Sen. Barack Obama issued a statement this afternoon after a video tape emerged showing Father Michael Pfleger 'speechifying' from the pulpit of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

In the statement Obama said he was "deeply disappointed" in Pfleger after his sermon was captured on videotape showing the priest mocking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and white people from the pulpit of Trinity, the home church of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Sen. Obama.

Sure they are and so is Obama. I don’t know why he doesn’t just admit that he hates America, white people and the flag, move on and trust the fact that there are enough people out here willing to vote on that platform.

Really Dashi - you imagine you would pass such a test? C’mon - you're more full of crap than a County Fair Porta-Potty 5 minutes before the midway lights are dimmed. You'd stand a better chance of passing a “5,000 question test on government, economics, and current events” through sheer guesswork then you would by relying on the reams of silly-assed BS you pretend to “know.”

During Impeachment, Pfleger defended Bill Clinton and accused Republicans of racism for going after the first black president.

OMG!! He really does need to be defrocked!!

Will someone please explain to me why the archbishop of Chicago has come down on this priest?

Hasn’t this been going on with Pfleger for some 20 years!

Oprah reportedly left this church years ago.

Since it is repeatedly showing itself to be a bigoted piece of trash. She needs to explain why she left and why she doesn’t hold any disregard for Obama staying despite several high profile ugly incidents.

Oprah 'joined' the church, and depending on which story you believe, she either quit because Wright tried to shake her down (well, make her tithe 10%) or because she wanted to write a check and not participate.

I used to think that the second scenario was the most likely; I've come to believe that the first is more likely.

I don’t know what you’re trying to indicate by calling me “Dashi,” other than perhaps you think I’m someone you know. However, I don’t worry when people who have no idea what I do or don’t know show their asses with groundless insults.

The "priest" is a white guy, who wants to be considered a fellow black racist, telling a black audience that generations of whites from the current one on down have to give up everything they own, have etc. before any "whites" can even be considered to be forgiven.

If all white people need to be held responsible for everything their ancestors did, would blacks consent to have all blacks be held collectively responsible for all black crime?

Is Pfleger a Catholic priest or an Episcopal priest?

Has anyone noticed that Drudge once again has nothing on an Obama controversy? Any other time he would be all over this and making it news. Now, not so much. Drudge has left the building and is now firmly behind Obama.

He [Pfleger] was trying to “act Black”.

Algore always tried that when he was speaking in a black church, but he never came across as anything more than "arrogant, condescending white trying to act black".

Pfleger, on the other hand, has it down pat -- with a little "white rage" thrown in for seasoning.

What a sad sack racist projectionist. The only thing I have been "entitled" to is getting my sorry butt out of bed every morning and going to work.

No racist presumptuous priest...I'm not a supremacist male ..I'm a woman. French, Irish. French side came up from the colonies to farm, French Grandparents rejected by socialist in the old world, died on the farm fields fighting the elements for survival. Irish Grandparents died on the railroads and in the mills. fighting for every morsel of food.

No you racist Priest...we had families that starved. Minutemen's wives who's husbands died in the war fields freeing minorities were starved by your precious democrats.

I resent your implications...yes I resent you and your assumptions and I think you should pay for every wrong ever done throughout time because we all come from the same cradle of civilization...you racist.

You have no frame of reference other that communist hogwash that wants to wipeout religion. You are a trader to Christianity as is Rev Wright. You will not make me feel that I must give something to anyone who has not worked for it. Not today...not ever.
