Does Obama’s Church Qualify as a Racist Hate Organization? [Congregation cheered hate speech]
IsraPundit ^ | 06/03/08 | Bill Levinson

Church leaders and members cheered Pfleger’s racial hate speech, sanctioned blood libels of U.S. and Israel

In one of George Macdonald Fraser’s “Flashman” books, Harry Flashman–the school bully from “Tom Brown’s School Days”–is watching a public hanging. The man next to him suggests that, instead of watching the actual hanging, he watch his fellow Britons’ reaction to it because it will be far more entertaining and enlightening. It is similarly far more enlightening to watch the reaction of Barack and Michelle Obama’s fellow churchgoers to Father Michael Pfleger’s hate speech, even though Pfleger’s obvious feigned outrage and overacting is the center of attention. The overwhelmingly positive reception not only of Pfleger’s “There were a whole lot of white people crying” but also of his previous support for Louis Farrakhan suggests that the Obamas’ church is, quite frankly, a racist hate organization. Pfleger’s and Wright’s hate speech, and Wright’s loathsome church bulletins, did not happen in isolation. They took place with the complete knowledge, and the at least tacit if not overt approval of the church’s officers and the Obamas’ fellow parishioners. This, as opposed to the bad behavior of a couple of individuals, is what makes the Trinity United Church of Christ racist.

Barack and Michelle Obama’s membership in a racist organization is entirely consistent with Barack Obama’s courtship of Black Nationalism in “Dreams From My Father” and with Michelle Obama’s senior thesis, in which she says her principal commitment is to the Black community while describing the “problems” that come from racial integration. They joined an organization that they knew to be racist, and they remained in that organization despite its promotion not only of racism but hatred of the United States, hatred of Israel, and promotion of actual terrorists.

Just look at the mission statement of the church. It’s all about black promotion.

‘nuff said.

I have said this from Day One. All the hoopla over the pastor is NOTHING compared to the racism displayed by the congregation when they react so insanely to the “hate Whitey” statements. Go back and watch the videos. This church deserves to lose any IRS exemption, plus it should be prosecuted under the hate crime laws.

Yes, it is unquestionably a church of hatred. This place is no more indicative of true Christianity than the KKK is.

No, No. Whitie MUST sit in the back of the church & succumb. Is there any Rosa Parks "whitie" that will take this on? Ans: No, not from meek ole Whitie.

They SHOULD lose their tax exempt status.

But NO ONE should be prosecuted under unconstitutional “hate crime” laws.

It’s all about promotion of black victimhood. And hatred of Whitey.

Re: “This church deserves to lose any IRS exemption, plus it should be prosecuted under the hate crime laws.”

It didn’t actually commit any hate crimes, but Pfleger’s anti-Hillary speech could well be an abuse of the church’s tax exempt status. That is something the IRS will have to decide.

the insult to injury part of his trinity exit speech was when he referred to his ‘fairly ordinary Christian religious experience’ - or something close to that

if he thinks that theatrical, raging is ‘fairly ordinary’ in the ‘Christian religious experience’, he is confusing it with his madrasa ‘experience’

Obama’s hate church was no better than the KKK.

I agree that there is really no such thing as a “hate crime” but if they plan on enforcing white churches to toe the line, then the black churches should be required to as well. They are already threatening to take away IRS exemptions for preaching against abortion.

Wright, Wright's replacement, Otis Moss, and Pfleger are all haters.

The congregation that whoops it up while these bigots preach their poison are all haters.

The only people associated with Trinity UCC that are not haters are the Obamas.

And anyone that believes that is delusional.
