The Obama campaign recently deleted the following testimonial [http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=clnk&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2F64.233.169.104%2Fsearch%3Fq%3 Dcache%3AEgIaXB8TimQJ%3Afaith.barackobama.com%2Fpage%2Fcontent%2Ffaithtestimonials%2Bsite%3 Abarackobama.com%2Bpfleger%26hl%3Den%26ct%3Dclnk%26cd%3D1%26gl%3Dus&ei=yWs_SMX4JqjMececoKUE&usg=AFQjCNGm90jDjfleu2EuLCh0fnojMJmVgQ&sig2=6-NHyHF0ioY9Nfw5mrVTYA] from its OFFICIAL Web site (faith.barackobama.com) because it does not want voters to see that Obama welcomed a testimonial from another backer of Louis Farrakhan.

Father Michael Pfleger Senior Pastor, St. Sabina Church, Chicago, IL I’m concerned by issues of poverty and issues of justice and equal access and opportunity especially when dealing with children and education and healthcare. Also, the war in Iraq is non-negotiable: end it! The faith community has to be a prophetic voice to bring us to where we ought to be as a country. Its voice should call every individual to be their best and not assimilate into anything less. Obama is calling back those who have given up and lost hope in the political system both young and old in the belief that we can fix it. He has the intellect for the job and I haven’t heard anyone since Robert F. Kennedy who is causing such an emotional and spiritual awakening to the political possibilities.

Who is Michael Pfleger? According to material posted by the Wall Street Journal, he is a defender of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Meanwhile, Back at Trinity United By JAMES TARANTO May 29, 2008

Who is Michael Pfleger? As we noted last month, he is a strong supporter of Louis Farrakhan and has been described as a “spiritual adviser” to Obama. He also publicly threatened the life of a Chicago businessman and, according to one report, “is known for climbing ladders to deface liquor billboards.”

The linked article includes a screen shot of the material that the Obama campaign is trying to keep off the Internet, along with another screen shot of Jeremiah Wright's testimonial that the Obama campaign is trying to hide.

Please COPY (don't link, it uses the host site's bandwidth) and circulate these pictures as widely as possible.

The bottom line is that Obama, who joined Jeremiah Wright's church even though he knew that Wright was consorting with Farrakhan at the time, probably agrees with a lot of Farrakhan's ideas--such as Judaism being a gutter religion, the Pope being the Antichrist, and Caucasians as "potential humans" who "haven't evolved yet."

This is perfect; I can stitch this picture onto the screenshot of the Pfleger testimonial on Obama’s Web site.

There are more photos of them together. just go to images.google.com and enter their names.

Also Pfleger reportedly has a 20 year association with Obama. And he travelled to an Iowa campaign appearance.

Look for a photo of Obama with Pfleger.
