[Obama's friend] Rev. Pfleger: 'They want to kill me'(Boo-hoo!)

What'd he expect. Looks like Clinton operatives are every where. LOL...

Can anyone imagine if a white Pastor preached hate against Blacks? Yet, this hate preaching against white Americans is allowed to go on without any repercussions whatsoever.

[Hardastarboard]

I'd like to know what Pfleger was doing sermonizing in a Protestant church in the first place?

And SWEARING from the pulpit, no less!! I don't want to kill him, but I do want to (open hand) slap him really hard.

He's been a "hate whitey" priest for a long time. He and Obama's Rev Wright are good buds. I'm sure the other day was not the first time he and Trinity got together.

What's good is that this video and others of the "hate whitey" genre will make a good showing between now and November.

[Dr. Sivana]

Can a Catholic explain this guy to me?

Unfortunately, a lot of men who had no business being priests signed up in the 60's and since. Some have political agendas, some social agendas, some just like having a position of authority.

During Cardinal Bernardin's episcopacy, many unsuitable candidates found their way to Chicago. Once there, they build up a power base, with the support of Bernardin. By the time Bernardin dies, these priests are a power fgorce unto themselves with the full support of the unchanging chancery staff. Cdl. George makes an initial attempt to clean house by importing African and Polish priests, but is quickly stymied. Since then, he has been trying to control the mayhem, but with little success in my opinion. This is not the kind of issue that the Vatican normally gets quickly involved in, at least not in the newspapers. Chicago has had some good priests and has added some good orders (most notably Institute of Christ the King). St. John Cantius is a treasure. Fr. Pfleger is a scandal and an embarrassment. He should not have been "preaching" as part of a Protestant service, he should have been preaching the Gospel, he should not have been donating money to a notorious pro-abort (Obama) and much as I cannot stand Mrs. Clinton, he had no business imputing motives to her.

That included declining a specific request by the Sun-Times for a comment on Obama's decision to leave Trinity church.

Really? Clearly, it's getting too hard to hide the festering hate and racism in that so-called church anymore. Obamamama's going to have to publicly renounce it, along with Wright, Farrakhan, Ayres, Rezko, and his white grandmother. Who's left? Oh yes; the lovely and charming Michelle.

[Syncro]

That wasn't enough to pull him from the preaching circuit?

Will the hierarchy of his religion now stifle his murderous and insightful hateful speaking, or just send him to another parish like they did for years with their known pedophile clergy?

[oneolcop]

"It's a very difficult situation," he said. "I've received thousands of hate threats."

Words...they're just words...

[DCPatriot]

So the hate-spreading priest and Kathleen Willey’s cat now have something in common.

ROFL!

I don’t think that any Catholic can participate in another religion’s service. It’s OK to attend a funeral or wedding or just go to church with your non-Catholic spouse but be the star of the show? NO

I really don’t think a priest should be anywhere near that place. What does his bishop say about that?

[Oldexpat]

They need to invite him to speak at the National Press Club.
It sounds like he will defend his comments content, but regret the style. If he does a good job..why he may get a million dollar house like Rev. Wrong.
It just shows you what is going on in S. Chicago while no one pays attention.
I wonder if some enterprising Freeper can post the list of members of Trinity. Many churches have a year book..that might be interesting. Maybe there are a few more Rats that could be cleaned out. Who the hell was cheering this on?
Rich black bureaucrats, lawyers, pols?

[oneolcop]

It would indeed be interesting. I wonder if any of the church directories are out there.

For Obama, Pfleger was only a small part of the problem. The REAL problem is that the Trinity Congregation once again revealed itself as a crude, vulgar, white-hating, racist mob, stomping and braying like animals at the vile insults heaped on whites in general and Clinton in particular. They behaved in like manner when the despicable Wright mocked the murdered teenager Holloway, someone the “congregation” did not know, but hated because of her color. Obama was part of this mob for 20 years. He exposed his innocent children to them. Shameful!

[B-Cause]

Good one Prole

Pfleiger needs to calm down, and have another drink.

[Arthur McGowan]

He’s a “gifted” priest. I.e., a rabble-rouser. A “golden boy,” one who has always had what he wanted—the parish he wanted, etc. When Cardinal George gives him an order, he tells the Cardinal to shove it.

Pfleger is a symptom of the putrefaction in the Archdiocese of Chicago. The wheeler-dealer Cody, the gay Bernardin, the weak George.

It is totally improper for a Catholic priest to be preaching about HIMSELF. The homily is supposed to be on the GOSPEL that is read at Mass.

If you’ve ever seen video of Pfleger at Mass—in a dashiki, dancing around the altar, screaming and carrying on—you’d know he’s not a Catholic. He’s also pro-abortion, needless to say.

[Operation_Shock_N_Awe]

No, the words are CORRECT......

Obamy is the second Messiah. /sarc

[Prole]

When it comes to the circus that is the democrat party, I am here all week!

[doug from upland]

This Catholic can only conclude he is mentally unstable. but then, that can probably be said of the pedophile protecting Cardinal Mahoney.

[karnage]

As a white Irish Catholic from the South Side of Chicago, I have some knowledge of Pfleger. He’s unusual, if not unique. Became impressed at an early age with the black firebrand preaching style and adopted it as his own. He’s been at St. Sabina’s for a long time. Had run-ins with Cardinal Cody, Bernardin, and now George. Numerous attempts have been made to bounce him, but he is very popular with his parish, which was dying when he took over; he made it thrive as never before. He has done a lot of good for his neighborhood. But some guys fit well into a particular niche, and don’t gain luster when seen in a larger context.

From NR tonight:

http://chicago.everyblock.com/crime/
Mr Pfleger has left his mark on his home turf with his message of peace and hope. His zip is 60628. Highest number of crimes in the city. 2,290 in the last 11 months. (About 7 a day). The right rev wright has similarly healed the wounds and lifted the spirits of his neighbors in zip 60628. Second highest number of crimes in the city. 2273 in the last 11 months. (Just under 7 a day) Clearly their fire breathing message of hate has led many of their impressionable youths to have no respect for themselves, their neighbors or the law. Nice going guys.
PS the soul saving right rev wrights new home is in Tinley Park. 124 crimes in 2006 (0.3 per day) Sweet!
