" Can a Catholic explain this guy to me?

He's an attention whore of the variety that you can find in almost any walk of life. He has found a way to make himself the center of discussion and at the same time paint himself as a martyr. Unfortunately, although he is a priest, I see very little piety or priestly decorum in anything that he does. He seems to be out for himself and not the glory of God. I don't think that he does anything without first thinking about what kind of press coverage it will bring him. I get the same vibe from him that I get from Sharpton and Jackson.

Obviously this priest overstepped the boundary of civil discourse but when you strip away the obnoxiousness of his delivery isn't the core point of what he was trying to make true? That is Hillary definitely felt entitled to the nomination. After she cleared the playing field of what she thought were serious challengers (Evan Bayh, what's his name from Virginia)she expected only token opposition to the nomination. To lose out to a 46 year old greenhorn African American makes it that much worse.

And this is only the tip of the iceberg: There is the communist who was Obama’s mentor and Obama’s involvement
with ACORN.

Enemies of the republic are enemies regardless if they are in the cloth or not in the cloth. No difference.

In fact, those in the cloth are more dangerous because they are sacrosanct to the unwashed masses and the naive intelligentia because of their cloth.

A cross held by an evil, seditious "priest" helps him keep patriots from his neck just as surely as a cross held by a movie actress keeps a vampire away from her throat.

My bold.

We're going to snuff out John Riggio [gun store owner]

We're going to snuff out legislators that are voting against our gun laws.
Fr. Michael Pfleger

Fortunately no one took him up on it. He later explained he didn't know that snuff out was slang for kill. I believe that, the Father wouldn't lie. And Barry never heard a word of what was going on in Church, he was deep in thought while his co-religionists were whooping it up in support of Rev Wright, and Fr. Pfleger.

ISRA: Chicago Priest Calls for Murder of Gun Shop Owner

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., May 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):

Nobody expected Saturday's Operation PUSH protest at Chuck's Gun Shop & Range to be anything other than a circus of the bizarre. However, nobody anticipated that an address by a Chicago priest would include a call for the murder of a suburban gun shop owner and legislators who oppose gun control.

During an address at an anti-gun rally in front of Chuck's, Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina's Church, exhorted the crowd to "drag" shop owner, John Riggio, from his shop "like a rat" and "snuff" him.

Rev. Pfleger went on to tell the crowd that legislators that vote against gun control legislation should be "snuffed" as well. As many know, "snuff" is slang for especially violent murder.

The ISRA has a recording of Pfleger's remarks in MP3 format.

"Certainly Fr. Pfleger has offered Absolution to a murderer or two during his tenure as a priest," commented ISRA Executive Director, Richard Pearson. "That's why it's shocking to hear him actually advocate the murder of a gun shop owner who has never committed a crime in his life. He then compounds the problem by calling for the murder of legislators who disagree with his personal political views -- something I suspect is a felony in this state. Pfleger's comments were disgusting and dangerous. And, I seem to remember that the Fifth Commandment frowns on murdering one's neighbor."

"This week, I'll be penning a letter to the Archbishop, expressing my concerns over Rev. Pfleger's comments," continued Pearson. "I would hope that the Archbishop would reply with words of comfort for Mr. Riggio, his family, state legislators, and all others who were injured by Rev. Pfleger's thoughtless, inflammatory remarks."

The ISRA is the state's leading advocate of safe, lawful, and responsible firearms ownership. Since 1903, the ISRA has represented the interests of over 1.5 million law-abiding firearm Illinois firearm owners.

Father Pfleger's Support for Farrakhan

When the Illinois Hate Commission was found to have on its board. a Nation of Islam member- Sister Claudette Marie Muhammed who proudly stood up for Louis Farrakhan, the notoriously anti-white and anti-Semitic Minister (or as Barack Obama refers to him using the honorific "Minister Farrkhan," a controversy erupted. She refused to denounce his racist and anti-Semitic remarks,and refused to resign.

The Board's three Jewish members resigned in protest. Father Michael Pfleger not only supported the Sister's refusal to condemn Farrakhan's racism, he said this of the resignation of the Jewish members of the board, "Good Riddance."  

With his latest, belittling rant against Hillary Clinton, Pfleger may also be a misogynist , as well.   Obama's has identified Father Pfleger as on of his three spiritual mentors. The other two, Pastor Jeremaih Wright-much commented upon- and the Reverend James Meeks, who has his own trail of controversy (among which includes a dislike of gays) , Meeks has also been a beneficiary of campaign contributions from indicted Obama pal, Anthony Rezko.  

No wonder Barack Obam has not problem with the prospect of going on a "Great Haters of America" tour of the world. He appears to have no problem empathizing with their views of America-or Israel for that matter.   Much more about Pfleger by David Kopel at Volokh Conspiracy  and our own Rosslyn Smith.
