'Snuff' the Gun Shop Owner, Priest Says By Susan Jones CNSNews.com Senior Editor May 29, 2007

(CNSNews.com) - An Illinois gun-rights group says it plans to complain to the Catholic Church after a Chicago priest at the weekend appeared to call for the murder of a suburban gun shop owner.

During a Rainbow/PUSH Coalition protest at Chuck's Gun Shop & Range on Saturday, the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina's Church, threatened to "snuff" shop owner John Riggio.

The Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) has posted online what is says is a recording of Pfleger's remarks.

PflegerIn the audio clip, the priest is heard being introduced to the crowd by the Rev. Jesse Jackson. Immediately therafter, Pfleger launches into a tirade.

"I want the NRA [National Rifle Association] to understand - you have a lot of money, but money can't buy moral authority and it can't buy justice or freedom, and we will fight you, NRA," he says.

"We will fight you on every angle [sic], no matter how much money you've got, we will embarrass you, and we will embarrass every legislator that takes money from you. We will call them out by name, by district. We will expose you, legislators."

Pfleger then turns his attention to Riggio. "He's the owner of Chuck's. John Riggio. R-i-g-g-i-o. We're going to find you and snuff you out … you know you're going to hide like a rat. You're going to hide but like a rat we're going to catch you and pull you out. We are not going to allow you to continue to hide when we're here

This leftist Pfleger is a nut. I had never heard of him until a week ago, but it is obvious that he is a fake Christian engulfed in liberal nonsense, desperately trying to appease minority groups trying to appear as one of them.

Pfleger and Wright are psychotics who have influenced Obama. How scary is that?

Terrifying! And if that isn't bad enough, just think how many people have been mindlessly agreeing with these two in their combined lifetimes. Those are the people who vote the likes of Obama into office. An insidious and vicious cycle.

JAC!!!..When a priest starts talking like this we are doomed. It is time to rise up and put an end to this kind of thinking. I hope that all of you think about this in November and in all future elections. The dark side has gotten away with way too much in the last few years.

“I want the NRA [National Rifle Association] to understand - you have a lot of money, but money can’t buy moral authority and it can’t buy justice or freedom, and we will fight you, NRA,” he says.

money can’t buy freedom but a gun can protect freedom.

I would be very happy is the Reverend Michael Phleger would come through on his “threat” to out all legislators that are against stricter gun control. I think it would be very informative to the voting public.

I guess we have an answer to the question, “do I have to believe in God to be in the pulpit?”

I remember this. Isn’t publicly threatening to kill someone a crime? It should certainly disqualify him from being a priest.

Bob Jones is more of a Catholic that this so-called “priest.”

He’ll get a pass.>>>>>>>>>>

The Rev. needs several successive hot oil enemas from an orderly who has hands the size of cabbages.

Maybe that would clear his brain. Obviously his head is in close proximity to his AH.
