whole preacher thing is a well orchestrated distraction designed to take our keen freeper eyes off'n the ball.

Algonquin J. Obama, whose mommie is a commie, has been hangin' out with genuine commie bomb throwers like Bill Ayers, and the ACORN Gang ever since he was old enough to mix a metaphor with an oxymoron, and a fib. He has been thicker than thieves with these people for decades.

Come on! Who really cares what these ghetto pulpit pimps have to say?

The real scoop on Mamma Obama's baby boy is that he is a unique, sweet-talkin' combo of Chicago Machine crook and Marxist agitator of the old school. In comparison, Mrs. B.J. Clinton, who has many a moldering left-wing skeleton in her closet, really is a RINO!

Recycled post ping

Hey, he can’t say those things about the Clintons. Only WE can say those things about the Clintons.

Nah, if he's a Chicago parish priest, that means he probably went to Quigley South, or may have been one of the last graduates from Quigley North before that was closed because there weren't enough students. Chances are he learned more about Chicago-style politics than any teachings of early Church Fathers.

Which helps explain why the church kept him around; it was him or an empty set of vestments.

And anybody who brings Billy Mays into a post is always welcome to post twice; it helps CONVEY THE IMPORTANCE!!! :)
