In regard to Hildabeast, he is correct.

They just played a clip of this 'sermon' on the Chicago local 6 o'clock news. No favorable comments, either.

I didnt think this was his church anymore?

Just saw this on Fox.. very strange Obama's church seems to insist on derailing his run. Or perhaps they just can't help themselves.

Trinity can't be racist...they like Anti-White whites.

Sure gives God a bad name is all I can say.

Talk about a wanna be!
Someone should let the good Rev in on a secret: He will never be Black no matter how hard he tries.
How sad.

They are what they are. This is their authentic self. This is what Obama supported for twenty years. It's interesting that the rest of us are shocked by it. Him? Not so much.

Haters, pathetic haters.

re: #3 A Kiwi Infidel

I didnt think this was his church anymore?

When Obama was asked that, he said Wright was no longer the Pastor ( I guess he does not understand what Pastor Emeritus means? ) and moved right on. You know kinda like I am eating my waffles-leave me alone?

So is this the new and improved Pastor at Obama's church? The one that's replaced Wright?

I see a pattern here and this seems to be what the people in that church want to hear. Sad :^(

Racism: being manufactured and inflamed at a Black church near you.

-this is disgusting. Really disgusting.

A tolerant loving priest!

*my ass*

It appears that he has preached there before. Wonder if barry was there?

i think he's an atypical white man.
most people aren't that stupid and desperate for attention.

How long before we see a clip of this being performed @ the church?

This isn't the replacement pastor ( HE is a nutcase just the same).

This is a local 'priest' that has been a community agitator in the city of Chicago for a long time. A thorn in the side of the church - he has made a name for himself by being outrageous. sort of like Jesse Jackson, but white and Catholic. A good friend of TUCC - but not it's pastor.

re: #15 nyc redneck

A conflicted metrosexual with an abundance of white guilt.

How about making Obama pay "reparashuns" for all the Africans his tribe captured and sold? Oh, i forgot, progressives are never to be hold accountable.

This a church or a political rally? A tax-exempt one?

What's not to believe? Pfleger knows what audience he's playing to, and he's giving them what they want. (Oh, you think a spiritual leader should give the flock what they need, not just what they want? Boy, are you a traditionalist!)

Good to hear it's being played on the MSM. Heard it on Hannity earlier and it's really vile stuff.

Did Cognito follow us to this thread? I'm curious what excuses he/she may have to explain away the Rev's sermon.

"Give up the benefits"
Yup, they are not even hiding that they want 100% taxation anymore.
If you give it all away to them freely, you may miss the "racist" designation.
Otherwise, as Barry's wife said, when they take power you will have to live with less.
Lots less.
Except peeps like Michele O, Pelosi, Jefferson et al. They will still get to keep theirs.
But they are doing it for our ow good, so we can be free of the guilt of being hard-working and successful on our own honest terms.

Why hasn't the Catholic Church tossed his lily white *** under the bus? In the Seattle Archdiocese we hear almost the same stuff, the last Archbishop, Hunthausen was known for chaining him self to the sub base gates out at Bangor.

I think if he opens his eyes he may see a whole different world...

give up the benefits. so, shouldn't ALL nations have to do this? At least every nation that partook in slavery. right?

Black White Liberation Theology ?

It's not his church anymore - he ditched it when it became a political liability. That tells you all you need to know about him.

This dude is waaay too self-loathing.

re: #18 mama winger

Thank you for the correction. I take back what I said about the congregation.

Sorry goobers, the people in my family who came to the US came from the Ukraine, Ireland, Germany, England and did so in the late 1800s. I owe you nothing whatsoever.

I’M WHITE! I’M ENTITLED! THERE’S A BLACK MAN STEALING MY SHOW. (SOBS!) SHE WASN’T THE ONLY ONE CRYING! THERE WAS A WHOLE LOTTA WHITE PEOPLE CRYING!

Oh, my. That's ridiculous. I'm no fan of Hillary, but to think that the woman sat there thinking "I'm WHITE!" and "A BLACK man is stealing my show!" is ludicrous. She was thinking "I'm HILLARY!" and "SOMEONE ELSE is stealing my show!" Honestly.

Really, though, I'm thoroughly disgusted that these idiots think I care what color my President is. I don't care what he/she looks like as long as he/she isn't a socialist leftist puppet for the George Soros' of the world.

Yeah, but Obama NEVER EVER NEVER saw any thing like that in the 20 years he attended?

But remember just because he been to Trinity for over 20 years cheering and applauding the anti-American, Anti-Israel and anti-white sermons doesn't mean he shares their views or politics.

re: #29 song_and_dance_man

For once I would like to hear the gospel preached from the chutch.

You will at mine, the ones teaching the gospel are growing. Those who are seeking, seek them out. Those who want to validate their leftist ideology go to "activist" churches.

Everyone is out of the closet...

The Hate Mongers, the Race Baiters, the Anti Semites, the Marxists, the Liberal Fascists, the Eco-Terrorists.

They are in the process of destroying this country, everything that it stood for, everything that generations have sacrificed to give them and the rest of us.

I am appalled that this has become so main stream. Time to take back the government.

I hope the Pope fires his ass...he is the self righteous kind that eventually be caught doing something very unseemly...

i only listened to 10 seconds of that stupid assh*le.
that's all you need to figure him out.
what an ugly angle he's working.
the audience must laugh at that fool, who of course, can't clap for sh*t.

Father Pfleger gives me phlegm.

I've been listening to this asshole Pfleger since the time I lived lived in Chicago in the earlt 80's. I'm Catholic, and this guy Pfleger is a fuckin' POS, and he always has been. He actually called for gun shop owners to killed.
His parish, St. Sabina, is in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city, where gangs basically rule the street.
A few years ago when parents from other neighborhoods refused to allow their kids to go into his neighborhood for little league games because they were concerned about their kids' safety, the asshole said it was because the parents were racists. Pfleger can go fuck himself, the piece of shit.

Well, don’t hold me responsible (gesticulating) for what my ancestors did. But you have enjoyed the benefits of what your ancestors did and unless you are ready to give up the benefits (voice rising), throw away your 401 fund, throw away your trust fund, throw away all the money you put into the company you WALKED INTO BECAUSE YO’ DADDY AND YO’ GRANDDADDY AND YO’ GREATGRANDDADDY–(screaming at the top of his lungs)–UNLESS YOU’RE WILLING TO GIVE UP THE BENEFITS, THEN YOU MUST BE REPSONSIBLE FOR WHAT WAS DONE IN YOUR GENERATION ‘CUZ YOU ARE THE BENEFICIARY OF THIS INSURANCE POLICY!

This guy goes from saying "Yo Grandaddy" to "people say that was put AHN".

Talk about "put on".

And I recommend that this church loses it's tax-exempt status immediately. The IRS has revoked it for much less. This wasn't a sermon, it was a political rally.

/by the way, when's the last time YOUR preacher said "DAMN" from the pulpit?

WTF?

This guy is ethnically confused.

Liberation theology is simply Marxism with a God twist and a little extra hate thrown in for good measure.

If a priest spoke like this at the Catholic church which I attend, I would stand up and walk out...across the front of the church.

Thankfully I've never heard a priest say anything remotely close to this sort of thing at my church.

re: #30 jcm

It seems as if Plugger and the Cardinal have been at odds for a long time, and there have been several repeated calls for him to be defrocked. The Cardinal had disciplined him and called him on the carpet, but so far he is still a priest.

Purge, white guilty preacher man. purge it!
That isn't respectful worship of the Lord. That the most self-centered display of self-loathing and eternal white guilt I have seen.

Although I take particular delight in the fact that Andrew Sullivan has run from the evil Chistianists - into the arms of THIS.

What upsets more than this jerk is the reaction of the congregants. It is the same reaction we heard on all of The Rev Wright's tapes also. For Obama to say he did not know what was going on in his church is laughable. Why doesn't anybody call him on it?

An amazingly hateful anti-Hillary, anti-white tirade at Barack Obama’s church in Chicago by Catholic priest Michael Pfleger.

Is he really speaking under the aegis of the Catholic church?

Mr. Pfleger is well versed in the art of agit-prop theater..."In other words, propaganda was supposed to act on the mind, while agitation acted on emotions, although both usually went together, thus giving rise to the cliché "propaganda and agitation". [Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

Phlegmer, I've got a couple verses for you.

I wonder if you've seen them before.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28

Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Colossians 3:11

Phlegmer your words are anti ethical to the gospel, they are not God's words. In the spiritual realm there are two sources God and Satan.

Your words are not God's words.

"The teaching authorities of the Catholic Church, have for more than 20 years now, been attempting to stamp out these heretical liberation theologies, denouncing them as vehemently antithetical to the Catholic Christian faith, and have been strenuously combating this Marxist counterfeit Christianity on many fronts within the Church herself."

Illinois may be headed for serious trouble, with the anti-gun legislation they are proposing. There are probably 30 major firearms maufacturers in Illinois, who have all vowed to move out of state if this legislation passes.

It's unreal.

We're all being judged "not by the content of our character but color of our skin"!

Maybe this kook is a Clinton plant, made to draw more attention the the Satanic "United Church of Christ" in Chicago.

Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina’s Church, went way over the top this week. During a protest against Chuck’s Gun Shop, Father Pfleger twice threatened to “snuff out” the shop’s owner and threatened the same fate for legislators who oppose his --- on gun control.

“We’re gonna find you and snuff you out,” Fleger said about the gun shop owner, likening the man to a “rat.” He later repeated his threat to “snuff out” the owner.

“We’re gonna snuff out legislators who are voting [garbled] against our gun laws and we’re coming for you because we are not going to sit idly.”

With that kind of violent mindset and hateful rhetoric, it’s no surprise that Father Michael Pfleger is so close to Louis Farrakhan. Or that he’s used violent rhetoric when threatening critics of Obama.

So Father Pfleger is out with a warning: “Do not touch this man [Obama],” he says, “for if you do, you will answer to us all.”
Or that he’s tried to carry water for him. Father Michael Pfleger like Jeremiah Wright has a close relationship to Farrakhan and a close relationship to Obama. A closer one than he does to his own Cardinal Francis George who has questioned whether he should even be a priest and at one point reassigned him entirely.

A quick Google search yields thousands of results on this guy, he seems just as bad as Rev Wright, and his "blessing" replaced Wright's on Obama's site once Obama threw Wright under the bus.

One of the problems of the Christian Church, Catholic and Protestant branches, is the lack of will to discipline. It's a function of the popular culture, being "tolerant" is the meme. Jesus was not tolerant. He was generous, patient and loving and FIRM and FORGIVING, but TOLERANT? No. It's impossible for God to be tolerant of evil, for that's what the world is demanding when it says, "tolerant."
The popular culture has twisted the concept of intolerance from something positive, as in "Intolerant of evil" to the surrender of "give up solid moral principles to curry short term favor."
So, when people in the church badly abuse their positions, they are given slaps on the wrist, or a talking to (which they pretend to absorb), because Christians have been taught it isn't NICE to be tough or be "judgmental" which has been corrupted to mean one can't make any common sense judgment calls on anything. "Meek" can be translated as debonnaire, which evokes a completely different and savvy temperament than a mousy, withdrawn "meek."
A debonnaire Christian would have hauled those guys out by the ears, tarred and feathered them with a boot in their asses, with a, "Don't come back unless you've reformed! And we'll be the judge of that, not YOU! And don't even PRETEND to think you're getting ANY responsibility EVER again. GRUNT for you!"
No "healing" no "dialogue" no wishy-washy.

Why hasn't the Catholic Church tossed his lily white *** under the bus? In the Seattle Archdiocese we hear almost the same stuff, the last Archbishop, Hunthausen was known for chaining him self to the sub base gates out at Bangor.

The Archdiocese tried to get rid of him, but was preoccupied by the sex scandal stuff. Cardinal George gave him another 6 years there. Most of the clergy really don't like Pfleger.

Not according to this

Typical of Mr. Obama’s earmarks was a $100,000 grant for a youth center at a Catholic church run by the Rev. Michael Pfleger, a controversial priest who was one of the few South Side clergymen to back Mr. Obama against Mr. Rush.

He is just another one of the host of Obama's spirtual advisers on hate.

He is a priest. Pfleger subscribes to Liberation Theology, which the Church has been trying to get rid of for over 20 years now. The Archdiocese wants to get rid of him. The problem is, they can't pull him from St. Sabina's for another 4 years or so due to the fact that pastors need to complete a 6 year term. Pfleger's been there for 20 years now. A standard term for a pastor is no more than 12 years (two 6 year terms). Pfleger just won't effing leave.

That always surprises me when I hear that a Catholic priest does not follow the teachings of the church. For example, if I said I'm Mormon but I don't believe in the Book of Mormon, I drink alcohol and I don't obey the law of chastity. How Mormon would I be?

My ancestors had nothing to do with owning slaves or anything this hatemongering racist idiot is ranting about, including getting any special advantages anyone should have to repay the black members of that church for. They were all busy being persecuted themselves in Europe while anything he was claiming could have been happening.

That's true of an awful lot of white people the racist hatemonger rants about. Meanwhile, the TUC church crowd is just about having a collective orgasm enjoying seeing a white Catholic priest kissing up to them, trying to act like a black preacher, and feeding them the stuff they love to hear about their monopoly on victimhood at the hands of their evil white oppressors. None of their present problems could possibly have anything to do with anything under their own control, or that they have any responsibility to fix, of course.

Can Obama have been in that church for 20 years and never heard this stuff before?

Two Priests cut from the same bolt of hate cloth 60 plus years apart. Michael Pfleger is a whiner, he's got a voice like fingernails on a blackboard.

So, how screwed are we?

Our #1 minority believes they are the master raza, and are actively seeking to divide our country.

Our #2 minority believes all whites owe them reparations for a deed done by a tiny percentage of some of our ancestors, while ignoring the guilt of their own ancestors in perpetrating the act.

Our #3 minority (vocally if not numerically) believes that allah should send us all to hell for dancing, dating and sun-tanning.

IIRC, that's reserved for the Pope, as is removing a priest from the priesthood, and the previous one was more into globetrotting than cleaning up the Church. I am very certain Benedict knows about this asshole and is waiting for the right moment to get rid of him. Ben is more interested in cleaning the Church, but works a lot behind the scenes.

Most of us outside St. Sabina's really dislike the man. Pfleger has managed to grow some sort of deep roots there, and is a PITA to remove. Looking in from the outside (I'm in the Diocese of Joliet, Pfleger is in the Archdiocese of Chicago), it's hard to understand why he's gotten a pass for so long. I do know the sex scandal kept Cardinal George from dealing with it immediately.

It has been my experience that Priests can be removed/transferred by an extensive letter writing campaign from the local level. But if his congregation shares his beliefs, and the Parish is not being run into the ground, not much is going to happen.

Wow, the details from this are already on Pfleger's bio at Wikipedia.

re: #137 stevieray
Many thanks!

Ya'll know, the Church (any church) not busting these guys is really no different than what goes on in an office, a lot of managers just don't want to make the hard decision: FIRE him. Everybody wants to be likeable and be liked, so FIRING someone makes them the meanie.
Patton was right, 90% of staff can be worked with - move people around to better positions where they can shine, some need extra training, a few need just some guidance as they mature, but 10% are incorrigible and should be fired as soon as it's determined that they are one of those 10% types. To keep them on wrecks the cohesiveness and productivity and morale of the rest of the staff. Classic. The churches have the same problem, alas. The officers wanna be liked more than wanna keep to the discipline.

The movie Twelve O'Clock High is standard fair for management classes, addressing directly the failure of likeability in leadership. Under new management in the squadron, slackers were sent to the plane renamed, "THE LEPER COLONY" until they worked themselves out to the other planes. Warm and huggy mush was killing the crews, tough kept them alive.

I don't know if any of my ancestors were involved in slavery but let's say for the sake of argument they were. How far back do reparations go? There were quite a few Africans that were enslaved before the United States began practicing slavery. There were a number of Africans who enslaved other Africans. And there were Africans that enslaved Semitic tribes.

Taking this to its logical conclusion, Americans of European descent that were involved in slavery have to pay black Americans of African descent money for slavery who then have to pay each and Africans of African descent for slavery who then have to pay Jews for slavery for the work done in Egypt. Let's just cut out the middle man and just give the money to Adam Sandler and call it square.

This blog talks about what Pfleger said at a protest against a Chicago gun shop.

What a self-loathing prick. This isn't a church, it's a goddamned hate white America clubhouse!

Someone has an online petition to get Pfleger removed...if you're Catholic, you might wish to check this out.

my husband is not white, and he watched this video in silence. And I said "Aren't you glad you're not white? You don't have to give up your 401k!" - and he said "well, I'm actually feeling a little ashamed to be married to you right now" (tongue in cheek)

What total rubbish. disgusting.

Obama "deeply disappointed" in Father Michael Pfleger. UPDATE Pfleger apology.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said in a statement he was "deeply disappointed" in Father Michael Pfleger, after the priest --in a scene caught on videotape-- mocked Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y) from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago--the home church of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. UPDATE Click below for Pfleger apology

“As I have traveled this country, I've been impressed not by what divides us, but by all that that unites us. That is why I am deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger's divisive, backward-looking rhetoric, which doesn't reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together in common cause," Obama said in a statement.

Response of Rev. Michael L. Pfleger of statements made during a sermon on Sunday, May 25, 2008

"I regret the words I chose on Sunday. These words are inconsistent with Senator Obama's life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Senator Clinton or anyone else who saw them."

/another on goes under the Obama bus

re: #172 Mormon Doc
Hmm. Maybe the question should be: "What price would you pay for you and everyone you love to be freed from slavery?"

So, if it was "the world" or "my right arm" or "an arm and a leg" or "a million dollars," or "everything I own," then how much have you saved because by the grace of God, you were born into a society that ended slavery over a century ago?

To be clear, I am saddened by this priest because in my view he damages the entire Catholic church and I think he could injure people. I remember when I was searching for my own spiritual path and the various times I attended Catholic mass. The priests were always genuine and sincere men of faith who spoke of God and submitted themselves to Him.

I can't imagine running into someone like this priest in hopes of finding spiritual guidance. Either I don't understand the role that of a priest with respect to preaching the Good News or Mr. Pfleger (and I used Mr. on purpose) doesn't understand it. People who turn to ecclesiastical leaders are often in a very vulnerable state. My guess is that these people don't find very much Good News when they turn to him.

re: #74 gop_patriot

My ancestors owned slaves. Then the Civil War came along; slaves freed, the family financially ruined. I think Karma was satisfied at that time.
(The plantation house is still standing---it's a B/B).

How utterly despicable and disgusting. Once again, have to wonder -- Where's the IRS? Why are these hideously disgusting frauds (campaigining shamelessly for their "candidate") allowed to call themselves "religious"? Why? Where is the IRS?

I'm not sure what this POS thinks he is, but he's no Catholic Priest...in fact he sounds and looks like a Pervert.

"I regret the words I chose on Sunday. These words are inconsistent with Senator Obama's life and message, and I am deeply sorry if they offended Senator Clinton or anyone else who saw them." - Pfleger

This is one of the most disingenuous and self serving statements I have read in my entire life. What a low impression he has of Americans who saw his wretched bile spewed forth. To assume for even a single moment that this statement is more reflective of his beliefs than his "sermon" requires, to borrow a phrase, the willing suspension of disbelief.

Holy f*ck...what an embarrassment! This isn't religion, that's a cult that church...bunch of zombies. He could defecate on stage and they'd cheer!

I ___ disagree ___ denounce ___ condemn ___ distance myself from whatever ___ said.

How's that?

I found this revolting in every respect:

First, this nation has spent trillions and fought wars to liberate the former slaves.

This nation kicked open freedom's door and made the slaves full citizens

This nation has transformed itself in every way to build a just and equal society. This same nation is taking a hard look at electing an African American president.

Who is this man to dare say one word against such a nation? If this is not a righteous nation, then what is? Cuba? Saudi Arabia? How about Sudan? By what sense of justice shall we punish people for having done the right thing? I hear this man's words and know that no amount of giving, voluntary or involuntary would ever satisfy what he thinks must be given.

For bonus questions:

Will former descendants of black slave owners be denied their share of the giant wealth transfer or do they get their "fair share?" How would we even figure out who the slave owners are?

My family did not arrive to this country until AFTER slavery, as Jews who actually helped the civil rights movement and took extraordinary measures to help our local African American community, how is it justice Father P when we were neither "beneficiaries" nor ever victimizers.

If Jesus taught people to love others, how is it love to demand all their possessions? While I can understand the poor asking for help and think people should be generous and give- I find it offensive in the extreme for this Bozo with a collar to insist on a justice that strips the donor of everything.

But one thing is clear, he does belong on the pulpit of this nice mainstream church...

This Fr. probably thinks Christ returned in the collected writings of Karl Marx and Che Guevera, I am going to ask a Rabbi I know for his analysis of this very special vid.

A few years back I had to undergo an operation. There were some major risks in the procedure and the downside risks in the procedure would have a major negative impact on my life. As I sat in the OR awaiting my knockout drops, an African American pastor walked in and asked if I wanted a prayer. I told him, "Reverend, I am Jewish, but right now, I need all the help I can get." In America, we can always find a way to pray together.

The "Great Whore" is code for the Catholic Church. Some fundies interrupt parts of the Bible as referring to Rome. I won't supply you with links but if you Google:
"Great Whore Catholic Church"
you'll get an idea. She has had the comment deleted in the past but still persists. Now changed it from 'Whore' to 'Harlot'. The message of hate toward 1.5 billion Catholics is still the same.

I'm the descendant of Italian peasants and Swedish tenant farmers who arrived in America decades after slavery was abolished...as well as Welsh miners and Creek Indians who had absolutely nothing to do with the "peculiar institution." I grew up lower-middle-class, and became the first (and only) person in my family to earn a college degree. To date, I haven't seen any of the 401ks or other inheritances of my Evil White Ancestors this prick insists must exist.

Pfleger, you disgrace the Church of Jesus and His Apostles even more than the pedophile priests ever did. They merely destroyed individuals in the name of religion -- you are trying to take down an entire nation and civilization with your ignorant and hateful spewings. You are nothing more than a cheap, vicious demagogue hiding behind the respectability of the Christian ministry, and deserve to be both scorned for your sick rantings, and laughed at for your patronizing shuck-n-jive caricaturizing of Black Evangelical homiletics.

Put more succinctly: F**k You, "Father"!

I was asked to donate to this idiots "children" the other day. I live in Chicago. I told the person that there was no possible way I would give any money to that person. Now, I hope the Catholic church takes a hard look at him.

How in this day and age can anyone speak about white entitlement? I mean, white kids have a tougher time getting into selective colleges. I have white daughters applying to schools-minorities don't have to have the same grades or standardized test scores as whites-they get a pass.

Obama and his wife were recipients of this largesse.

This "hate whitey" propaganda coming from the pulpit of this church I hope is not the standard for all black churches in America. It's disgusting.

I don't support Obama for a lot of reasons, none of them have to do with his skin color.

There is a word that starts with "w" that sounds like the "n-word" that i have heard come out of the mouths of some teens on the street. I am not sure if it is politically correct to use since it refers to a white person acting like what some would say is a typical un-white person. I have never ever used the term, but for some reason, this preacher made me remember that word. Thanks a Lot! I really despise BHO and his church for exacerbating racial fears and hatred. BHO is a divider, not a uniter.

Oh, to stay with the theme of this thread...my family did own slaves at one time in North Carolina, and Mississippi. After the War between the States, they didn't.

I learned in my history books that the war ended in 1865. I was born almost 100 years later, in the north.

How much do I owe, and who do I write the check out to? Is is tax deductible? After I write it, can we end all entitlement programs-forever. Can we have a flat tax? Can we end affirmative action? Can Jesse Jackson get a real job? Can we end all the hate bs and all the white guilt that the black establishment has used to enrich itself in America?

I am in. I will be fine in the end. Just end all the bull crap.

Ironically, when I lived in the suburbs-I was more tolerant. Now that I live in a city, I am not tolerant. The bums that panhandle from me every day on my walk home, virtually all black. The people that I cross the street to avoid-virtually all black. I am becoming less tolerant-and I don't like it. But if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a duck.

At some point the failure of succeeding generations of blacks is not my fault. Not when they won't turn in the gang bangers that terrorize their streets. Not when they don't even show up for high school much less graduate. Not when they are grandparents when most people in America are having their first children. Not when they continually look to the government for a handout. That's not my problem.

And Mr. Change Obama sat in that house for twenty years and this is the change he accomplished among those folk, no thank you, we don't need that kind of leadership running this country.

Think of the logistics of trying to determine what percentage of your family owned slaves and what percentage didn't. Chances are if one side of the family owned slaves the other side of the family may not have. Whole thing is crazy and not thought out.

It is a disgrace that any Christian church allows - and even ENCOURAGES - this hateful speech from the pulpit.

The message of the Gospel is about forgiveness and redemption. It's about the love expressed for the human race - of all ethnic groups - through the amazing sacrifice made by Jesus on the cross.

Preaching divisiveness, vengeance and hate from the pulpit is not something I would want to have to explain to God. I don't envy these pastors when that time comes!

I pray that this church finds it's footing and returns to that message of love and peace.

You self-hating POS, Pfleger.

That's what I find profoundly interesting. There are no jeers, shocked sounds of dismay, boos, nothing like that. The camera pans over the audience showing the congregation standing up cheering.

[Link: www.suntimes.com...]

I tried posting this to the links but it said it is already posted but I couldn't find it.

"The biggest challenge, I think, is always maintaining your moral compass."

Friends and advisers, such as the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church in the Auburn- Gresham community on the South Side, who has known Obama for the better part of 20 years, help him keep that compass set, he says.

"I always have felt in him this consciousness that, at the end of the day, with all of us, you've got to face God," Pfleger says of Obama. "Faith is key to his life, no question about it. It is central to who he is, and not just in his work in the political field, but as a man, as a black man, as a husband, as a father... I don't think he could easily divorce his faith from who he is."

You've done it in the past and had your posts deleted, and now you just want to change a word and get away with your bigotry. I'm not wasting my time on you. But please feel free to explain that 'seven hills' thing to anyone that is interested.

Enjoy it.

Weren't the Obamaites screaming that if you don't vote for the Messiah you were a racist? After seeing this video, coupled with Wright, I must say that if you do vote for Obama, you are a racist.
It would seem the Dem Party has a real problem on their hands and it is the nomination of a black racist that is unelectable.

re: #114 Mo86

I am embarrasssed on behalf of my city.

But... hasn't anyone told this guy that HE IS WHITE?

I have never understood this ranting and raving about how horrible and racist white people are towards blacks, when the person doing the speaking is white too!

Well, the Jews have people like Norman Finkelstein, Noam Cholmsky, and the Neutra Karta nut jobs who show up to be photographed in support of every anti-semitic tyrant and terrorist on the planet.

There were even blacks who were members of the Ku Klux Klan, and who were willingly used to betray other black people. ( [Link: secretsocieties.tribe.net...] ).

So it's only fair that Catholics should have an equally despicable white priest who spews out racial hatred of all white people.

re: #118 greenmiler

I notice these unfortunate, suffering, displaced persons never demand the "Right of Return"

Bingo! I was thinking about how to make that point but I would have never done as well as this.

OK,

Let's talk reparations. I'm a card carrying Cherokee. When all the non-native, non-red skinned people get the payment amounts figured out, how about we just settle up then, Father?

Pastor Hagee apologizes for anti-Catholic remarks May 13

"In my zeal to oppose anti-Semitism and bigotry in all its ugly forms, I have often emphasized the darkest chapters in the history of Catholics and Protestant relations with the Jews," Hagee wrote. "In the process, I may have contributed to the mistaken impression that the anti-Jewish violence of the Crusades and the Inquisition defines the Catholic Church. It most certainly does not."

Hagee has often made references to "the apostate church" and the "great whore," terms that Catholics say are slurs aimed at the Roman Catholic Church. In his letter, Hagee said he now better understood that the Book of Revelation's reference to the Catholic Church as "the apostate church" and the "great whore" are "a rhetorical device long employed in anti-Catholic literature and commentary."

He stressed that in his use, "neither of these phrases can be synonymous with the Catholic Church."

re: #249 song_and_dance_man
I see you evaded the "seven hills" question. Why don't you explain that? You know you want to. Throw some links out to back up your argument, too. I'm sure you've got them and are just itching to use them. The floor is yours. I'll check back in the morning.

re: #242 EC Marm

It's actually the Whore of Babylon, that being the Roman Catholic Church. Screwy fundy crap really.

As to this so-called man of God: Whatever, media whore. I pray I will never sell out my faith and Church for ultra-liberal politics.

Meh, no need to pray, ain't gonna happen.

Step back from the ledge...

I'm not the one to identify the "Whore of Babylon", but having seen that clip I can definitely show you the Whore of Chicago.

Isn't it kind of strange that nearly all of the events mentioned in the Bible occur within a couple hundred mile radius, yet the "seven hills" are somehow magically transported a thousand miles away to some area relatively unknown to the residents of the Holy Land? Like you say, fundy stuff.
Comment #255 explains where I usually see the stuff and one of the "great whore" originators.

I posted #255 to show that Hagee retracted it. If Hagee sees the error, why can't others?

What this priest is doing is scandalous and wrong - it clearly goes against the teaching of the Church. He's almost certainly on the wrong side of the canon law, too.

Here's how to fix this: The first step is to send the transcript to his bishop, along with a letter asking if the bishop would consider the views of the priest to be racist, and if so, what kinds of sanctions can be expected. I would also suggest sending also a letter to the diocese's Anti-racism Committee, headed by Rev. Kendall Haynes, whose e-mail is listed at the link.

All letters should be polite, well-reasoned, and temperate. What's more, all actions should be taken with demonstrable good faith. A combative legalistic approach will not work very well here. What we have is a priest with a moral, spiritual, and perhaps even a psychological disorder. The bishop will seek his recovery before his punishment.

This should receive a quick response, but if it doesn't the next step is forwarding the copy of the of the letters and responses to the appropriate folks at the Vatican (probably to Wm. Joseph Levada at the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, start by inquiring at the cdf@cfaith.va). It might also be good to retain a good canon lawyer in the unlikely case that the bishop is totally unresponsive - the folks at the Saint Joseph's Foundation will probably be happy to help, although I'm guessing it won't come to that.

I guess their eyes "offendth them" and they plucked them out.

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Because if you really want to literally interpret the Bible, that's what one would do.

re: #233 song_and_dance_man

The subject of the Great Slut cannot be left aside to be determined for a later date.

She is the one who entertains the world with the guise of religion. All her prostitutes assume the pose and accepts the values of everything wordly that is contrary to God, with the exception the hostel must assume some semblance of religiosity.

She is found everywhere wherever He is not found nowadays.

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.

This had me confused at first but now I see; you are talking about Islam! Right?

re: #253 song_and_dance_man

I'm weary of the tag team and miss your input. Over the ring in just the nick of time would be nice.

/Don't be shy

Ok. then. The New Testament in the reinterpretation of the the story of Mithra with an anti-Roman slant. There's now way the original authors woulds have known they would eventually destroy the temple of Mirtha on "Vatican Hill", replace it with the Vatican, and take over Rome. Of course there's anti-Roman stuff in there. That's the whole point of inventing the religion in the first place.
Am I helping?

Ahhh, yes - "Father" Michael Phlegmbag... no wonder the Catholic Church is falling apart - can't give the boot to either child molesters or racist scumbags.

re: #91 song_and_dance_man

The great Harlot becomes more defined?
/you mean the Catholic Church?
I disagree. Yes a bad priest, but it is apparent he doesn't serve God or the Church, but himself.

re: #273 song_and_dance_man

I was asking you a question is all. I have defended you at times.
I am not your enemy. I have never in my life seen a priest act as this one has. I am Catholic yes...and nearly turned my back on the Church (but not God) at one time because of a priest mentioning the suicide of my father-in-law at mass. God quickly turned me around.
I do not consider one Christian better than another. I am Catholic and will remain so. I have learned from protestants also.
I know you saw that post. I simply do not like people degrading the Catholic Church...it has it flaws as do all humans. But I have never degraded other Christians simply because they weren't Catholic.

re: #278 song_and_dance_man

The Whore may come from a religion but not one that pleads the Blood of Christ and continually mentions The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Nor one that mentions Jesus Christ as the Savior.
If God turned me around from turning my back on the Catholic Church..
The Whore will not come from the Church.
I was lead through the darkness at that time...I took the steps forward not knowing whether or not I would fall off the cliff and on faith I stepped forward not knowing whether God should give wings or solid ground. He did. I have no fear of the future because by keeping in contact ( by prayer) I will be lead through the darkness unharmed.
Many people who are not Catholic and even Catholics themselves do not understand the Church. I recieved a quick understanding in my late 30's.
To say ugly things about the Pope is what? Being Christian?
The Catholic Church is not the enemy.

Nor shall it come from the Jewish religion or the Protestants.
