I don’t understand why they don’t pull this church’s tax exempt status. They have clearly violated the law for a non-profit to avoid partisan politics.
As a Roman Catholic, I think Faher Pfleger should be sent to a remote island for about 10 years.
Perhaps he can be enrolled in a cloistered order with a vow of silence.
He’s probably a Pfag.
Sorry, I don't understand... Did Pfleger's tirade include "fake tears," etc., or was his tirade directed against Clinton's "fake tears," etc.?
Can someone help me out here?
Regards,
The man is a lunatic. He's a Catholic Priest? WTF is in the water in Chicago?
The whole tirade was a disaster, particularly when he went into his "Bro" ghetto voice. He should be ashamed of himself. He was playing to the black crowd, and succeeded in "whipping them up".

From lat year, for those of us who had not heard of this tool.
Watch the video of his sermon. He fakes tears, he screams and he acts out his “sermon” and puts words in her mouth and the mouth of all the “whiteys” that he says feel the same as Hillary. The video was available yesterday at Michelle Maulkin’s website.
Thanks for posting the hyperlink to the video. It was disgusting and embarassing. This "priest" was doing nothing but attempting to incite race hatred and social envy. His logic was worse than specious. It's rare that I stoop to such comparisons, but I would say that his base rhetorics were certainly on a par with anything one could read in Julius Streicher's Völkischer Beobachter anno 1933.
He deserves to be defrocked.

Its not just Rev. Wright that is the problem...its the entire Church!
I just watched it at the link above. What a repellent creature the man is. I assume Cdl George has just pretended to be ignorant of this for all these years, hoping that Phleger will just go away or mysteriously evaporate during the night so he doesn’t have to do anything about him. Typical bishop behavior.
But this is completely beyond the pale. It’s definitely political and I don’t see how the bishop can continue, simply from the IRS point of view, to let this man rant like this and continue to be pastor of a Catholic church.
Also, don’t the blacks in the audience who are watching this white guy pretending to be black feel a little - uh, condescended to? I guess not, since they are on their feet clapping and shouting with delerium. But really. How stupid can they be?
The biggest thing that needs to be brought up is this $200,000.00 B.H. Obama got “ taxpayers to give this guy the money. This anti-white racist if Mc Cain got some white racist $200,000 from the taxpayers he would be done.
Jim Jones never left.
How does that “church” maintain it’s IRS status?
the Johnson Amendment was first inserted into the tax code in a sneaky and underhanded manner, without due consideration by Congress or open debate. Lyndon B. Johnson, when he first ran for Senate in the state of Texas, seems to have stolen the election. An election judge admitted as much on his death bed, and told exactly how he had helped Johnson steal the election. A lot of Texas preachers knew about this, so the next time Johnson came up for re election, in 1954, they told their congregations exactly what they thought about his lack of honesty and integrity. So, Johnson thought of a novel way to shut them up. He quietly slipped an amendment into the tax code stating that churches and non profits could not endorse candidates or engage in political speech. This amendment was never openly debated on the floor, and many Congressmen did not even know it was there when they voted on the tax bill.
